This is my first time starting a thread on here, so bear with me. Lately, I've had a thought of something that could work well in either future official content or mod content. In many maps, we see car dealerships scattered around, but these dealers are somewhat genericized, or at the minimum, don't look like new car dealerships. Some might have manufacturer branded banners, but since those banners also appear in other places, including on race tracks, they don't properly serve as signage advertising what the dealer specializes in. So, why not have some lore-friendly, brand specific dealer buildings and signage? They could certainly bring a more immersive experience to the game, as well as fitting with the simulator intent of BeamNG.Drive. And, perhaps these buildings and signs could also be easily accessible to mod creators, so they can build their own within custom maps. That does leave some other questions, of course, like...what would these signs and buildings look like? Would they mirror cues from IRL brands from which they get their inspiration from, or do they get completely unique looks? Unfortunately, even in modded content, we haven't seen much as far as brand-specific dealer content. The only two examples that come to mind are the ETK dealer in the Xero Parklands map, which is simply a very lightly rebranded Jefferson Motors building from WCUSA, and the Ibishu dealership in the Roane County, TN map, which is more properly brand-specific, though is admittedly not to the standard of official dealership buildings, as they're lacking interiors, only having simpler textured buildings. Could be pretty neat to see these kinda things implemented, either in updates to existing maps or added in future official maps, or created by the modding community. If anyone has any specific ideas for this they'd like to share, feel free to comment below!
