Lore whatevers:
In 1979, the Ilaris Motor corporation started work on a fun-to-drive road car, with the same platform as the Vageh LX. Like the Vageh, it was originally intended to have a longitudinally mounted inline-5, driving the rear wheels. In 1980, however, the Alagnomar government passed a regulation banning RWD vehicles from driving on the twisty, poorly maintained mountain roads and highways, due to their nature to spin when commanded by an inexperienced driver. This sent the engineers back to the drawing board, retooling the car for a transverse front-wheel-drive setup, with an inline-4. Fortunately, the engine department had developed an all-new, fuel-injected, 1.5L four-banger, waiting for an application. It was decided that it was good enough for production, after many tweaks to get the same fun out of a front-wheel-drive chassis.
The peppy engine, good practicality, decent fuel economy and RWD-like handling made it popular with those who wanted a fun daily-driver, for a good price point. It sold very well in its class, and were often modded for performance, with the stock four-banger being able to take significant abuse from turbo-ing.
