Merry Christmas for those who celebrate it, happy Hanukkah for those who celebrate that, and those who celebrate something else, hope it was great!
Recently, Discord began censoring the "wixsite.com" in our website and post links, meaning we'll be using a URL shortener now.
This is the last Industry Digest of the year, so let's end on a high note. We already gave you two SPECIAL REPORTs in a row (a first for us here) and we got a few more to start off 2022!
Enjoy the season, and let's get into the news!
What We Missed
Industry Digest 19 came out in late November, meaning we're behind by an entire month. So, to catch up, we'll put quick summaries of the most important things we missed (since writing about each and everyone one would be cruel, to you, and to our writer).
Birthdays
CEO Paraxium announced that on December 1st, Krypton Motors was turning 7 years old.
On December 18th, Unity Motors turned 1 years old
Lyx turned one years a WHILE ago
Catalyst_0 has killed or nearly closed every brand he's had at least once except for Ito Architecture.
2021 is nearly over. Let's hope 2022 doesn't get a Netflix comedy movie about how bad it was like the first two.
Marvino Under New Owner
Marvino nearly closed it's doors, until Rapide CEO girl6143 took control, then relinquished it to MS Motor Works CEO msdattcv, who plans to make the Italian company a tuning brand alongside making cars.
Marvino Leaves WAG
Marvino left Windsor Automotive group for private reasons out of the blue.
EUA is back
Espila Unity Automotive Group is back together after months being seperated and EUA being EVA (Espila Venus Automotive)
(1998 Cars) Setchi Announced a Partnership with Hamdan
This basically means the two now worked together back in 1998, so doesn't really affect anything in the now right now.
Untergelrich Update
New town, new cars, who dis? Changelog linked below!

2022 NVNA Acesera E Unveiled
The long awaited 2022 NVNA Acesera has just been unveiled. Featuring a familiar yet different design to the 2021 Acesera, the new model will be bringing more minor changes than the 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021 models (did they make a 2020 Acesera?)
Anyway, the car will be featuring four trims: Regular, Electric, NVNAsport, and an interesting C trim, which "C" standing for Chroma. Earlier, NVNA offcially joined Chroma's Constructor's League alongside the likes of Zanic, Lagopus, and even us CarBlox with their Acesera GTZ.
The newest Acesera is available in Pacifico 2 via buying one of the car packs in game. A full model release is confirmed, but the date isn't determined.
NVNAMaps Anyone?
Before we got the Acesera (6 hours prior due to the slowmode), NVNA CEO Axvnturador gave everyone a glimpse into the future of NVNA vehicles: navigation. This means NVNA will be stepping up to the plate alongside Colt Motors and SEGment's Electility who are working on a GPS.
While Colt (and likely Electility) are looking to make them universal (working by just plopping your car down in a game), NVNA says "Navigation will be planned in very few games, if Navigation is feasible to include." meaning only select games will be getting the GPS system.
We'll keep you updated on what might be dubbed by CarBlox "The Map Race" where companies go into the deep end and push ROBLOX's technology to it's limits trying to create a mini map so you don't have to spam "Where r u" in chat anymore when you get lost looking for the minute hamlet of Untergelrich in LumiusRBLX's Untergelrich map (which we'll get back to).
Colt Okami Confirmed 2022? Possibly...
The one car that has been getting hyped over for months finally has a release date? Yes, but actually no. Ono_Three, CEO of Colt Motors announced the car will be coming after 12/30/21 (December 30th, 2021). This confirmed that either it will come out on 12/31/21, as in New Year's Eve OR, more probable, it'll be releasing in 2022, sometime. It's mostly all up in the air, and Colt continues to keep it's lips zipped on the Okami, so know it's probably sometime soon, but if you want to eat some grains of salt, don't expect it to launch at midnight on the last 24 hours of the year.
Though, Colt has been known to shatter expectations, so both you (and we) should keep out eyes peeled.
Origalas Arrive!
Finally, after months of waiting, patiently, UniQ Origala pre-orders are going out. Not only did this writer get his pre-order for the Polish coupe, but others are bound to as well (or already had one, like 4rotr).
"The UniQ Origala will continue with it's current design and pre-orders are expected to deliver this week." to quote CEO v3terann. With the Origala out, that's sure one gift you won't forget.
Razzo Dazzle Once Again
Some may recall an article CarBlox posted titled "Razzle Dazzle No More" where it goes over Razzo and it's woes. Well, fast forward to today and you'll realize that post feels ever more outdated.
With a legacy to fulfill and a story that's not over, Razzo, now headed by carmaster93 (MrBlimbo), has dropped a teaser of the upcoming Tiro.
With this new post, we could be seeing the full unveiling of a car that's been in development in a long time. Once again, I ask you to be respectful of Sergio's passing (and if you don't know what I'm talking about, the Related Posts will link you to what we wrote on his passing), which will give you some insight).
CarBlox will continue to keep you updated on further developments.
Poseidon Vehicle Drop
New Poseidons for all! Featuring in the 2022 all-electric Kentwood, Kentwood Wagon, and TR-1Z 1T pickup is the company's cCore OS, or in other words, the company's first infotainment system.
While at the moment limited, it's in version 1.0, so it has time to evolve from a Pichu to a Raichu in no time! Also the truck definitely needs a better name it's insufferable to type out. Use the buttons to get your choice below!
Zuntuni - For the People
Meet Windsor Automotive Group's newest member company: Zuntuni. The Japanese company, announced using a "could be better" graphic poster (in typical WAG fashion to make posters for new companies), is a company CarBlox's Catalyst_0 met the CEO of PRIOR to it joining WAG.
He was approached by the CEO a few months ago, and took a few pictures of Zuntuni's debut car: the JI100. It's a wagon, it's a SUV, it's a Solara, or a Ceinder! Whatever you may think, the brand came up interestingly seeing as it grew outside the Autoworks bubble.
Ironically, Marvino left shortly after the new brand joined. The brand will join Rapide, who is working on multiple models of their own and the other brands, which aside from Windsor and Rapide, have remained extremely silent.
Also LF was kicked from the group over Gooey being, well, Gooey. The Zuntuni JI100 has no public release date (that this writer can remember). The CEO is not in Autoworks either, making WAG have two <13-year-olds in it's ranks.
Conclusion
Once again, sorry it's late by two days (in MDT, I'm finishing at 2:xx on December 27th. I wish I could have gotten it on Christmas, but I got busy. Happy holidays, and to be early for once: Happy New Year (unless you celebrate Chinese New Year, that was back on February 12th).
That Acesera looks so aggressive.
Please, refrain from making inappropriate comments on CarBlox's website.
Anyways thanks for having someone to test their cars in my game, I'd feel more better when I saw my friends playing with me and not like fights and such.
It's funny to see how people acts.
