    He probably meant the ETK K Series, all those models are coupes (Kc**) so far.

    I am pretty sure when they add new sounds to the cars, then they will add sirens to the emergency vehicles. Beacuse it is a sound.

    except, their cover story makes sense when you open the game files and also look at the config names. THe car is literally called the etkc in the game files.

    Ok that makes sense but then why name it the ETK K series in every other place when it could've been named the C series from the start with no problems?

    c=coupe. its an ETK Coupe. Alot of the cars have in file names that both make sense and dont. The covet is simply known as "hatch". The T series is "semi". D series "pickup". The modern pessima is "midsize" for midsize sedan. The Grand Marshal is "fullsize" for fullsize sedan. Sunburst and older pessima are "sunburst" and "pessima" though and the Etk 800 series is still "etk800". But seems rather than ETK K series, they shorthanded it to etkcoupe and from that etkc

    We often don't have the final public facing name when starting with a vehicle, so we choose some code name for it and then later decide what the car will actually be called.

    In ECA files I found by accident a model (unfinished) called eca_bld_cardealership, and as the name suggests, it looks like a car dealership. Big parking lot around, and a windowed 1 floor building in the middle. Directory is levels/east_coast_usa/art/shapes/building/eca.

    So, what do you say? Part of the campain/career mode?

    There is another un-used roadsign shows that the town used to be called as "Fir Rock" instead of Firwood
