Ono_Three's Back
After over 6 months of silence, Ono_Three, owner of Colt Motors, rejoined the Autoworks community and uploaded a video to YouTube showcasing in-development automobiles, including what can be assumed to be a new Riolu sedan, a sports coupe, and an unnamed pickup truck.
Ono went on in the video's description about a primary factor that led to the hiatus, saying:
"It seems as though life has became a more important priority as of recently, which has left me no time to work on any Colt vehicles. For now, Colt will be put on the back burner and development on current and future cars will be significantly slowed down. Again, as stated in a now deleted announcement video, thank you very much for any and all of the support displayed for Colt. (It means a whole lot to me) With all that being said, Happy Birthday Colt."
This writer can especially relate to this. Happy Birthday Colt, take care of yourself people. Remember life comes first.
Amaterasu Gears Up for a Comeback
Amaterasu's looking to rise from the grave. Poseidon Gruppe broke a multi-month silence on January 9th, announcing the brand's come back.

Amaterasu currently has only the AEO hatchback, released in 2020 for the 2021 model year, and the Gruppe has not stated exact plans yet. Alongside the planned return of Amaterasu, Poseidon Gruppe also revealing the possibility of a rebrand to rxGruppe, to simplify the naming scheme due the Poseidon Motors existing as a subsidiary of Poseidon Gruppe, which has confused some over who is what.

The Voyage Is Just Beginning
On January 17, Marvino Automobili owner Catalyst_0 announced the discontinuation of the iconic 2022 Marvino Voyage, built by Atai owner Adinsapo, which was released originally in late 2021 for the 2022 model year as a direct successor to the original 2021 model. Marvino has already shown the public the design of the 2023 Voyage, which introduces a completely new design language that is expected to be shared with other Marvinoes coming in the near future.
"The 2022 Marvino Voyage completely changed the fate of Marvino, and if it weren't for it, Marvino would unlikely be here right now. A special thanks to Adinsapo for facelifting the 2022 model for it's launch in 2021. Today, after a two month delay and 85 model sales, the 2022 Marvino Voyage will be taken off sale from the marketplace as the new model get's closer and closer to completion (no official release dates here folks). I thank you for enjoying this car, and propelling this car, it was truly special."
The brand also discontinued the lesser known and lesser well liked Marvino Merryweather roadster on the same day, who was released silently due to the production issues and hiatuses the coupe went through. The Italian automaker also has a 2023 model planned for the Merryweather.
