Competitors: Morgan, Mitsuoka.

Basically, we build retro-designed, American luxury cars, a market abandoned when Ford let Lincoln wither on the vine and Cadillac decided they needed to get in their stupid pissing match with the Germans that’s ruined the brand, instead of building all the beautiful concepts they’ve churned out.

The cars are exquisite, elegant, and extremely nice places to be inside of. Floaty suspension, vast interior, minimal tech, mostly focused on comfort. No annoying electronic nannies, no touch-screens, high-end audio system.

Enough power to cruise all day at highway speeds, zero care how fast it can go around the Nürburgring, only that we arrive in style and look amazing doing it.

Model Lineup:

Compact 4-Door Sedan: R4

Compact 4-Door Sedan: R4 EV

Compact 4-Door Hatchback: R3

Compact 4-Door Hatchback: R3 EV

Compact CUV (5 seater only): R5 PHEV

2 Seater Convertible (Soft Top): R0

2 Seater Convertible (Soft Top): R0 PHEV

The R3 and R4 would be the same car with different bodystyles, the only engine is a 1.2l turbo and a manual or cvt option. The EV version would be a competitor for the Nissan Leaf with a 120 mile range and will be offered for car sharing programs and lease for uber/cab drivers. Size would be similar to a Golf/Jetta.

The R5 would have the same engine as the R3/R4 at the front and an electric motor powering the rear wheels in the PHEV version (30 miles EV range).

The R0 would get the same drivetrain as the R5 PHEV, making it the first PHEV two seater convertible. And a highly tuned 1.2t for the normal variant.

My brand, Jetstream, has one goal: the most comfortable car in the world. Ever. Also has to be super nice to look at. Basically a revival of the personal luxury car because ‘70s.

Models:

Full size 2-door coupe and sedan, both coming only in hybrid form because torque=luxury. Maybe they could bring back the inline-8 if we really wanted to go nuts for smoothness, but otherwise probably a straight 6 with a couple small turbos.

Competitors: Mercedes (specifically S-Class Coupe) and Rolls (specifically the Wraith).

Jetstreams would be basically designed as a modern combination of a Lincoln Mark V and a Citroen SM, possibly my two favorite cars of all time.

They would only have one suspension option - hydropneumatic, otherwise known as the greatest innovation in comfort since pillow-top mattresses, and front bench seats that you sink into like a couch (and can be had in velour, again because ‘70s). In terms of tech, I only gave it a 5 because it would have everything expected on the market today plus basic self-driving capability, but not really for around town. It’s supposed to be relaxing, not boring. Also because I wanted as many points as possible for comfort.
