2016-05-10 16:45 | GroupB wrote Here's where I differ on the site thinking for a change. Mk. I isn't needed for the Skyline Sport because there was only one generation. It's redundant. Show me a Mk. II Skyline Sport and I'll shut up. It's true that the Skyline Sports is actually a seperate series. So Mk. could be removed, but then the full name has to be Skyline Sports instead of Skyline. | |

II Skyline Sport and I'll shut up. Edit: I see the problem. We've been listing it as an ordinary Skyline. It should really be listed as Skyline Sport. It was a totally different car line from the mass-produced Skylines. -- Last edit: 2016-05-10 16:46:22 | |

2016-05-10 15:02 | Noko Tau wrote Wasn't sure about naming this MK I since this certainly isn't the first Prince Skyline. There were six variations before it. Giovanni Michelotti's¹ BLRA-3 might be based on Takuya Himura#s S21s but obviously significantly different enough to warrant a new chassis/ body code. ¹ Of Ferrari, Maserati & Triumph fame. Mark I is correct. | |

2016-05-09 21:03 | yeah obviously in situation where we can't identify the engine then just leave it as VW Typ 1, many people put them just as Beetles which isnt correct | |

2016-05-09 20:03 | Plymouth did not use the Six Pack name; that was Dodge only. Also, "V8" was never called out because there were no lesser engines. A V8 was standard on the 'Cuda model for all 6 years it was offered. -- Last edit: 2016-05-09 20:32:32 | |

2016-05-09 16:44 | Just remember that 1200 is simply the displacement, not the model name, and it increased over the lifespan of the car. In addition, it varied depending what market the car was sold in. For example, all 1966 Beetles were 1300s in the USA:![]() Usually there is a rhyme and reason to the way things are organized on this site, even if it may not be immediately apparent to new users. -- Last edit: 2016-05-09 16:47:39 | |

2016-05-09 15:38 | Desscythe17 wrote I think you're misinterpreting the name "New Beetle". It doesn't have to be the new and current model, all it is is a modern version of the classic Volkswagen commonly known as the Beetle. Volkswagen always refers to this car (the A4 Beetle) as "New Beetle", so I think listing it as simply Beetle is wrong. Totally agree. The A4 has officially been called "New Beetle", while the A5, ironically, only "Beetle". -- Last edit: 2016-05-09 15:46:07 | |

And I see your point about future entries completely ignoring these facts. (Technically speaking it's the PQ34/9C and PQ35/16 but I reckon people might get confused with that annotation especially if it ever comes to PQ46 and PL46 platforms.) And VAZ 2101-2107s rocked. Hardly any left in the UK They were largely bought and brought back to Russia 'cause the UK spec ones used heavier gauge steel from Ravenscraig. You could say just like IRN BRU they were 'Made in Scotland from Girders' ![]() | |

Although I'm amazed no-one's said "You shouldn't have said this was a playable car, I can only buy the 2013 cars." Which is also kind of the reason I decided to finish them all off with two 2011 cars that I had clearly bought and the matching outfit. I should have done this with Tony's 2010 car though. I kinda dig the front splitter of the 2010 Old Spice/ Office Depot car. | |

2016-05-04 15:14 | I am adding only these "old" beetles as Volkswagen [Typ 1] And you know what, I can spend one afternoon changing all "old" beetles to only Volkswagens (because I dont know much about them). The real trouble here is that if somebody will add a new "beetle", he/she will list it incorrectly much like Lada Riva. Done. If we exlude Beetle Baja Bugs, which is best term for them (not a factory cars), all old beetles are now listed without model name. Perhaps for the more recognisable examples we can list them by their proper name and with the other ones we could leave then as they are now or add "Beetle" to "Extra info" -- Last edit: 2016-05-04 15:43:42 | |

2016-05-04 14:47 | Noko Tau wrote Only ever unofficially known as the Beetle. Was never the model name. Model is 1200. This is why I put 'Beetle' in extra info. Would be nice if it registered who made these changes so people don't think I believed this car had 'Beetle' written on the back, or the 2000 Beetles had 'New Beetle' on the back of them. The 2000s models had nothing on the back, but I do believe that they were officially known as the New Beetle. I remember an article stating that Volkswagen specifically changed the name to Beetle when they introduced the 3rd generation. | |

Noko Tau photo_librarymode_comment 2016-05-02 21:29 | Automotive Gaming wrote Argh, I've edited it but forgot to change the class to Racecar. And accidentaly left the chassis code "CN.AR750106" which is related only to this specific TZ2, since it's "105.11" instead for all the Giulia TZ1 and TZ2 models. Removed the "Coachbuilt by Zagato" info since it's useless as TZ means "Tubolare Zagato" already. Well I'd agree the chassis code should be '105.11' if this were a generic car since that would be, as you say, for all the Giulia TZ1 & TZ2 models, but this looks to me like a very particular car with a very particular history. That particular car was what I was presenting. Even Polyphony present it as "CN.AR750106" and not a generic Alfa TZ1/ TZ2. And when they do their research outside of their comfort zone regarding cars . . . then it must be important. Polyphony even thought it wise to include "carrozzata da ZAGATO" in the description in case 'TZ' didn't quite convey this. If you think the average player from American or Japan is going to automatically know that 'TZ' means 'Coachbuilt by Zagato' then sure, go for the change. I, however, have my doubts. | |
Noko Tau photo_librarymode_comment 2016-05-02 17:37 | No, even Polyphony has listed it as "Volvo 240 GLT Estate" not "Volvo 240 Estate GLT" That is to say Make = Volvo Model = 240 Edition = GLT Body type = Estate (break, wagon) and Year = 1988 The reason wagons are listed as estate is because estate is another name for wagon. It is not the car's name, it's a description. This 240 that happens to be in estate form. -- Last edit: 2016-05-02 17:38:39 | |

2016-05-01 15:22 | The game has both the Road Car and the Concept because the road car is like its real life counterpart, with a V8 engine (the real car uses a Ford V8) and the Concept is an electric vehicle which is just fictional. | |

It hadn't been updated in 6 years and was about to go out of production. ASC didn't want the name and its connotations anywhere near the GNX and chose not to promote the car's Regal roots. Anyone who lived through those times knows that the vast majority of Regals were not Grand Nationals, but Limiteds with Landau vinyl roofs and wire wheel covers. | |
