Update Speculation thread

its a group b covet.


but lets think about all the covet memories, even form back when beamng was not even released to the public

 

I only mentioned the CVT since there's only one config in the entire game that has a CVT. We really need more.

I honestly am rather disappointed we didn't get an AWD 5-door liftback sleeper Pessima to compete with the LeGran. That would've been a really cool and semi-quirky pair.

As for the diesels, I've made a habit of saying this and I'm still going to: it is really strange that the only passenger car diesels we have are modern Euro... The Pessima is just one of many cars in game that really should have that option.

 

Hey guys... no one has said this clearly yet so I figured I'd just say it, Civic sedan would be Covet sedan, Accord is Pessima...

 

could this be a tail light? if you look closely in the middle pic theres a little line thats green a has blue lines around it (top) and it different then the grid lines (bottom)

 

I think it's just obstructed by the chonky rear bumper

 

yea could be!! but what is that line i wonder?

 

Blender center-line I think, sorry to pop the speculation bubble:

 

oh your probably right! im hoping for a covet sedan and a wagon config

 

what?

iirc that is a lower segment a la corolla/civic instead of camry/accord

the laurel is a luxury sedan, not a family car

 

The covet is in the corolla/civic area... but otherwise you're right

 

Manfred was talking about the Pessima though, right?

 

You're right, I misread it... I think...

 

Typos happen. Not the first time, not the last. We all know what I meant. Moving on.

It's just a list of contemporary Japanese vehicles which were primarily small/midsized FWD sedans* to show that the Pessima really should have gotten more content. Many of those I listed (plus the Honda Accord, which I forgot about) have a 5 door option, optional AWD, and a diesel.

*The Laurel was RWD but it is still a contemporary midsized sedan with optional diesel and AWD, 2/3 of the things I was trying to make a point about

 

Oh absolutely, though recently the quality of vehicle refreshes has grown tenfold, with the bolide especially getting a ton of variations, with multiple generations of bodywork, popup and sealed beam headlights, multiple widebody kits, targa and hardtop configurations, and fully custom suspension for race variants. I

Actually, the Honda Accord (1986-1989, which was based on the civic platform of the era) had digiguages

 

Oh no… I have this gnawing feeling in my gut…. It’s coming- no, it can’t be. Or can it? No, nononono, it’s not possible… hehe. It’s not possible… right? oh no, this feeling isn’t going away… no… I can’t accept it… but I fear it’s close… I fear it’s coming



the “update tomorrow” phase of this thread.

There is no /s about it, I'm afraid.

 

Digital gauges are amazing! I can't have enough of them, hahaha.

 

that teaser car definitely looks pretty aggressive, definitely looking forward to driving it when it comes out. if it is the covet it feels like they lengthened the rear overhang by a decent margin though. if it is a group b variant covet though and they decide they need to push the production year back to make it fit the time group b was around, the basic covet would have probably the most sophisticated suspension system compared to its irl counterparts, at the time, who were basically all using macpherson struts in the front, and twist beam or macpherson struts with trailing links in the rear; those would probably be more representative of more hatchbacks at the time. for most people its not immersion breaking so i doubt they'd change the covet's current arrangement but it might be some food for thought

 

The Covet's model years is only 1 year off of historical group B. There's plenty of IRL cars that were designed but too late for group B, so I wouldn't call it a deal breaker.

Personally I think it would be hilarious if they went the route of the 222D and make a 1987 group B Covet with a single production unit which is the most expensive car in game

 

The Toyota counterpart of the Pessima would be the Camry; the Corolla is a compact sedan while the Pessima is a midsize sedan
