About this creation
Licence Plate: Calisota 088-110

The M-series M85 sedan is new for 2007. It slots below the L20 in luxury, and size. I consider this to also be a full-size, but a sporty one.
This oddly styled sedan is loosely based on Chrysler's LH platform, mainly the Dodge Intrepid. It uses Alpha Motors' Quattre Drive AWD system coupled with a 5-speed automatic and a 2.9i V6. Fog lights: standard. The front grille is the same as on the L2. Three cars have included this grille: L20, M85, (2007) M90. If you look closely enough, you will see that it is a waterfall grille (if you haven't noticed, that is a constant for AM). The interior is a nicely detailed and luxurious, however I have run out of hinges for the instrument panel, and am unable to tilt the steering wheel (for now.
The rear end features angular lights that look sort of Mitsubishi-ish. It includes a rear spoiler. The entire rear end (including the seat backs, but not cushions) was built identically to that of the L20. At least the frame. I later made some improvements (see below). The tailpipes are large, and I have now updated the L20's to match.
I have recently acquired 15 white 30.4x14 wheel/tires and have used them on the updated L20 as well as this model. Another interesting thing is the door handles...I thought they would look nice when body-coulored. The doors use my 'state-of-the-art' hingless opening system, and open realistically due to the large mirrors.

As usual, everything opens. You can see the V6. The hood is interestingly narrow.

I have taken out the large bar supporting the hinge and replaced it with a 3x2 plate coming from behind the seat-backs. This increased voume. I also used regular slopes intead of 10 2x1s for the wheel wells.

You can see how it is based on the Intrepid. The wedge shape. The short, rounded nose.
