I've been asking for more platform sharing for ages. The Moonhawk and LeGran platforms could both give us a ton of content in terms of platform sharing for not much development recources, which is all the more ironic being that Bruckell has 2 vehicles to Gavril's 7 or 8 depending on how you count the Charro/Kentarch
The Barstow is pretty close - some muscle cars, even midsized ones like the Ford Torino, mirrored its unibody/front 2-wishbone/rear leaf springs setup.
While I like the look (along with the styling trends of the time period), I do agree that the car is on the 'boring' side visually; Thing is - compared to all the features that you listed, I find AWS to be far more interesting, as it makes the car surprisingly fun to drive, which is what ultimately matters the most for me I see what you mean, just jumping in to defend one of my favorite cars
While the Barstow is close, it is certainly not a "true" late 60s-early 70s muscle car. As stated by devs in the past, it's dimensions are similar to that of a 1st gen Mustang. That factor, combined with the fact that it's a unibody car, lead it to be considered more of a pony car. What I would like to see as a "true" '69-'71 muscle car, and what I believe @vmlinuz is getting at, would be a full-frame, fullsize with multiple body styles (2dr fastback, 2dr coupe, 4dr sedan, wagon, ute) and multiple engine choices, ranging from mid-power-level small blocks to torque-monster big blocks, like the iconic GM 396 and 427 of the late '60s. The best example I can think of is the '72-'73 Ford Torino/Ranchero, although slightly newer than the aforementioned time period.
I'm thinking of something along the lines of the Oldsmobile Cutlass, a midsize car complete with sedan, wagon, formal coupe and fastback styles. Maybe even a 1968-1972 Moonhawk?
Just getting in here, Maybe a RAV-4 and CR-V mix up as an early 2000s Cross-over, and maybe a version of it for 2020. Don't be upset, I really like modern vehicles.
we need more 2000 to 2010 cars, there's only 4 at the moment. Only one started production in that era and it was at the end of it.
I personally think that we need a 1960s SUV, like the Chevy Suburban. And maybe an early generation of Wentward. Like this:
I think the 1980s-2000s are pretty well covered. I'd like the 1950s and 2010s/2020s to be filled in a bit.
did i ever say the styling was bad? i only capped on the interior because it was utilitarian, and thats actually fine also because its a mass market econosedan. the pessima is also a favorite of mine, just wished we had a cooler "older brother" to the pessima. See my previous posts here for what it might look like
What? No, but you don't exactly sound excited for the car's looks, and I agree with you there, that it simply looks "fine".
Yeah! It's not! No disagreement here! You clearly said that it looks "fine" earlier, and at no point did I try to imply that you said otherwise
I feel like platform sharing could also kick off the much needed revamp to the game's vehicle selector. You could start off by choosing a manufacturer, then a platform, and then a model. Then, you would fine tune your selection through a series of menus instead of preset configurations.
