What a great way to say sayonara to the first year (technically 9 months) of ro-automotive coverage than with a recap! This list contains:
Biggest Trends of 2021
Sports Utility Vehicles
When 2021 rolled in, SUVs did too. Everyone had some sort of interest in making an SUV, be it a crossover, coupe, sport, or full sized hauler.
One of the most sold cars, the Elektrisk Polaris, is a crossover, and with even more big releases such as the Colt Okami and the final version of the APEX Elara (spiritual successor to the Oaken Tehama), alongside Unity and Venus making their own SUVs.
While SUVs in real life are quite mundane, with what we've seen from the ro-automotive community, sports utility vehicles are in. The community made one of the most frustrating trends in the IRL car industry something to be excited for.
We expect the SUV trend to continue as more test their skills with the bigger SUVs. With the impending launch of the Okami (of course, the date is NOT confirmed, do not think otherwise), SUVs will be more recognized.
Economy Vehicles
While we got plenty of million dollar hypercars like the 4 million dollar Electility FX, we got a ton of economy vehicles, mostly due to the CFC07 platform being slightly overused.
From the Atai Tanoshi and the Lastin Sportback to the Sonya Plasmas and Flora Crosspower Es of the world, making a car that is not only mainstream, but unique, creative and for many vehicles, on the older model years is a challenge many took head on, to varying degrees of success.
With what we expect head in 2022 with more economy cars, giving unique takes on what's important in a budget car. The SUV trend will likely bind with this trend with sub-compact SUVs like the Solara Trival and Marvino Voyage coming out. We have the hunch the trend to expand to more vehicle segments and more companies.
Conclusion
I wanted to add more to this, but I'm leaving for a New Year's function any minute now (as of writing this in the MDT timezone at nearly 10 PM). I had to cut out a ton of things I had planned for this.
Happy New Year's to everyone and thank you so much for 9 months of reading CarBlox! Can't wait to join you all in 2022!
Also special thanks to girl6143 for this CarBlox-version of this amazing truck!
