Update Speculation thread

They should regroup cars by continents instead of countries, for example the vivace/trograc polizia aren't used even though they would be much better than the autobello/bolide/scintilla for police stuff

 

Not minivan related but a bit of ETK speculation.

I opened up the game for the first time in months today and noticed the refreshed ETK's now have a "heritage" edition model.

I'm just curious if we'll see something inspiring / reflecting this heritage on the older ETK I-Series when it inevitably gets remastered.

 

It would be cool if it was french because french official car is what we're lacking the most in the game .


Heck , i don't know if i'm the only one to think that but the FCV/tograc is good 5min but then , it Can get annoying , especially with the design.



So , having (proper) french cars from before the 2000's would be awseome, and since the devs are adding a mini-van , it would be an oportunity because, again , it's Renault who invented the mini-van or, as it's called in France, the monospace. If it's a first or second generation , it will be a super vehicle to have .

 

Uh, this one came out like 20 years before Espace.

I don't know if I'm the only one, but I find it to be quite the opposite. It may not be the best performance car out there (on- and off-road), but it's versatile enough to be decent for everything in-between.

 

Soliad?

 

Isn't a mini-van supposed to be a mix between a wagon and a van (family van) ?


And the FCV personnaly doesen't feel french enough somehow . I think the true french cars are car made in France between 1950's and 2005-ish

 

The rally versions of the Vivace and the Hillclimb version are pretty good

 

Nissan prarie takes th cake on being the first tradition minvan

 

I consider this the first minivan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_minivans_(S)

 

its *younger than the prarie by a year but nvm thats not what this is about
--- Post updated ---
i thinl it will be hopefully japanese. Its not the first Japanese made car in beamng with very american design choices.

 

maybe the soccer mom van gets a hybrid system would be cool

 

Does it says the same thing on other site ?

 

I hope so.

 

I would love a luxury minivan from the early 2000s. Imagine it has the Bendover's engines.

Turbo V6 Power!

 

I'm still not sure what possessed me to do it, but I decided to categorise all of the vehicle suggestions from the last 940 posts on the Vehicle suggestions thread (from page 718 to 765), along with the entirety of @YellowRusty's "choose 9 vehicles" thread.
Of course, this isn't accurate to BeamNG's entire fanbase, as it mostly consists of a vocal minority, and my categories are somewhat arbitrarily delineated, but I hope with the sheer volume, it will give some useful insight.
In total, the most popular demographics here were:

Spoiler: Spoiler

10s-20s d/e-segment FF crossover: a staggering 31 requests
10s-20s b/c-segment crossover: 23
10s-20s a/b- hatch/sedan: 21
(perhaps no surprise my most vague categories were the largest)

90s/00s "fullsize" minivan: 17 (seems the devs are onto something)

20s us pickup: 15
70s us compact car: 15

90s Japanese (I6) GT coupe: 5 (I'm surprised this is so far down)
10s JDM premium minivan: 5

I'll cut the list off at 5 because it massively broadens after this, I don't think anything further is usefully indicative of wider opinions.

 

You're actually my favorite person right now; I was thinking of doing this and dreading the idea lol

 

if theres one thing that scares me the most, would be a truck chasing me and keeping up with me or coming out of a corner and scattering my vehicle into oblivion. i hope a dev finds this message

 

I can imagine a late 90s/early 2000s Bruckell minivan with updated LeGran/Wendover V6 engines (like, the 3.3 making around 160 hp and the 3.8 making around 190 hp without supercharger, for example). Or even a Cherrier minivan, with some inline-four/V6 engines (just like the Renault Espace had around those years).

 

Behold

Edit: It's even prewar! Two birds, one stone and all that. Just not a production model, sadly.
