Also, do they feature an erectile shifter? It's the only reason I could see for you to draw such a tiny gear shifter.

I've finally created an Allegro I can be satisifed with. I'm now moving on to the next project.


Cleveland OH- Iagei Motors Incorporated just released Specs on their New Compact C-segment Car, the Aviva Allegro.

Riding atop the DM platform, the Allegro is the first car to display this new platform. The DM platform and its variants (DL, DN) will be shared with at least Three other cars, all of which will see Sales in the US.


The Allegro is Smaller than its Main competitors; Honda Civic and Montgomery Icon, but only in length. The Wheelbase is longer than both cars, but the overhangs are impossibly short, maybe even the shortest on a car of this class and price. This makes for a More Balanced, nimble and overall fun to drive package over its competitors. Like its smaller stablemate the Kier, the Allegros engine has been mounted lower and farther back for a close to 50/50 weight distribution. (45/55) The Engine and platform Is safe too, the engine is designed to bounce under the car instead of inside the cabin. The car is also lighter too, the sedan weighing in just over 2400lbs.


Outside, the dramatic straight lines flow into a tall, short deck trunk lid. The Rear jeweled lights are neat, clean, and different.. The Front Triangular Lamps are clear and Crisp at night, sporting HID lamps. The Wheels range from 16" to 18" in size and nicely compliment the sharp lines.


Inside, the Driver-Oriented dash board is quite unique. It has four storage boxes, and one open cubby hole. There is a Standard 12-volt plug outlet in the dashboard to plug up and charge things such as Small Appliances, Cell Phones and more. The triangular theme is carried out further in the dashboard. The Front seats are roomy and Upright, giving you a commanding view of the road. The rear seats are quite roomy, boasting more legroom than the Montgomery Icon, and room for three six-foot adults. The rear seat bottom opens to find an in seat Storage bin. The rear seat does fold to form a pass through to the trunk.


Performance wise, there is a wide choice of engines, all capable of running on E85 Ethanol (Excluding Diesel Engine). The CX, Grace and GL model grades come standard with the 1.4L 97HP 5800RPM , 87 Ft lbs of torque, and the CXS, CXE and Elegance come with the 1.7L 138HP 6000RPM, 120 ft lbs of torque engine. The Rallentando Model comes with a Tuned 2.2L 197HP 6200RPM, 166ft lbs of torque engine, and a LSD. To add the 1.5L 93HP TDV (Turbo Diesel) Diesel Engine capable of running fully on BioDiesel, (excluding Rallentando) add $960 to the price.


Expect a "Behaivor" model grade that appeals to tuners. It's a stripped model and gets power from a 1.5L 160HP I4, with a redline of 9200RPM.

Prices go as follow:

GL- $13,125
CX- $13,855
CXS- $14,125
CXE-$14,955
Grace-$15,250
Elegance-$16,125


Rallentando-$18,550









Also Included is the Cosmos C-segment SUV, which competes with the Sportage, RAV4, CRV and others.







Please comment. Greatly Appreciated.

Why do you Randomly capitalize words in the Middle of your Sentences?  It makes it Very Difficult To read your Statements.


Since this is purely fantasy, I'd suggest you also offer a full-electric drivetrain at least as an option across the board.


The styling is improved, but I still think the rear windows are too narrow to be saleable.  You're going to have a very grumpy customer base the first time they sideswipe a car in their blindspot, or back over their neighbor's kid because they couldn't see them through the gunsight-like rear window.

Would you buy an Electric Civic?

As most people who don't remember the '70s do, you've completely misinterpretted the function of that window.

It's not to see people behind you. What it is is an ingenious location for a mobile marijuana greenhouse. That nobody can see out of it means nobody can see into it.

Get it?
Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

Why does it looked jacked up?

93JC

Hydragas suspension. It had either been pressurized recently or is malfunctioning severely and the 'passenger' side wheels are stuffed in the wheel wells.

Looks like the former, in my opinion.

Still positively shocking an Allegro, perhaps THE single biggest piece of automotive shit ever built, is still in operating condition (by the looks of it). Even relative to other BL products the Allegro was considered a POS. That's saying a lot, coming from the company that made the Morris Marina and the Sterling 825/827.

Realistically one could name their entire product range from the mid-60s on. I just picked two of the worst, for brevity's sake. :lol:
