Re: Vehicle Body suggestions

Ok, enough plain cars. We need some more special ones as well. Iconic cars, and not just sports cars ;)

I know there are lovers and plenty of haters with this one, but what about the AMC Pacer? Would someone be interested in making a wide subcompact car like the Pacer?

Re: Vehicle Body suggestions

There's always room for sub-compacts in my book. We have too many sports cars as it is, we need some subcompacts, compacts, sedans, and at least a couple SUV's.

As for the Pacer, I fall in the camp that kinda likes it, but I like the Gremlin a little more.

The AMC Gremlin is also nice to have. It is a bit more boxy than the Pacer though and more conventional. However, it is still a pretty interesting design, especially coming from a USA manufacturer.

Re: Vehicle Body suggestions

It would probably be possible to have a model that does both reasonably well with morphing.

Something similar to those would definitively be interesting, and I will put that on my todo list when I am done fixing my old stuff and adding more mainstream American stuff.

Re: Vehicle Body suggestions

I think that we need some more small crossovers/suv's for the 2010's because we are really lacking them and they are needed to be successful in the modern age.

Also a 90's/00's large suv will be quite useful as well due to the 30 year gap between the two vanilla bodies.

Re: Vehicle Body suggestions

Also agreed. We need some trucks and SUV's in the more modern age.

Could also do with some modern aerodynamic designs for compact hatchback and sedan, and maybe a coupe. The default in game one doesn't have enough morphs to make something properly interesting with it.

Re: Vehicle Body suggestions

Ok, so how about the Audi TT as a modern aerodynamic hatchback/coupe? Again a sporty car, but very pretty and unique IMO.

And here is a Shooting brake concept car from Audi as well.

The Volvo C-30 (2007), as a compact car (hatchback)

For a SUV, 1997–2001 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4-door, you can probably make a pickup-truck version as well.

You can likely also make a 2-door version of this one (Jeep Cherokee Sport 2-door):

Re: Vehicle Body suggestions

Those would do! The couple cars from Audi are nice too, and I learned a new variation of car. Never heard the term "shooting brake" before. Actually kinda cool.

Re: Vehicle Body suggestions

What about the old Toyota T100? Not a compact, not a midsize, but a truck small enough to be driveable pretty much everywhere and useful for most tasks.

Also, crew cab pickups.

Re: Vehicle Body suggestions

The Toyota T100, would do. I think if used for inspiration you can make SUVs and Pickup trucks from the same model as different variants. That would also broaden their usability (along with 2 and 4 doors).

The crew car pickup, I find IRL awful, but if they are created a 4 door pickup might still be a nice additional variant for a new pickup/SUV model.

Re: Vehicle Body suggestions

T100 is classed as a half ton pickup I believe. With that being said, I would love to see 1/4 ton, half ton, 3/4 ton, and one ton pickup bodies with different cab and bed options. Especially since we'll eventually get engines ranging from l4 to V10s.

Basically a Ford Ranger, F150, F250, and F350 bodies of varying decades. Toyota Tacoma would also be another fun one.

Re: Vehicle Body suggestions

Something I just noticed while starting a build in 1940: We don't have any '40's coupes! We've got sedans, yes, but no honest two-door coupes.

Now, I may be crazy, but I do like the older body styles, the long, sweeping fenders, long hood/bonnet, and graceful curves that gave cars beautiful designs. I'd love to be able to build some fast cars using modern parts and old school bodies, but I would also enjoy it if I could choose to build a nice two-door car in 1940.

Granted, I know it's not really a priority, at least not one for most people, but I think it'd be cool.

Re: Vehicle Body suggestions

SEVERE lack of modern cars...

Aston Martin/ Jaguar style coupe -

Modern LeMans body
Image

Modern Crossover/Medium SUV - All we have is the one that looks like the current Ford Explorer
Image
Image

Shooting Brake
Image

2010s Midsized/Large Sedan - The two available ones are both strange to me though I can't quite say why.

If any of these body-styles could be introduced, I'd be super-hype

It should be relatively easy to mod a 2 door variant for the small 40s car. I cannot do it, but others certainly can. Also a convertible version for the 2 door variant would be nice.

Tbh, I do not agree we have a severe lack of modern cars. We have a lack of pickup trucks and SUVs, but we have plenty of sport cars for the modern area. We could do with a new hatchback though and a shooting brake concept would also be nice. Do not get me wrong, I want as many designs in the game as possible, it is just that others should have more priority I think. Also cars that are from the earlier eras have the benefit that they can be used for a longer time in game when the campaign arrives.

Re: Vehicle Body suggestions

I agree with Tycondero.

I started trying to make a lot of cars all over the years and the era where we are missing the most cars would be the very early period.

A few of the mods help fill up that era but we are still missing a ton of stuff that could be interesting.

For modern cars, we have stuff that fits acceptably well in most categories, except maybe city cars and pickups.
