    Cars that should be in APB but aren't

    Post  Domino on Tue Jun 08, 2010 4:56 pm

    Although this thread exists on the Evolved forums, it's bloated and spammy. I thought we could start a discussion on the cars we would like to see in-game, here. I'll begin:

    2001 Mercedes-Benz SL (Or any convertible, jagged roadster)
    2005 Scion xB (Great for ads and large designs)
    2005 Cadillac CTS (A modern, four-door sedan other than the one in-game currently)
    2010 Mitsubishi Eclipse (We have bubble-shaped sports cars, but there is always room for more)

    1995 Eagle Talon / Mitsubishi Eclipse (My current car)
    2006 Jaguar XK (Convertible would be sublime)
    1995 Mazda RX-7
    1977 Triumph TR6 or 1970 MG MGB (Once again, would be a great option to have the top down)
    1965 Lincoln Continental (Though, the boat we have in-game now is pretty close)
    1960(-ish) Volkswagen Beetle
    1985 Mercedes-Benz W114

    It would be nice to see, at least for myself, a selection of almost luxury saloons with a subtlety of style and confidence of performance from an articulately substantial outfitting. The imagination of such a vehicle indicating toward not often finding itself in a situation where such would be required - rather, reserved for when such moments of exceptional speed and handling would be adequately preferable.

    A combination and individualisation of:
    Mercedes Benz Brabus E Class,
    Lexus 460H,
    Chrysler 300C Continental.

    However, I would also be very much looking forward to being able to explore, further, the city of San Paro outwith perhaps any form of transportation - those locations and places less-visible, more accessible and entirely rewarding in their discovery; able to be experienced much more richly from the subjective perspective of pedestrianisation.

    Rolls-Royce Phantom
    Audi A8 TDi V8
    Ascari A10
    And the ultimate car - Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2 Valentino Balboni - Ditch the 4-wheel system, paddle shift, and return to a proper gear-box.

    If you're a horrible driver, or for some sort of 'reward'... Reliant Robin

    I'm also very surprised, Ele, that you picked the RX-7 ('95) vs. the modern class sport-car RX-8 for boosted power/handling.

    Personally, and call me weird if you want, but I could do without the hypercars. It kinda hurts suspension of disbelief a bit... you know, "oh look, that Enforcer gang just rolled up in a tenth of the world's total production of Veyrons... right..."

    Personally, I'd like more variety in some of the "classes" of things. The Cisco strikes me as vaguely Audi TTish even though it's shaped completely wrong for that... so let's see some other things of that general scale. Boxster, 350Z, RX-8, stuff like that. Similarily, the Bishada is pretty clearly a standin for the Mk4 Supra... I mean, look at it. So other things of its class. More luxury cars too; CTS-V was mentioned, you can fill in others I suppose.

    Also, I have to imagine things like breakdowns with damage, or maybe by some random chance. Say, the FD RX-7 standin is a bit more agile and faster than the other things in its class, but there's a random chance whenever you start it that the turbo system won't work until you fix it, cutting the speed in half. Or the British sports car standins, there's a chance that they won't start right away. Part of me has to be really amused at the idea of the game requiring people to tap the "accelerate" key to pump the gas to get some of the older cars started. Twisted Evil

    Actually, that'd be great scope for new upgrades... engine changes of various sorts that hurt reliability. Say you take your Vegas G20 and add an "engine work" upgrade; represents new heads, intake manifold, carb, lumpier cam, etc etc etc. So now it goes faster and accelerates harder, but it's harder to start, and sometimes the engine dies when sitting still idling.

    I like the normal cars as well as the super cars. To that regard, here are some other cars that need to be added:

    Plymouth Super Bird
    Plymouth GTO
    Hemi Cuda
    Chevrolete Camaro (1969 - 1973)
    Chevy Nova
    Mazda 3
    Nissan Sentra
    Toyota Corolla
    Toyota AE86
    BMW 1 Series (without the factory defect that caused it to be recalled)
    Buick Century
    Lincoln Continental
    Cadillac STS and CTS (if there was a CTS style car in this game I would sell all the other cars I have and only drive that one)

    Hello Hemi Cuda. I love you so.
    Rob Halford from Judas Priest drives a CTS, millions of dollars and he chooses to drive a CTS. Credibility to the car right there.

    Remind me to post a few links, but the CTS-V has to date the single fastest lap on the Nurnberg Race Ring for a four door sedan. It has a magnetic suspension design in there that allows it to handle turns like a Le Mans rally car. That thing is a bad ass car for $80,000.
