Update Speculation thread

Technically the bus already is a only-automatic vehicle

 

Well... yeah

 

Alright maybe I should've put more thought into my statement lol. I retract it.

 

I don't think the wendover is based on the h-body, because those appear to be for cars like the Vega, it looks like it's based more on the e-body (reatta, toronado)

 

There were two H-bodies, one used on RWD compact cars in the 1970s, and one used on FWD luxury cars in the late 80s and early 90s.

 

however that one was used for sedans

 

Im wondering what new "feature" will be added with the wendover, as we all know the trend of something new with each car. My thoughts is since the infotainment is such a prominent part of it's interior that maybe it will have a function?

 

that's what I'm hoping too

 

Also seeing as we're getting intractability with the walking mode maybe that is a good sign

 

Of the three cars made on that platform, two of them came in both coupe and sedan.

 

i know, but the wendover still looks more like an e-body car because it shares some characteristics with the reatta and the toronado

 

I honestly don't see it... it's definitely closer to an H-body


^h-body

 

wow.

i hope it has popups as an option, or hideaway's like the barstow

 

The Regal is a W-body, but I do think the Wendover is closest to the W and H bodies. I wouldn't be surprised if it had a sedan body too since nearly every H and W body car came in coupe and sedan variants.

 

The front looks like a third gen Buick Regal, the back looks like a fourth gen Oldsmobile Trofeo.

 

i based my findings on the little 80s render thing of the wendo, and it looks pretty close to a toronado trofeo

this post also shows the similarities with the trofeo and the wendover, down to the badge location on the dashboard

yeah I see the resemblance with the W body and the legran, H body too
it probably will have a sedan variant considering the fact that when the concept was first released in 2012 it was originally a sedan

 

I disagree. The reason that the Wendover was changed to a coupe was because the "'80s American FWD Sedan" niche is filled already by the LeGran.

 

IMO just having a coupe would make it deviate from what we've seen before from these types of vehicles
I do see your point though

 

Interesting theory considering when the engine sounds get updated. (0.10, 0.16)
