    Long time lurker here.
    I thought I'd jump in with some new speculation fuel.

    What do you guys think the engine position will be in the new covet?
    Transverse: turbo 16, shogun, clio v6
    Longitudinal: 6R4, 5 turbo

    My guess is a transverse layout with AWD in combination with an I4 turbo.
    But i do wonder how to are going to manage the gearbox placement.

    I'm very concerned about the people who are going to be running this world within the next 15 - 20yrs based on this thread as of late. I think the MR Covet will be a transverse mounted V6 driving the rear wheels only in true early Group B fashion. The AWD cars came later towards the end of Group B. It doesn't make sense for a small hatchback to be AWD, especially not from c. 1985 - 1991

    1985 was the late group b era, so the covet would never be an early group B car, and seing this car takes the rear spoiler from the mazda familia sport 4 (this model had AWD) it would not surprise me if there was AWD. plus if they allready have RWD why not add AWD since the car allready is FWD

    If they’re adding 4WD, I wonder if they’ll have an off-road version. Like, an aftermarket one with taillight guards, a bull bar, overly-lifted, spacer, bolted fender flares, that sorta thing.
    --- Post updated ---
    There could also be one from the factory kinda like the VW Golf Country.

    I don't think the new update will break all Covet mods. The Jbeam probably won't be redone from scratch as it doesn't have many outdated or unrealistic things, I imagine they will only tweak it to be more realistic and fit the new model. The textures will definitely be updated but maybe the skin UV will be the same as before. Also some of the customization parts are relatively new so maybe those won't change at all.

    If they don't add the CRX style Covet, I just remembered that the KJLP pack has one.
