Update Speculation thread

Isn't 200BX too close to 200SX as well? I don't think that would be a problem

Yep, it needs a sound closer to the Vivace's I4

 

Yeah, right.

 

They could do a weird Neoclassic...thing like what lots of Japanese automakers were doing to kei cars and compacts.

 

I saw this the other day inside one of the dealerships in utah. Two covered suvs and the flag says burnside so maybe in a future update they will bring back the company with a suv but i could be wrong, just speculating it. the silhouettes look like maybe a ford explorer or range rover but i think its too curvy to be a roamer. A GM style would make sense because the burnside special somewhat looks like a 50s-60s chevy, ford or buick.

 

maybe a new burnside SUV

 

Er, I think somebody already mentioned it, but in my memory, these are Roamers (or at least the 3d model is called "Roamer under cover" or something like that). And we also have the covered Sunburst et Barstow in some places

 

Yeah you're memory is correct, they're literally just Roamers

 

Maybe it will be a new car, a second gen of Roamer?

 

It's been there since likely before the bastion's body shell would have even been modeled.
if it was a new car, it would have been in game by now.

 

i wonder if the devs plan on making a VW Bus type vehicle. it'd probably have to go under a new company cause none of the current companies try to imitate Volkswagen

 

I could see Autobello getting some vintage Euro comercial content

 

so maybe it is the roamer but they added a few more curves to make it look a little new for the dealership.

That would be cool!! riding around in a hippy van... and then crash it into a lamp post

they could make it under the burnside name even though burnside is GM.

 

Since the Piccolina is a mix of the Fiat 600 and VW Beetle, they could do a van version of it based on the Fiat 600 Multipla and VW Type 2.

 

Yep, Autobello could certainly have a minibus powered by the existing 1.1, 1.3 and 1.5 Flat-4s!
There could also be an official buggy based on these engines (like the Trackfab Autobello Buggy)!

I think this might be a new Burnside SUV, certainly newer than the Roamer by the looks of it.
Also, since you mentioned the Special, a new Luxury Sedan based on the frame of the Grand Marshal (and with LWB/Limo versions as well) would be nice.

Glad this comment gets recognition!!
Yep, an Inline-4 sound closer to the Vivace would be much more appropriate! The 60s/70s/80s/90s Ibishu sound just doesn't fit the modern ETKs, darn it!

 

ETK B9

 

ETK is German luxury. If we were to get a new car from them, itd probably be either a land yacht or a modern SUV

 

Audi/Merc/BMW have plenty of things that aren't either of those... Like, most of their historical lineups... Everything from economy compacts (BMW 700) to supercars (Audi R8/Mercedes Stirling Moss) to commercial trucks (Mercedes Zetros/Unimog). I have a massive wish list of just ETK vehicles I want to see in game. These three companies have made a very wide variety of vehicles over their history which really deserves some proper representation in game.

As it relates to the commercial vehicle idea, Mercedes has had the W461/W464, several cargo and passenger vans and even big rigs, and couple of city busses too. Most notable for the VW bus comparison would probably be the L319 as it does tick a couple of the same boxes as the original VW bus. Very similar model years, flat nose light duty van, crew cab/pickup/panel van/passenger van offerings.

 

ETK also has an absolute unit of an engine: the 3.0 Inline-6 Turbodiesel, with 580Nm! Along with the 2.0 Inline-4 Turbodiesel (with 355Nm), it could power a large variety of ETK light commercial vehicles. Vans, Chassis-Cabs, Pick-Up Trucks, Chassis-Cab-based Minibuses etc.
Not to mention that an SUV with the 3.0 Inline-6 Turbodiesel would be amazing! Let alone if it's also got other engines as well (like a Twin-Turbo V8)!

Also don't forget the Actros and Arocs! Talking about trucks... I'd really like to see a big European heavy truck. I think it would be great having a 625hp/3000Nm Turbodiesel engine in the game (like a BeamNG clone of the OM473 15.6l Inline-6), complete with a multi-speed automatic transmission!
