Update Speculation thread

Imagine the Soliad Wendover when to the unexpected route. The normal model uses the transverse FWD layout while the high performance version uses longitudinal RWD like the MG Rover 75.

 

the wendover's gonna be a good beamMP sleeper

 

Onto the new photos - I want more JRI photos - they look great - but WCUSA revamp and/or optimisation probably will be before that.

 

I just want more Wendover photos and/or concept art.

 

Soiled bendover gonna be cool

 

"STOP CALLING ME THAT I AM A SERIOUS LUXURY SPORT COUPE"

... yeah sure, that cast-iron pushrod V6 from a minivan really screams performance

 

The Ford gt has a 3.5L ecoboost v6 from an explorer.

Some Lotus models use 3.5L Toyota V6s which can be found In basically every Lexus and Toyota model

 

Yeah but they aren't pushrotz

 

I wonder if we're going to get a meme config, just like the Buckaroo. Sadlad wewe config.... Hmmmm

 

salad delivery vehicle

 

maybe the dirt racer config will be called the "sad lad"?

 

fair

 

tbh, i wouldn't be surprised if it had the same rear suspension from the L-Bodies or W-bodies.

 

Transverse leaf-spring?

 

Speaking of a West Coast "remaster", what if it finally got night time lighting, like Utah and Small Island have got so far? The lights in this game seem reasonably optimized now so it could be a possiblity.

 

Yep, exactly! Now correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the H-bodies have solid rear?

 

according to this diagram the h platform 98 Bonneville is independent too

 

how long's this crumple texture been in the common folder?

 

I wouldn't call them slow (ok maybe the BASE models), The Le Gran Sport (Auto) goes from 0-60 in around 7.2 seconds and i would say that's decently quick for the time (probably quicker than real equivalents). Its one of the best value vehicles in the lower price brackets so has a place in the game. I would Imagine the Wendover would be too (would be a little slower due to weight though).
The Le Gran does great Scandinavian flicks surprisingly.


Boring? I would say they both are kind of charming and interesting. Really a good example of post Malaise Detroit. Trying too hard to steal back sales from the Europeans and Japanese but failing.

Spoiler

Here's a Motorweek video to give you an idea on what the Wendover would be like.

 

98, not 88.

The Wendover is an 80s car.

I suppose that it is a Beam version of 80s GM arrogance of "if we can make a completely different coupe body, we will."

Looks like a LeGran, mechanically basically is a LeGran XL.

If it was useless, I would be thankful for that.

Hell, I think there actually are a few things somebody should have told me to spend less time on...

Why not a 90s car then, because these are today's cheap beaters?

Or one of the melty 00s GM FWDs?
