Any plans on making a scaled up version for proper american muscle boat action?

Haven't thought of it, since Corvette6317 already gave us a large muscle car. I could consider making that a project, but no guarantees. I'm still debating a shooting brake variant to add to the hardtop and convertible (of which I could show a photo soon enough).

I should also mention that the back has a lot of morphing options, with the whole rear of the greenhouses on one morph, the side window on another, yet another for the rear windshield, and then a separate one for the C pillars. Basically, the rear windshield can be morphed like these:

I don't think Corvette6317 would mind very much as he'd probably have as much fun as the rest of us using it :D

You know what they say... The more, the merrier! :lol:

We actually might benefit from a more classic non-fastback muscle body. Falcon XB GT is cool, sure, but it's back does not leave much to work with

This. Apart from the Falcon body there is no other suitable muscle car body ingame.

Re: thecarlover's mods - Range Rovers available! - Pony car

My original plan was to make a 60s pony car mashup of the Mustang and Camaro, but then I figured a 2000s ponycar would probably be more popular. My next project is the 2016 Suburban/Escalada ESV/Yukon XL, with both an Avalanche style unibody pickup and a conventional single cab (and maybe extended cab) pickup. After that, who knows... I have been looking into the Oldsmobile 442/Pontiac GTO for a classic muscle car.

I approve of the GMT, but I think the Olds 442/ GTO is too similar to the XB Falcon to really add something new to the game.

That's exactly why I'm hesitant to do it. I'd rather fill the gaps between available bodies than to add similar alternatives. I've also been thinking of the Toyota Tercel, to give a subcompact coupe and sedan option for the 1990s, something we're really lacking. I've also been looking into 2000s and 2010s sedans (both compact and midsize) to fill some large gaps. I really don't know what my next project following the SUV/pickups will be. Might even be this...

Re: thecarlover's mods - Range Rovers available! - Pony car

Yes! The one that never made it to production because of Saab's bankruptcy. Only 27 pre-production models exist, and of those 22 were sold at auction. Of course I'd make the sedan version as well.

The rear of the pony car can be morphed from this...

...to this

And of course there's also this variant

Any non fastback muscle will do. Camaro is fine

How about a mid-sized 1950s sedan? The 1950s are by far the most underpopulated decade when it comes to bodies. The only mid-sized body for the 1950s is the Mk.II Jag one. If you wan't something larger you have to use a Cadillac Series 62, if you want something smaller you are forced to use a 1960s Ford Cortina or a very british Austin A30.

I've thought about the 50s as well, and the 40s too. There's nothing from the 50s that I've gotten inspiration from at this point so I have no plans for that at the moment, while the 1940 Plymouths have caught my eye for a future project, but I'm still undecided on that. I have looked at the Mercedes 600 for a large 60s European luxury car, so that's also a future possibility.

If the devs made a scaled down version of the 50s Cadillacs to be more in line with compact/midsize cars of the 50s, that would be a great addition.

Re: thecarlover's mods - Pony car now available!

Absolutely loving the new pony car! Already made one design that I really, really like with it. Got a 4 liter V8 in it, and it looks like there's plenty of room for bigger engines, which is awesome.
