    You know, this recent update got me thinking about what's next for the Miramar. I'm wondering if we might soon see:

    A Rally Configuration:



    We've had rally suspension in-game for quite some time, and now we find that rally lights have made their way in-game. Right now, the Miramar is one of the few cars, especially among the older cars, without some form of off-road/dirt track/pro rally configuration.

    Bodykit / Stance Configurations:



    It just sort of seems inevitable that the Miramar will get some more customization options, and more modern styles seem quite likely. Fender flares and splitters are probably going to be present on stanced and non-stanced versions of the Miramar.

    Left-Hand-Drive / USDM Configurations:



    We've seen a lot of cars recently receive mirrored controls and interiors to reflect differing markets; and I think the Miramar is a strong contender for the job, given that it's both a vehicle right from the dawn of Japanese auto exports, and the only vehicle in the game that's currently exclusively right-hand-drive.

    A Wagon Bodystyle:



    We don't currently have a small wagon in the game - the Miramar might provide an entry point for that archetype.


    A Truck Bodystyle:

    Admittedly more of a stretch, but it wasn't uncommon for Japanese automakers of the period to turn their sedans into light trucks. Maybe the same will prove true for the Miramar?

    Honestly, would be nice.
    Seeing what they did with the Ibishu BX, all of this might be quite possible.

    I really want some options like a turbo, some different body styles and some more visual customization. It's a lovely car as-is but it's very limited in comparison to the rest of the roster.

    The Miramar strongly reminds me of the Datsun Bluebird and other Japanese sedans of its era.
    Still, it would be cool to see more body styles for it once it gets remastered; ute, convertible, coupe, station wagon, and panel van.

    I'm almost certainly not the first person to notice this, but why does the Miramar have Firebird gauges?

    I mean...it's not entirely unreasonable for the Miramar to have US-style gauges, considering what Japanese automakers were doing from the late-'50s to the early-'70s (first-gen Skyline, Colt Galant GTO):

    How about a remaster alongside the sunburst in 0.35?

    The teaser for the new rally mod in v.35 features a Miramar, and there is no Rally Miramar. At least, that means we get a new config, maybe even a refresh

    I think we'll just have the new rallye config from the Showreel.

    I’m betting that the Miramar gets a refresh or remaster with 0.36, or it gets the Piccolina treatment and gets a bunch of small updates over the course of the year.

    new engine textures look good, the jbeam changes have made the car feel way more planted than I remember it being and the rally config is just awesome, hope the car gets a proper going over soon.
