Hi freeman,
The AI already know what to build and already simulate what "customers" decide which engine and gearbox they want. When you launch a different trim (so different engine or gearbox) the AI increase the sales of the new model and slightly decrease the sales of the previous, let's assume due to canniblisation (at least this is what i have noticed). With my suggestion you will have the same increment of sales consoldiated under one model name
Example
Time N:
Model X (trim A) sales at N time: 100
Time N+1 (with today situation):
Model X (trim A) sales at N+1: 80
Model X (trim B) sales at N+1: 40
with my suggestion you will have
Time N+1:
Model X sales at N+1: 120 - with a +20% volumes because you start selling the same car with a diesel engine, let's hypotize.
The breakdown of sales per model can be the next step. =))
