Not all rebadges are bad, but not gonna lie, the Autron Cacatron definitely makes Ibishu and Autron itself look bad. Honestly, I want to see rebadges that aren't just a change of logos, but rather a new design and new engines, like the Burnside Commander, for example.
I personally find it interesting that three of the best rebadges are all based on the Grand Marshal. The Burnside Windsor (WIP), the Hedan Flag-Guard, and the Ibishu Diadem. Those three are all proper examples of how to make a rebadge mod.
i belive rebadges are only good when they support game lore. (soliad landsdale to bruckell landscaper)
I just wish Autron built their own cars, like I don't know, a second generation Petitron that is based on the Citroën C1/Peugeot 107, with an Ibishu-badged Toyota Aygo version, maybe?
The creator of Autron brand, @ibishucovet1987.txt established in their lore that autron started as a parts manufacturer and later partnered with Ibishu in the 80s to build complete cars. Plus, the C1/107 was jointly developed with Toyota and also sold as a Toyota in real life, so it would make sense to parallel that in the game --- Post updated --- He also said in his lore that the Ibishu partnership ended in 1996, this car was made after that so by default that would open up the possibility of a joint venture with Hirochi, or even with a mod brand like Arima or Mikawa (if he decides to arrange that with one of those brands respective creators)
I suppose you're right. Besides, it sounds like this will be the last update for the Xenira anyway --- Post updated --- It is weird that some user-generated brands like Procyon do well, while others have mixed success (Arima, Daewon, Rayton), and some are just labeled as "lazy" rebadges (Autron)
I Guess quality plays a rôle here Autron is labelled as " IbIShU rEbADgE " even tho they feel litteraly like New cars , like ibishus that have been restyled , downsized, adapted into much more variant and french-o-fied Also just gonna leave this here
what do you mean arima, daewon and rayton have mixed sucess ? no they dont, rayton and daewon mods are being made by a singular person and they are quite good, and theres a decent amount of well recieved arima mods. the lazy rebadges specially are roberts jinhai thing and autron too, tho the cvp is better at not being lazy
appart from the basic versions resembling the pessima too much, theres a lot of modeling and design issues : note : these are the newest pics i could find but they are still wip, but still some of the issues (like panelgaps, the hood line and C pillar have been there since the original version)
