    No offense to the designer, but the facelifted headlights are very unrealistic.
    This is a headlight on a 2003 Grand Caravan:

    The headlights are way too complex. Don't get me started on the running lights...

    I don't personally find these to be a particularly complex design, especially for the technically more luxurious brand of Bruckell. They have a generally more intricate design but overall they really aren't all that complicated and may actually be somewhat easier to engineer because the two main headlights are literally just circles aimed in a direction, a tried and true design since some of the first electric headlights.

    Yes, but they don't suit a minivan, and the running lights should be removed, in my opinion. The overall headlight design looks too expensive for a basic people-mover.

    I think you meant Soliad, not Bruckell.

    I meant Bruckell, Soliad is Bruckell's luxury division, which is why I said "more luxurious brand of Bruckell".

    Ah, I thought you were saying Bruckell is the more luxurious one.

    I think they were also taking inspiration from the subsequent generation vans with the facelift headlight design. As for the running lights, they're allowed to have some creative liberties with these things, as well. Halogen daytime running lights weren't that uncommon in 2003.

    What I'm about to type is actually a problem with the LeGran and the Wendover: their 3.3/3.8 V6s and 4.4 V8 rev higher than they should and that's wrong. The Lansdale's rev limiters are infinitely more realistic for these OHV engines, not to mention that the LeGran and the Wendover are made for comfortable driving, like the Lansdale! In a few words, the LeGran and the Wendover should share the same rev limiters with the Lansdale.
    Here are the rev limiters with the Stock parts (ECU and Intake) for the Lansdale - I only mention the Stock parts because that's the only ECU the LeGran/Wendover have besides the Race Adjustable one:

    3.3 V6: 5100rpm
    3.8 V6: 4800rpm
    4.4 V8: 5200rpm

    And here are those of the LeGran/Wendover:

    3.3 and 3.8 V6: 6000rpm
    4.4 V8: 5700rpm

    As for the 2.2/2.5 I4s, the rev limiter is the same on all these cars: 5800rpm. Don't know exactly how correct it is, but I still think it should be a bit lower, certainly less than 5500rpm.

    That's only about the Sport Intake part, which has become the Stock one in the Lansdale lineup.

    This update / Soliad Lansdale is so good that I've decided to buy one in real life I live in Qc, Canada and I've found one cross-country in Vancouver , BC , Canada ( around 4000km from home ) . I've bought it via my company ( I'm a used car dealership owner here in Canada ) and was not able to resist buying it ! Some people call me crazy but I don't care , I love it

    I've bought a 97 Dodge Grand Caravan ES , equipped with all bell and whistles . Only 189000km on it and drive amazing .

    The reason with its so special for me it's because the 3rd gen Caravan was my first car ever when I was 16 ( had the base base model ! )

    Thanks again devs for this amazing car in an amazing game ❤️

    Both ! The 3rd gen caravan always been my favorite generation of all , I love the " sporty style " and all the different configuration you can have in those vans ! When I saw the Soliad in the game I've just lost it its my default car ever since ! It's was my first car so it's kinda special for me . I was originally looking for a 1999/2000 Town and Country but here in Canada they are all gone , it's very rare to even find a base model still running !
    I was just lucky enough to be able to buy it and I don't regret it at all ! It's driving fine ( still surprised how good actually ) and all the features works !

    Maybe I can make some custom badges saying " Soliad Lansdale SL " on the tailgate ?? Can be neat !

    Originally i was thinking about importing one from the Southern US ( they are still plenty down there and they are in pretty in good shape since they dont rust away like they do here in Canada ) but it was wayyyyy too expensive ( couple of grands only for transport and custom fees + buying price ) so when ive found mine in Canada and with a very very decent price , i knew i had to buy it XD

    Love it so much that i use it every day , even attached my dealer plate on it and i go everywhere with it ! All my friends ( even my wife ! ) loves it ! Here in Qc , Canada , all cars over 25 years old are declared " vintage / antique " so yeah , im driving an antique minivan :cool:

    Living in Canada is awesome because we only have to wait 15 years for imports, and oh yeah, rust is bad… I live 20km from coast of nb and it takes less than 15 years for a car to fail inspection because of rust

    Here in Quebec we do not have any form of annual inspection / safety required on cars so many of the older cars here are in really bad shape ( structural damage and so on ) . I do import a lot of cars from the other province because they are generally in better condition but i do have to perform a '' out of province '' inspection at the SAAQ ( organism here in Qc taking care of inspection and plating and transfering ownership ) . Still very happy with my van so far , just replaced the whole headlights for new one , next is a paint and leather seats recon !

    There are a few similarities between the skins, but I can guarantee you I could find hundreds of other liveries with the same similarities. The Lansdale police skin is not a copy of that particular French police livery.
