Update Speculation thread

Okay so mass speculation coming up...

At the moment we have 27 official vehicles across 11 brands and they are:
Autobello: Piccolina
Bruckell: LeGran, Moonhawk
Burnside: Special
*Cherrier: FCV (Vivace and Tograc)
Civetta: Bolide
ETK: 800 Series, I-Series, K-Series
Gavril: Barstow, Bluebuck, D-Series, Grand Marshal, H-Series, Roamer, T-Series
Hirochi: SBR4, Sunburst
Ibishu: 200BX, Covet, Hopper, Miramar, New Pessima, Old Pessima, Pigeon
**Soliad: Wendover
Wentward: DT40L
*Differently named, listed as one vehicle
**Soliad Wendover not released

These brands are from the following countries:
France: Cherrier
Germany: ETK
Italy: Autobello, Civetta
Japan: Hirochi, Ibishu
USA: Bruckell, Burnside, Gavril, Soliad, Wentward

Most brand vehicles: Gavril, Ibishu
Least brand vehicles: Autobello, Burnside, Cherrier, Civetta, Soliad, Wentward
Most nation vehicles: USA
Least nation vehicles: France
Most brands in nation: USA
Least brands in nation: France, Germany

Using this data we know that France, Germany, and Italy have the least content.
-France is represented by the Cherrier FCV, which by its Polizia and Gendarmerie configs mean that it is used by French and Italian police forces. However, there is no official map sent in France.
-Germany is represented by the ETK 800, I, and K. The 800 has a Polizei config, which is used by the German police.
-Italy is represented by the Autobello Piccolina and Civetta Bolide. The Piccolina has a Carabinieri config used by Italian police, and the Bolide has a Polizia config.

Therefore
-France is the overall least represented nation, due to the FCV's only recent addition. But due to it and the Sunburst's Gendarmerie configs, a French map could be possible in the future.
-Germany has both one brand, and one map, both of which are ETK. An ETK DEC remaster is likely, as the map is very underdeveloped and is mainly used for time trials and a campaign. The 800 and I-Series are very good, the K-Series, however, feels very rushed due to its lack of ttSport and Diesel parts. A rework of the ETK nomenclature is a longstanding desire of mine. As ETK is the only brand for Germany, another brand could be established.
-Italy has one map and two vehicles, and are very good at representing Italian automobiles, and the eponymous Italy map is of a high standard.

TL;DR: Germany is the least represented map, and a remaster of the Driver Education Centre is likely, a new brand/vehicle is possible after the Wendover release.

 

Ok so hol' up now you say France is the least represented right, has everyone forgot about that random big island in the middle of the pacific and indian oceans. So France has one car, how many cars do we have? despite have a once lucrative car business. I think their pretty well represent compared to us

 

Crikey.

Would be cool, unlikely.

 

gogo me gavril kangaroo

 

NO ! Gavril BAD ! gogo me Bruckell Wombat !

 

I mean, maybe like a 70s Australian kangaroomobile would fill a small niche but now Australian cars have devolved into rebadged GMs and a rebadged opel-GM thing of hell

 

gogo me aussie moonhawk ute

 

that opel clusterfuck being the Buick Regal/ Holden Astra / Opel (something)

 

Yeah it came to the point where the holden utes were the only truly unique ones.

But some type of 70s small Australian coupe or ute would be pretty nice, not sure how likely it is though. Then again they did kinda surprise us with a French car last time so who knows.

 

actually not to sink my own boat but every single Holden except for the HQ-HZ is just a rebadged, re-engineered Opel. And "just a small niche" are you kidding me ? we were absolutely huge in the '60s '70s and '80s, probably the second biggest next to the American automobile business, not to mention we also had the "big three" as Chrysler, Ford and GM, the Americans knew we where just to big a market to be ignored so they hunkered down and damn well made billions from this land making cars the world has never seen the likes of. I believe we are bigger than just a "niche"

Edit:
Also our fullsizes are just midsizes and our midsizes are small cars, we never had big cars except for imports

 

An Australian market car would be nice to have in game. I really can't think of anything that hasn't been said already in the history of the BeamNG community so I won't say much else, I just kinda wanted to show more support for such an idea than the agree button can offer.

 

With heavy modifications for the Australasian market. of course.



I wonder if the H series would end up using this front end at some point (with some modifications). Looks better than the one the H Series uses currently tbh.

 

I don't mean to be rude, but I've been around the US and watched Top Gear UK practically religiously, but I cannot remember a single Aussie car besides two Top Gear episodes... (one of which talked about the Holden UTE and the other was a competition against "∩∀ ɹɐǝƃ do┴")

 

Unless you live in Australasia you wouldn't remember many.


FYI the 1990's Diamante wagons were built in Australia (Tonsley Park) and those were sold in the US.

 

The last Pontiac GTOs were Monaro's, but the americans didn't like that we were giving them cars so they stopped that. Also the reason you never heard about our cars is because we never exported them, we did however export to South Africa until the early '70s but thats it

 

Okay, thank you... my initial reaction was "why would they make cars that were sold in such a small market? wouldn't that be kind of like making Brazilian cars?" but wanted to make sure I wasn't completely off my rocker about the market part

 

We did the p6 LTD with a 351. OT I think update will drop maybe soon. I dont think we will see the new car this update

 

God we made so many cars didn't we, wheres Bob Hawke when you need him

 

aussie spec rhd yank cars would be very nice

 

to be honest though, there's not many of them. you might be able to pass the burnside off as a "luxury" car or a ute conversion, and the bluebuck similarly as a luxury car, like an FC fairlane. The only other one which possibly could would be the D-series, though limited to pre facelift and d25/35/45 trims.
The grand marshal and Barstow don't really make sense, nor do any of the bruckell family really. maybe the roamer, if they want to go for some extreme rebadging outliers.
