Update Speculation thread

Auto(mation)Beam(NG) -> AutoBeam -> AB

 

Amazingly slow and Boring

 

A is probably from Automobili (cars), and B, maybe, from some city name (Bologna?).

 

It could also be the founder's name, like Benedetto.

 

A B Car Duh Everyone
ABCDE

 

(deleted lol)

 

Alfa Bomeo

 

"B" in the name could be for Beta, manufacturer of the only other italian-made auto part in game, the Beta Quebecois rims, which look exactly like classic Alfa (Romeo) Montreal alloys.

 

The great question is: Will Italy have a ton of speed cameras? All I remember about driving in Italy are the cameras.

 

Most are not even functional...

Working ones are usually hidden very well.

 

Something like Automobili Beta (or whatever it's called in Italian)?

 

I wonder if the Italy map is gonna have a vineyard...

 

Yes

 

I was about to post this.

 

Neat! Well, that crosses out one question now.

 

That's what I thought.

Logo also kinda reminded me of the early Autobianchi logo, which, incidentally, was an encircled "AB" logotype as well.

 

It would be a huge missed opportunity if they didn't.

I'd be shocked if it didn't have a rally version, given the Fiat 600's success in rallying.

 

I'd be disappointed if the new car doesn't get a race, rally, or even a police version.

 

It would be cool if the car came with a car similar to the Ghia Jolly (which used the Fiat 600 as it's base):

 

What could this inside the forest on the right side of the teaser picture be? It looks like two big grey boxes with some decals on them... But why would there be big boxes inside a forest??
It could also be buildings but it doesn't really look like that...

And btw, Italy does not look finished yet, if you look at the highway and the towns in the distance, they look quite barebones still. So don't expect it too soon. But some people had expected it to come in 2016 already so saying that is probably useless...
