What's a brake and arrow package? I'm probably being dim but I don't know what you mean. :dunce:

Sounds like aero package, to me. ;)

Edit/Treed. :ouch:

I've never played GT1 (or 2, briefly with 3) but in GT4 you can turn the suggested gear indicator or the "CHANGE INTO THE WRONG GEAR NOW FFS!!!" off by choosing Simple HUD in the driving option.

I only wish I'd known that when I was still playing GT4 :banghead:

That most of the time didn't work for me tho, there was some nasty bug coming with this option, can't remember exactly how / why, but it would randomly set me back to full HUD. :dunce:
 
I would like to see... Exterior colors (all combos, like Ford GT, for example), Interior colors, brake system option (like CCB for Ferrari), calipers color (always as it is an official optional), sport packs or aerodynamic packs (like rear wing for the LP670-4 SV), right or left hand drive (and why in the world Alfa Romeo and Ford have right-hand drive!?!?!? in Prologue)... and... maybe I forget something :P

Leather dash:



Besides, in one of the videos we saw of a recent demo (The one with the Mclaren F1 in), there was a 19" wheel option for the SLR Mclaren. Surely thats a sign we will see some sort of options when you buy a car.

Not really, it could mean the wheel option model is a completely individual car, like previous games.

Doesn't the LP670-4 SV already have a rear wing? or am i confusing different Lamborghinis?
Alfa and Ford being both RHD has also puzzled me, maybe they just accidentally modelled the Japanese/British versions.......

not sure about alfa, but the ford focus is a euro ford car, thus, right hand drive.

better question is why the mini is left hand drive!

also, yes, yes, a thousand yes's to full colour options and brake calipers/brake upgrades, and auto vs manual (especially in things like the M3 with the 6speed manual or 7 speed auto!)

go play around with a car configurator, then buy a car in GT4, or prologue, it's not even nearly the same! no level of detail atall!

Ford Europe cars are predominantly aimed at the UK market. Hence Right hand drive.

Alfas are Italian, and Mini is owned by BMW and hence is German, so they should both be left hand drive. Odd how the Alfa is right hand drive... There is a case for the Mini to be right hand drive, but the Alfa i would have thought would be left, so they got one or both wrong in this respect. I think :odd:
 
i'd like to see an option where you can choose different wheels and different engines. eg: you can choose between a 4cyl trim line or a V6 trim line in a car. like all of the legacys & imprezas just make it so when we buy one we can choose a trim line like for the legacy: 2.5i, 3.6R, 2.5GT. the impreza: 2.5i, WRX, WRX STI. and different bodystyles also.

Ford Europe cars are mostly made and designed in Cologne, Germany and sold over the whole of Europe, which is mainly LHD.
Only the RHD models are made in the UK, like Vauxhall ( Opel in the rest of Europe ).
The Mini is historically at least British, so it would make sense to be RHD although it is owned by German parent BMW.
The Alfa remains a question mark, the Italians used to drive RHD cars, but this was before the Second World War.
 
Vehicle trim, so that there's not 100 versions of the Nissan Skyline.

Have something like you pick between the Standard GTR, V-spec, M-spec Nur, etc., and whatever you pick just adds on to the original price.

Except those are seperate models, sold as seperate models although they are all Skylines, i think what you mean is a standard car which you could spec up as Gtl, S or SLX, deluxe etc., but correct me if i'm wrong.
The problem with this is that you will still have 100 versions of Skyline but also thousands of versions or specifications of most other cars.

Where things are manufactured these days is partly irrelevant.

When was the last time you saw a Ford Focus ST in the USA?
Click to expand...

The Ford Focus' largest market is probably the UK, where 1999-2009 it was the best selling car in the UK every year. It makes sense for the car to be right hand drive.

Although Ford is a US company... It was designed by an Australian... It is manufactured in Germany (and various other countries)... Its main market is still the UK. For the hatchback version at least.
 
New obviously, used A(cars with low mileage and maybe slightly mechanically damaged), used B (cars with high mileage and maybe more heavily mechanically damaged),used C (rare cars with mixed mileage and mechanical damage) and used D (tuned cars with mixed mileage and mechanical damage ala Kaido Racer II).

Yeah, that's what I meant. Although I didn't think of it like that. I was just thinking along the lines of freeing up space in the carlist for new cars. Oh whell, just an idea.

You're right about the irrelevance of where a car is manufactured today but it is relevant where it originated, the Japanese cars are all RHD (in Prologue ) although the majority is sold abroad.
I'm not sure the UK is the largest market for the Focus, maybe percentual but surely not in absolute numbers as the majority is sold over the whole of Europe.
Ford UK and Ford Germany used to be seperate companies (with different models ) until the late seventies, after that the German company became the leading one and all Fords made since are essentially German.

I did like your idea, it might work if the options were somewhat limited and it would be a nice way to differentiate in a subtle way unlike putting large bodykits and 22 inch rims on your ride.
 
You see guys all this problem with LHD and RHD... 💡 all cars should be like McLaren F1! :drool: :sly:

I'm suprised that no-one has mentiond a testdrive yet. :lol:

The option to have all performance mods fitted for however many extra dollars so I don't have to go through that terrible - "are you sure you want to buy this mod?" .... "do you want to fit it now?" rigmarole that turns the process of upgrading your car into a 20minute clickfest.

Taking away Skylines only reduces the amount of cars... There is no upper limit to the amount of cars they can put in the game, realistically speaking. What you have to imagine, is that there was only one skyline from each gen. All they have done is added different versions. They have done this with each incarnation of the game. Some people, or rather a lot of people, seem to think having many types of the same car is a negative thing. Even discounting the duplicates, GT has more cars than any other driving game.

If you take into account Number of cars, number of production staff, number of years of production and the number of polygons per car, PD has put together this game is an amazing amount of time. Turn10 (As their closest rival in these terms) have nearly twice the amount of staff working on Forza, and you forget they have 30+ 911s, and loads of other variations/duplicate lineups aswell. :sly:

Thats what largest market means, effectively percentage of sales. If its cars sold per member of the population, the UK ranks higher still.
