Odd Car Dreams - the Yugo or the Edsel?

[rabbitinvasio]

So, I keep wondering when PD might put the Yugo into the game. Or perhaps the Edsel. I am aware that there was some kind of talk somewhere about adding in more of the less powerful cars. Personally, having once owned one, I'd love to see the Yugo in there. What are your thoughts on this, folks?

Oddball cars?

Oddball choices in cars and tracks is my main reason for choosing which sim to get.

Who holds the license to the Yugo?

I'd love to see a Yugo added, pretty sure it would make a wicked little rally car 😎

And as for lesser powered older cars, (i know i'm biased) the gen 1-4 Corollas are sooo cute and fun to drive.. maybe not for high speed courses like Monza or Sarthe, but if shorter, tighter autocross courses were added i think cars like the Yugo and old Corollas would do well 😁

Oddball choices in cars and tracks is my main reason for choosing which sim to get.

I mean, full disclosure here, GT7 is my first sim in a very long time, and my principal reason for getting it was to be able to have the '66 VW Beetle. So I drive the Herbie I designed around pretty much half the time I'm racing.

Also, maybe we can get the Pinto mixed in?

Who holds the license to the Yugo?

Great question. Zastava Motors, which was a state-owned car manufacturer. But I've also seen Serbia and Italy thrown around in web references for the car's design/origin.

How about a 1978 Mustang II Ghia. It would do 100mph .... down hill with a tail wind and it was terrifying. FH3 had a Mustang II Cobra that was fun to play with.

Other contenders:

Trabant 601 or Pontiac Aztec?
Lada Riva or Ford Cortina Mk I?
Chevrolet Corvair or Chevrolet Vega?

Yugo 45A, yes please! We really need more goofy cars!

 

[SrGS]

VW Karmann-Ghia would be cool!

The Car MMMM tastey!

I had to work on a Yugo once.

Some AMC's and a couple of DeSoto's and some Hudson's with twin H-power maybe? A DeSoto Golden Adventurer from -57-59? ofcourse the Hemi.

All i really want is the gen 4 Corolla liftback.. had two irl, and the 3t-c engine is built the same as a hemi v8.. well, half of one anyway 😅 bulletproof little 1.8, sooo torquey at low revs.. definitely could have potential if it were to be added 💙

It was an 1974.Rambler Rebel is a nice car,but oh so hard to find.We have/had a Rebel for sale here in sweden just a week ago and also a Marlin

Btw the photo is taken on a borderline-meeting between Norway and Sweden.It was in a small town in sweden just 60 km (33 miles give or take) Just for Amc and Rambler.Notice the Pacer,Ambassador and just a hint of an American i think.Was many year's ago so my mind might slipped.
