Corporate Sedan, TL8

Designed to look as much like the family sedan as possible so as not to stand out, this variant is used by megacorps to tranport important low- to mid-level employees or run cargo minor errands. Normally, the vehicle carries a driver, security officer and 1-2 other employees. In some jurisdictions, they are armed with a minor 'tail-chaser' weapon (usually a concealed 7mmC machine gun) to discourage pursuit.
