As long as there's a special Long Body modification, I'm all for it

I found this part interesting: "we are experimenting with auto-generation." I think that is the work Saito-san specialises in. Will be great if we get a new GT reveal this year.

Also good to see Translator-san is still there.
 
I ofcourse know what you mean, but one might read into it as if Panda was retired in 2003 altogether.
The classic, first incarnation of Panda was discontinued in 2003, further generations came after.

Guys, there's already a Panda (in 4x4 guise nonetheless) in GT7,they were teasing it all along!
:lol:


All jokes aside, this is my absolute favourite econobox!! The model looks like the more recent 141A from 1986 to 2003, maybe the return of the 1000 Super from GT4? It sure doesn't look like the original 141 from 1980 to 1985 (too little details, different bumpers and side plastic mouldings) or a 4x4 (but the model's incomplete, so we will not now until its release).

I really hope it will come to GT7, I have so many memories of my father's '89 750CL that he had when I was little.
Not a lot of go, but it never broke down! It was a little cranky sometimes but there's something to be said about honest transportation in a game like this.
 
The Panda was one the latest cars released by SEAT before "divorcing" from FIAT. As a curiosity, in the early 80s, the was a version called "Panda Marbella" with a black plastic front grille.

The all-white car in the pic reminds me of the Fiat Panda Italia 90 Edition, or it could be a Seat Marbella ....of which i had the pleasure of driving years ago, i recall it leaning to the left & right when driven, in a Nigel Farage style, but more reliable
The Marbella was basically a restyled Panda, especially the front end.

There's a saying in Spain that goes "tienes menos detalles que el interior de un Panda". If your girlfriend says that to you, you better go and buy her something nice 🤣
In my region, there's a rally cup for beginners reserved to low displacement cars, a relative of mine raced one Marbella two years ago.
 
I saw a post containing silhouettes on facebook around 20 April and it mentions Fiat Panda, Honda e, and BMW M4 GT3 EVO. Peoples says it's fake but I think it might be true after all. Too bad I don't have a pic because I thought it's fake because peoples says it's fake

They want Pandas, I just want a GT40 Race Car.

The fact that this is somehow newsworthy says something about the state of Gran Turismo. Pathetic.
I mean, GT7 is over 3 years old now. The free updates are nice but let's not forget we are not entitled to anything.

GT8 production is probably in full swing in the background, without being ready to announce anything. What are you expecting?

Of course there are enough things to criticize PD for with GT, but that really isn't it.

It does. It says that GT is all about including a vast, eclectic mix of cars, from high-end supercars to models meant for the masses. If GT only included contemporary sports cars, would it really be GT? For example, I genuinely love that GT7 has added older Honda Civic models that pre-date the more popular Type R models. Plus, wasn't the Fiat Panda in GT4?

Of course, I'd be down to see many more special designs, not only by Giugiaro himself, but perhaps also by Pininfarina, Bertone, Zagato, and Giovanni Michelotti. They could even have some Extra Menus themed around these designers! Someone mentioned the BMW M1 as an especially notable example of a Giugiaro design, but I wonder if the first-gen Suzuki SX4 would also be a solid pick?

A panda sport 100hp jobbie is actually a real world car I’d own, in game not my thing but if all the cars it’s not a bad shout as a potentially European Kei car.
