    I think the Hirochi brand deserves more love
    Concepts for a Kia K5 based sedan for Hirochi, which I call the Hirochi Suboptimal (as the previous generations of the Kia K5 were originally called the Kia Optima)
    The headlight and side body lines on the front view were done by a friend, the bottom grille is taken from the Hirochi ESBR, everything else I've done myself

    I mean.. the concept looks good and has just the slightest bit of CCF in it but a Hirochi, a japanese fictional brand, based on a South Korean car doesn't really make sense. All mods so far for Hirochi have been based on brands like Subaru, Mitsubishi, or Mazda. Maybe if the concept was based off a Mazda6 or Subaru Legacy, it would follow the Hirochi brand more fittingly.

    I had no idea what other brand to put it under, there's not really any better alternatives

    You could probably create a new fictional South Korean brand. People have made mod lore brands before such as Procyon or AW, so what's stopping you from creating a new one?

    I'd name it the Hima Performa.
    "Hima" is derived from the word "power" or "strength" (힘) in Korean, seeing as Kia is derived from "ki", which means "to rise". It is also a reference to one of Kia's slogans, "The Power to Surprise."
    "Performa" is a play on the word Optima.
    Sounds good enough, doesn't it? ;)

    I heard you are making Korean cars.
    Most of the names of Korean automobile companies are made up of (Korean style)Chinese characters.
    For example, Chinese characters such as Hyundai (現代), Kia (起亞),Daewoo (大宇), etc are used.
    So how about using Chinese charact ers?
