Update Speculation thread

THE BRUCKELL CHIVALA LIVES!!!!!!

 

While a bruckell version isn’t unlikely I think the multiple taillights are more likely indicative of a facelift.

 

But do you really think Soliad would offer a panel van version of its "luxury" minivan? It would be infinitely more likely to be found on a bone stock base model Bruckell. Remember, this is like Chevy vs Buick or Dodge vs Chrysler, Buick and Chrysler would never offer a panel van, that'd be reserved for the Chevys and Dodges.

Edit: I misread your message, but I personally find it more likely that the different taillights belong to different vehicles rather than different facelifts.

 

I just noticed that the “prefacelift” taillights look similar to the 96 dodge caravan’s taillights, and the “facelift” taillights look similar to the taillights found on the facelifted (or next gen of, I don’t know) 2001 dodge caravan. Additionally, going by the irl minivans, the taillights didn’t change between the Chrysler T&C and Dodge Caravan.

 

Actual working mirrors that show the car they are mounted on as well;

I'm been looking to the Lansdale and I think that it isn't a Dodge Caravan, Chrysler Town and Country or Plymouth Voyager, but a Oldsmobile Silhouette, would make sence as Wendover is a Oldsmobile Toronado.

 

I don't think it's based on a specific vehicle, just with different design cues from different vehicles.

 

isn't it closer in style to a Buick Reatta?

 

Must be a mix of Oldsmobile Toronado and Buick LeSabre, Reatta is like Fieri.

Yeah, some parts must be inspired on other american minivans

Theres no poof the Bruckell version will be the Chivala, the vehicle list is irrelevant

 

no poof that there will be a Bruckell version

 

However there is a reasonable expectation, Soliad would never offer a panel van model of their "luxury" minivan, and a panel van is shown in the teaser with the van at the top of the hill.

 

you know i never thought about that until now, because my 04 odyssey has the normal handles plus power sliding doors but those on the lansdale do look like they would be inconvenient (in real life at least) especially if the lower trims have non power doors,

 

There's one common point with the Wendover and the Toronado and it is that they Can both support V8 FWD

 

Maybe the 4400 V8 will be available for the minivan as a custom part in the base game, it would make sense for a drift config because why not

 

I believe it's high unlikely that the Lansdale will be offered with the 4400 V8 in a factory trim (the only V8 powered minivan I remember is the Mercedes-Benz R-Class). But it's possible that a custom made van comes with the V8.

 

I hope there is no v8 factory trim just for realism sake, but an aftermarket one is cool

 

..

 

who else thinks its more of a nissan quest/mercury villager type of deal. the front of the van in the gambler teaser remains VERY ibishu in how the hood tapers in to where the grille would be, like on a pessima of similar vintage, maybe its a soliad lansdale/ibishu ____ ?

 

this is my very terrible drawing of what the taillight looks like to me
