If this could be in GT5 I would be very satisfied with the game!
 
While we're at it why don't we include big yellow School buses from the USA, motorbikes, hearses, Mack trucks, yellow cab taxis, fire engines, ambulances, parade floats, limosines,(anyone fancy the idea of racing a Maybach around the 'ring?) army tanks and other armored vehicles, (imagine the blocking and ramming potential of a tank!) and pogo sticks? Afterall we already have pick up trucks in the game, and GT4 had the 1886 Daimler motor carriage and Model T ford
 
There should be an older model Toyota Hiace, a 4WD one too, because my dad has one... I mean two, and they should put in racing trucks, and most of all, Dune Buggies
 
Sure, why not? The GT5 Premium car selection leans too much towards race cars and supercars.... that's boring in my opinion.
However they would have to include enough of them to have a diverse enough starting grid made of only those vehicles.
 
If you're gonna have Vans, why not a Sabine Schmitz Special Event? Call it the Curves of the Ring!

Platinum sales guarenteed.
 
Iv'e just started the game I was hoping there would be a ford transit on the game appears not or is there any download to any big vans (commercial) if not I think they should make one for the game

I've always wondered about GT5's slogan.

"The real DRIVING simulator"

So, why not include vans in the GT series? Honestly, I really want to haul a Ford Transit round the Nurburgring under 10 minutes! Not only this, but imagine upgrading these with turbochargers (imagine the torque!)

Short answer: No.

Long answer:
GT5 Forums' FAQ
Car list...
Here, yes (thanks, Fido_le_Muet). This is currently a master car list of names and models with Premium and Standard status. If you need more detail than that, there is a complete list available as an Excel file in this thread.

Which will answer all of your car list questions.
 
You wanted a real van instead of a minivan, counter345? There's one Gran-Turismo-like game that has you covered on at least one count...

Also the GMC Vandura and Ford Transit in the-game-which-shall-not-be-named-here.
 
And these:

I have fond memories of our old G20 van, so I'm a yes on that alone.

It's just more avenues for fun, we can sit here and argue until we're all blue in the face about which cars "deserve" to be in the game over which others, so it's not like these vans are any less deserving in the bigger scheme of things.

Gran Turismo is the last franchise which should be subject to this argument considering it pioneered the inclusion of "everyday" cars in a racing game in an era where everything else had nothing but exotics/supercars/sportscars or at the very least sport compacts.

We might not be playing games with Honda Civics in them if not for Gran Turismo.
 
Yeeeaaah vans..

We had a Toyota hiace when I was a kid, then we upgraded to a transit and no I'm not a Gypsy Traveller lol.

Fond memories of jumping up and down over the rear axle to get some traction when my mum was trying to drive up hills in the snow.

Hgv racing has quite a following too. Maybe not so in the US, but there's definitely a small scene in the UK.

Other than that maybe some oval stock racing. The ones with the L shaped rear wings.

Variety is the spice of race.

Lol enthusia? Twas a good game.

I feel that what gt5 lacks in true vans, it makes up in average commuter cars. We have every iteration of the prius (well until 08 or so) and even a racing version

I believe they were talking about a racing game that stars with F and is only available on XBOX 360.
 
Ho leee chit. I can see it now. GT5 lobbies full of vans with 100,000hp on X1 chassis's and slammed or 1500hp on vette chassis's doing drifts you wouldn't dare in a real Van.

Or maybe some micro vans like the suzuki super carry or badford rascal? I'd race those all day long! =D
