Update Speculation thread

yay now we can all reasonably assume they are working on it and might come in the next update

 

i agree with the "they are working on it" part but not the "coming next update part"

 

They have been working on it for years though...

 

For me those new pictures are from the Bruckell Legran, Why ? :

But could also so be the warning sign ...

 

It has the Ibishu Blades hubcaps, but you get them by default with the 15x7 steelies.

 

Why is there an air intake in the middle of the exhaust pipe?

 

well i made mine work like cornering lights except they are on 24/7 with highbeams

PSA 0.7 is OUT!

 

If that's really a warning then according to the wiki: "The Soliad Wendover will be an 80s American full-size sedan with a 150 hp V6 engine and front wheel drive."; and according to gabester: " Its ancient cast-iron V6 is barely enough motivation even with a supercharger " it might just be what we're not expecting.
Maybe they're releasing the wendover first, maybe the legran and the wendover together or maybe all three of them
btw: hope it's the last one

 

would be weird if they release the wendover first, because of this

 

That was almost 4 months ago. Things can change and there is never any guarantee in game development. The problem with the mesh, for example, pushed back the legran. Maybe they decided that it was best to push forward more on another car, while the legran was being fixed and now the wendover is further along.

 

Thats actually the most likely thing and also what i think the legran seems to have had alot of trouble so bringing out the wendover would be faster than fixing the legran so maybe its a bit like what i think happened with the 2400i which got released after the k-series but was teased before the k series

 

But the orientation of the engine points to a FWD car.

 

This car could also be in FWD The buick Century is FWD

It is Covet...

 

You know something had gone wrong in the car world when people mistake 80s econoboxes with standard ride heights for SUVs

 

Blame safety regulations making cars go from this:


To this:

MY ECONOMY CAR HAS TO BE ANNNGRYYYYYY

(Respectively, the Toyota Corolla and Chevrolet Impala.)

 

Is the fact that cars are safer a bad thing?

 

The modern Chevy looks much better than the old.

 

Not at all, but there is a huge compromise between safety, styling and driving performance nowadays.
Cars are becoming appliances with bland and trendy styling, and as such new car buyers are not afraid to sacrifice looks and driving pleasure in the name of safety; so new cars are very safe, but are also incredibly ugly and have no driving sensation or control (blame electronic nannies and drive by wire)

In my personal opinion the best compromise between safety and appearance was in the mid 90s. Most decent cars had airbags, they already had crumple zones incorporated into the body's construction and some even had throttle control. These measures were enough to cut down driver death rates by more than half, while retaining good styling. Here's a few examples of cars from that era:



Modern cars, despite being safer than their 90s counterparts, sacrifice a disproportional ammount of styling, weight savings, driving feel and handling abilities in the name of safety features that save maybe 3% of all drivers.

Not to mention new cars have so much insulation and so little visibility (rollover protection demands thick bulky pillars) that you could easily miss dangerous things such as oncoming vehicles due to lack of awareness inside the car. In this sense modern cars are actually less efficient at preventing a crash, despite their good protection in such events.

It's a matter of taste. Personally I dislike the new trend of angry headlights on every single car. Plus, tiny windows make me uncomfortable (big blindspots are terrible for overall visibility) so I prefer classics in terms of styling.
I can definitely see the new chevy's appeal but the proportions kill it for me.
