I'll make the rules as easy as possible this time.
This chain won't be unlimited but it will last for a short period.

I'll start with a car (A).
The following car (B) can be connected with this form only: car B is more (or less) _____ than car A.
The next one (C): car C is more (or less) ____ than car B.
and so on.
You can extend the link to the manufacturer (manufacturer A has been active longer than manufacturer B), to a component of the car (tires of car A are wider than B's), to a person connected to that car (pilot driving car A is younger than car B's pilot) etc, etc.
Only objective comparisons. (faster, slower, higher, lower, expensive, reliable...etc)
You can't use twice the same adjective.
1 or more points for the final car, according to the originality of the connection.
As usual the firsts rounds are the easy ones so...hurry up!

We already had:
slower
smaller
lower - taller
newer model
earlier design
more wheels
more fins
smaller wheels
more - few steering wheels
more -less doors

More power strokes per crankshaft journal revolution

fewer rings
bigger grille
smaller loadcapacity
larger sliding roof
larger air intakes
larger C-posts
more fruit flavours
less roof area
less hood louvers
more door posts that the hinges are attached to
less nuts to undo to change a wheel
higher production
longer ladder
smaller turning circle
more back entrances
wider tyres
less chrome
less molded plastic
smaller trunk
more sheetmetal
more chrome characters to say the same thing
less letters to write an even higher number
less succesfull experiment
more curved glass windows

Let's begin with:
