I know this has been brought before, but I think it would be great if the Automobile product class was expanded.
Currently the player or AI can either build cars or motorcycles to sell. I think this should be expanded to include two new products : Luxury/Sport Cars and Hybrid Cars.
Make the Hybrid Car similar to the Smart Phone; have the player use R&D to invent this new product and as a result the demand for Cars diminishes similar to the game mechanic used on phones.
Perhaps the hybrid car can be invited based on the invention of a new Engine. Where this new engine takes the place of the existing engine in the assembly input. This new engine could be built from steel and electronic components.
For a new luxury/Sport Car; create a new Car Body that requires the use of Leather instead of plastic in the assembly of the car body.
I would think the necessity rating of the Car should be increased from 10% to 20% and have the necessity of the luxury car to be say 10 to 5.
Thus in total 4 new products would be created Hybrid Car, Luxury Car, Hybrid Engine, and Luxury Car Body.
All of this would make the Automotive class more interesting and compelling.
Lastly could a new Graphic be used for the car that is more current and up to date.
