Update Speculation thread

Time to throw it off the cliffs

 

my guess is the update is dropping next week or at best at the end of this

 

I hope to God someone swaps the transverse 4400 V8 in it

 

A limited version with a v8 would be cool

 

Who's gonna make a NASCAR skin with "DO IT FOR LansDALE!!" written on it?

 

It would indeed be fitting, but I doubt the devs would purposely delay a finished update just to match the Gambler 500 start date

 

It would be weirder if they didn't schedule the release to more or less line up with the thing it's in collaboration with. It's not like they've never done a scheduled update before, look at the Automation collab they did a few years ago.

 

"Soliad Lansdale". That's a very nice name.
So I was right from the get go, the car is indeed a Bruckell product. The 3.3/3.8 transverse V6 engines are a screaming tell tale sign, after all. And, based on the era of the car (late 90s - early 00s), I'm guessing the 3-Speed Automatic left the building, with the 4-Speed Automatic being the only logical choice for both V6s (supposing it's only got V6 engine options, without the 2.5 I4 being offered).
Also, being a Soliad means that we already have a version for the upper end of the Minivan market, so a Bruckell version, with a different model name of course, makes perfect sense for being placed at the lower-to-mid end of it.

 

Styling choice?

 

I had this feeling right from the start, the Bruckell 3.3/3.8 V6s were just too obvious!

 

I wonder if there will be a Bruckell version and maybe a manual and the superchargers

 

My God, I'd love to see that! Especially in spiced-up supercharged AWD form!

I believe there will be a Bruckell version, given the fact that the Soliad nameplate is geared towards the more affluent Bruckell clientele. Superchargers will certainly be a thing, since the existing Bruckell engines can support them. Manuals? Well, I'm not so sure, but ok, we'll wait and see. Personally, I'm hoping more about AWD, though.

 

Yeah but V8 minivans aren't a thing minus the R-Class, so I don't think so, at least from the factory.

 

Soliad is back, baby! So it's probably a Plymouth Voyager

 

It does offer AWD!

Maybe it's the Bruckell version pictured on the right!

That's the most logical conclusion, since it makes the most sense financially, for diffusing production costs in as many copies as possible.

 

Soliad Landsdale... perfect for a Bruckell Chivala rebadge job

 

Nah because there gonna change the update scedule cuz a 93 year old furry doesn’t want the update to launch next week

I bet there gonna call it that

 

the wheels matched

 

Wasn’t expecting to read that sentence today

 

Chrysler did offer the 4cyl and the Mitshubishi 3.0L V6 with the 3-speed automatic in the Caravan and the Grand Caravan as base engines.

I'm going to speculate;

I4
2.2L OVH I4 - (???) I don't think this would be offered in a van this new, even in stripped down cargo model.
2.5L OVH I4 - (SOHC in real life starting in 1996) 5-speed manual w/opt 3-speed auto
2.5L I4 Diesel - (???) I would make my own if it doesn't come with one.

V6
2.7L SOHC V6 (???) -Sourced from the Pessima. Not realistic but, would be a cool nod to the Mitsubishi powered Chrysler vans of the 90s
3.3L OVH V6 - 3-speed auto w/opt 4-speed auto
3.8L OVH V6 - 4-speed auto only

I think that would be the most realistic if we're going off of Chrysler specs. GM at the time only offered the 3.4L with the 4T65-E.
