Hope it's a BX, very curious about it's hydropneumatic suspension in game.

The DS is in game and had it I know, but wasn't this refined. Xantias and BXs were revered for turning corners with virtually no body roll.

Gonna love seeing that in GT7. No body roll 🙏

Geez, a Citroen Xantia V6 Activa would be awesome ! At the time, it was faster than a 911 in corners.

There's no mystery hidden in the floor being visible in the picture, for anyone curious if the change in presentation meant anything.

The revealed version of the February silhouettes had the same tile pattern on the floor in the bottom left:

Your friend is incorrect.

It's a Tres Riche (TR) model or higher, which has the extended - and smoked - glass panel in the C-pillar.

Edit: Just to make it a bit clearer:

It also has the wee black plastic spoiler on the tailgate if you look veeeeeeery closely:

BX16 or BX19 TRS is my guess.

isnt the white part on your edited image supposed to be glass on the dark image? thats why I think it could be a Corolla hatchback from the mid 80s or a phase 2 FSO Polonez

Not just the white part.

The red is bodywork, the black is the glass panel and the white is the bit of the glass through which you can see. If you reference the real car image below it, you can see the same thing: the glass panel covers a good chunk of the C-pillar but a lot of the edge of it is obscured because there's interior trim pieces beneath. Only the small central component is see-through (and it's smoked glass).

It is a BX, it's just a matter of which specification.

I would guess the GTI 16 valves since that version was fantastic 😍

Not enough extra bodywork for that. It'll be a TR/TG or TZ (we got a TX in the UK, but the car is LHD), which I think means it has to be a BX16 or BX19.

Also I just discovered the "glass" C-pillar panel is plastic, through people posting pics of their uv-damaged ones. Our weird neighbour when I was a kid had a BX16 TZS and I'd have sworn it was glass - but that was 40 years ago. It never occurred to me that it would be plastic...
 
At this point we should start to wonder what the thought process is behind their car choices. Do they look at whatever car sells a lot in a certain region, and think to themselves that having that car in the game will make people buy the game or come back to it?

After 3 boring SUVs, we get a 4th one? Of all the great/sporty SUVs on the market, like the Purosangue, Cayenne Turbo, Puma ST, T-Roc R, why choose the non-sporty ones?

We went from "PD is adding X and Y car for the sake of variety" to "PD just doesn't care about what the community wants, and adds whatever car comes out of the hat".

The fact that they don't realise the vast majority of players wants to play racing games to drive their dream cars, sports cars in general and race cars, and chose to waste resources modeling common everyday cars, is beyond me. Not even Fiesta ST type regular cars in a sporty variant (which is a glaring omition), just straight up slow boring version of a random car.

The worst part, is that most players bought GT7 with the idea that even though the car list at launch was somewhat meh, it would improve with great regular updates, like GT Sport. Guess everyone was wrong.

It's also funny that they want people to get into the E-Sports scene, yet do nothing to shake it up a bit with a few new cars here and there, for all classes.

Exactly! I get that they want to keep adding SUV‘s because they are very popular nowadays. On the other hand they choose boring crossovers with anemic engines instead of cars like the Cayenne Turbo, X5M or the Trackhawk. What‘s the point?

It seems that the 1987 GTI fits. Maybe different names have been applied between french / uk versions 🤷
 
Well, all three manufacturers needed their line ups increasing, not sure I would've picked the 2008 or BX, considering the 208 Pikes Peak is in the datamine and a Citroen SM would've gone down a treat. I'll take them though, hoping it's a BX GTI.

PD do what PD want. not what we the players want. hence my lack of intrest in the gt series. had all gt from 1-6 but never sport,didn't had a ps4. and those old games was fun and engaging. this gt7 is don't know what to call it...just bad. no career mode for single players. but at last i got a ps4 pro.

As well as lacking the C-pillar window - which should be the really obvious part - the 1987-on (16v) GTI has a larger (longer) rear wing and front spoiler - as well as foglights. Here is a French car, which is identical to the UK car:

The 8v, pre-87 GTI had an even more obvious hoop rear wing.

I'm pretty sure it's a TRS, I just can't tell if it's a BX16 or BX19.

The Integrale is nice but I don‘t understand why Kaz insists on adding these boring crossovers. Nobody wants these cars in a racing game.

maybe those cars are pushed by manufacturers ?

they are clearly not added because of their interest

It's usually the car maker who wants a specific car being advertised in game. The developer does that in order to get access to the car they want to put in the game. This was explained by Kunos when people asked about the cars choices in AC.

I do.
They're a lot of fun to throw around. Big, heavyweight touring cars - lots of body roll.

Very obvious starter car choices for GT8 too. Start in your boring daily driver, work your way up.

The career mode is poor i agree on that. But it was that on gt6 as well. Gt5 was the last good career mode.

Outside of career mode gt7 huge step up in every other carogory. Also has played since the series started
