Monega Autos

Monega (mon-EGG-uh; French-Monteregian pronunciation: mow-neh-GAH), officially Monega Autos, is Monteregian car brand that is the leader of Monega Vehicles (MOVE) automotive group.

Monega was created in 1953 N.C.E as Aries Autos, right after the Great American Depression. It was founded by a group of businessmen who were tired of having to drive imported cars as there were no car factories in Monteregis. This automotive company gained much popularity in Monteregis after their second car came out: the Aries Spectrum, a large family car presented at the 1955 Havenecht Auto Show and commercialised in November 1955. It quickly gained popularity over the next few months in not only Monteregis but most of North America. In 1959 it was slightly face lifted which brought even more buyers. In total, the Aries Spectrum of 1955-2015 sold over 1.5 million models.

The revolutionary Streed of 1979 and Novis of 1983 were also best sellers, and in 1986 Aries officially imported their first cars to Europe. As the market there preferred larger cars, the Spectrum and the Streed were mostly imported as well as a brand new car just for the European market: the X-CS100. Aries quickly became competent enough to rival large companies like the Venezuelan VIVA and the French Avantis. However, Aries started working with both companies and built factories in La Rochelle, France, and Maracaibo, Venezuela. In 1993, Aries also constructed a factory in Canton, ROC.
