    1989 - 1995 Legacy Nexus/FL-Line - Lexus LS Mk1, Infiniti Q45 Mk1, Acura Legend Mk1
    1990s Japanese luxury F-segment/fullsize sedan, first and flagship model of a Legacy brand. Name Nexus was used from 1989 to 1991, while the name FL-Line is used from 1991 on. It's based on Lexus LS Mk1, with headlights from Infiniti Q45, and some styling cues (window line) from it as well. Rear end would be styled after Acura Legend's with plate position on trunk. Interior would be from Infiniti Q45 with Lexus LS steering wheel and gauge cluster. It would have minor facelift in 1992, with changes on front grille and bumpers. It would have some trim levels, with all high-end equipment for the time, such as airbags, ABS, ESC, all 4 power windows, power mirrors, etc. There would be many versions, e.g. police with UK livery, LWB with stronger engine, armored windows and doors, beater, taxi, etc. There would be 2 engines, petrol ones, 3.6 V6 220 HP and 3.9 V8 with 260 HP. There would be 6 speed manual and 4 speed automatic gearbox. Body type is 4-door unibody sedan. Suspension is independent double wishbone with coilovers. There's also air suspension option. Brakes are all 4 discs.

    -Why it should be added?
    -We don't have any Japanese luxury fullsize cars, and it would be good Grand Marshal alternative.

    I'd say U-Line would be a nicer nameplate, 'cause it's usually fancy expensive car = high letter or number.

    Otherwise, you may get situations like with Cadillac and "ah, so the CT6 is above the CTS and XTS, but the XT5 is below the CT6?"

    I'd like to keep with my Legacy alphabet nomenclature, (A, B, C, D line), where A is compact/C-segment luxury car and D is fullsize luxury.
    Firstly, I also wanted to use names with high letters (e.g. Y, P, etc.), but then I switched to A, B names, because these are pretty much on order IMO.

    Infiniti and Lexus are experimenting with subcompacts, and there may be more than 1 car in a segment (eg. Lexus ES and GS). Your system fails at that, while mine gives room for expansion.

    Extremo E1 (2004-):

    It is a...

    ...2000s British barchetta trackday car. Based on the Radical Sportscars' offerings, but with a Ferrari Enzo front and Ariel Atom dashboard. Spaceframe, mid-engine RWD, all-wheel pushrod suspension and disc brakes. Snappy handling.

    Configs:
    • E1-200 - Equipped with a 200 HP 1.3 I4, 6-spd manual, an LSD, sport suspension, sport brake pads and 16x7/16x9 alloys with 205/40 R16/255/40 R16 sport tires.
    • E1-260 - As above, but with a turbo (260 HP), semi-race brake pads and 16x8/16x10 alloys with 235/40 R16/285/40 R16 sport tires.
    • E1-360 - As above, but with a 360 HP 1.9 turbo V6, uprated LSD, bigger brakes with semi-race pads and 16x9/16x11 alloys with 265/40 R16/305/40 R16 sport tires.
    • E1-500 (2015-) - As above, but with a 500 HP 3.8 biturbo V6, sequential gearbox, race suspension, even bigger brakes, 16x10/16x12 alloys with 285/40 R16/335/40 R16 sport tires, a carbon bodykit and a rollbar.
    • E1-660 (2015-) - As above, but with Stage 2 turbos (660 HP), race LSD, full race brake pads and 16x11/16x13 alloys with 315/40 R16/365/40 R16 sport tires.
    • Race - Based on the E1-360/E1-660, but with racing slicks, a full rollcage and a racing paintjob.

    Alphabet system I use for global models. For specific market models (e.g. for USA) I use other names (H-Line, for example; I even suggested a car under that name).

    There aren't such, e.g. I haven't planned one.

    Except that all the Japanese players have left room for them in naming, and Lexus is planning to release the UX subcompact CUV.

    Ford Orion (1990-1993)Burnside Special
    ford.jpg 1990.jpg orion.jpeg A pretty rare car made by ford.
    Burnside Special fits because the car is rare and valuable and was not long built

    ... and why not just a Garvil instead of a Burnside, let alone a vehicle under the Special nameplate?

    Burnside is Gavril's luxury brand. Ford Orion is nowhere near luxury car. And Special model name is used for a fullsize car. You should consider changing the name (maybe Sonic Lugo).

    I've had an idea of an Orion-Escort based car called Gavril Hesperis. I created it around two years ago, but never posted it here as it wasn't complete and I didn't feel like finishing it. Unfortunately, I can't access all my drawings and papers with specifications and post them here right now.
    It is a global market late eighties-early nineties compact. Hesperis was available in following body styles (if I remember correctly): 4-door sedan, 3 or 5-door liftback and a 5-door wagon. The design was a mix of EUDM Escort Mk4 and USDM Escort Mk2, while the wagon's rear end had some bits of EUDM Escort Mk5 wagon and Nissan AD.
