| JFK wrote But the question is what year is it? Perhaps Tuppence (who gave us the informations about Thrust 2) will know it? Hard to say since it's been in development for a while and it technically isn't finished yet, but its first runway test is scheduled for this year, so 2016? The Coventry Transport Museum where Thrust 2 and Thrust SSC are kept only has a full-scale K-NEX model of the Bloodhound at the moment, but I'm sure that once it completes its official run it should end up there. Ferat Vampire looks interesting but I can't seem to find a good English translation of it. Just look at YouTube's attempt: i.imgur.com/TLRcIND.png | ||
| speedfreak975 wrote No this car is gorgeous and now because of the VW scandal it no longer exists You sure about that? As far as I know and can find, the EXP 10 has been greenlit for production. Since it was unlikely to be offered in diesel form anyway, I doubt it would be affected by the scandal. | ||
| Lombax wrote All the other 'Stria' cars in the game are based on Fiat models and the Italian Polizia use both the Leon and Punto, so they're a bit interchangeable in that regard. As I've said elsewhere, Fiat and SEAT are very closely related brands and prior to 1982, all SEAT models were rebadged Fiats. Although the Leon is not strictly Fiat-related, many of Stria's cars could be easily considered SEAT models, including the Stria Infimo S (SEAT/Fiat 124), Stria Cucciola (SEAT/Fiat 600) and Stria Carera (possible SEAT Ibiza). | ||
| All JDM means is that a car conforms to Japanese traffic regulations, so technically the most "JDM" car out there would be the Daihatsu Midget... | ||
| Zordid wrote This is a Vector W8 Twin Turbo, only the rear is from the Countach If you're going to make changes like this, at least have the courtesy to change all variants of this car from the game and not just one of them. Currently we have 4 Countach listings and 1 Vector for essentially the same car.

| The Nightshade Camaro also has its Firebird sister car, in fact it's the most famous generation of Firebird there is... And Stria is clearly a mix of FIAT and SEAT, just like how Autostraad refers to many German makes. -- Last edit: 2015-12-09 11:57:43 | ||
| Burn Rubber wrote And the Stria Joia. A Seat Leon. Looks like you need to brush up on your car history a little. Although SEAT is now part of the VW group, it started out as a Spanish constructor of FIAT models, and remained that way until the two companies had a dispute in 1982, followed by the VW takeover in 1983. Pontiac on the other hand is very closely related to Chevrolet as they are both brand names controlled by GM. The only Imponte currently listed as Chevrolet is the Ruiner, which is based on a Chevrolet Camaro - a car that shares almost everything with its sister car, the Pontiac Firebird. | ||
| Actually it's more likely to be the bodykit from the new and hideously ugly Toyota Mirai | ||
| I guess that does clear things up. I was disappointed that you appeared to disregard the value of my work. I had tried very hard to keep it as fair as possible, as with all vehicles in these games, this is a mixture. Personally, I don't believe the taillights, black plastic and wagon area (all of which have to be modified to match up to the Stratum) are more notable than the wealth of details that match perfectly with the Skyline. I'm still a little confused about the beige line you're talking about, since the beige line is on the hood. Perhaps you mean the pale green line that runs the length of the car? That does appear on the Stratum in the same spot as the Skyline (which I had previously explained as the feature that sold me on the Skyline), but it's not visible under certain lighting conditions. You can see it more clearly here: ![]() Also, here's something I'd wanted to do before but didn't have a good base image for - an overlay of what could be attributed to Subaru or Skyline within the Stratum. Obviously, this doesn't account for elements not visible in side view. Skyline is represented in red, Subaru in blue, places where both could apply are purple and places that don't match either are black: -- Last edit: 2015-12-06 22:52:40 | ||
| Tycek wrote because right now it seems that car will be identify as person who screams the loudest wants. Tycek, I'm not going to dignify that with a full response. I'm fully aware of the points you're making, because I've made them myself. If you want your answers, go back and look for them and stop wasting my time. | ||
| Not sure why you guys aren't seeing the GT-R in this, since it has the headlights, cabin and proportions right. | ||

| Burn Rubber wrote I thought that but its not really The side window, wheel design (it really is identical) and the way the taillight is sticks out when looking from the front, strongly suggest Veloster. | ||
| Tycek wrote Not to be picky, but you took wrong Subaru to comparison. It's actually this one: www.curbsideclassic.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/CIMG0449.jpg with the black stipes on doors and front bumper, which are obviously present on Stratum as well (just slightly longered). Line of the back narrowing right below the window also seems, to fit as well as some minor details. I had mentioned the black plastic on the rear shot, and it is one of few details that does seem similar with the Subaru, however there is a lot more in common with the Skyline. Not only that but the plastic on the Stratum runs around the whole car, but on the Subaru there are large gaps between the front/rear and the wheel arches, so I wouldn't say it's a close match and certainly not enough to disregard everything else. As for the window thing, I think you're talking about the curve between the C-pillar and the bottom of the rear window? I had marked that on the frontal shot but forgot to add it at the rear. From the front it appears to match with both vehicles, but from the rear it was hard to deduce the effect on the Skyline since it has no window to use as a frame of reference. | ||

| JFK wrote http://i.imgur.com/8H8iPNw.gif?1 I think morph gif is quite clear, I hope I saved some Tuppences time. Thanks for that . Although the morph doesn't seem to be working perfectly at the rear, that's saved me a lot of time and probably done a better job than what I've finally cobbled together.I had wanted to go a bit further with this one, but I figured I'd just get something quick done before I put it off again. Although I am supporting the Nissan (with good reason), I've tried to give the Subaru a fair chance. ![]() ![]() As you can see, there is a lot at the front of this vehicle that points towards Skyline, not just the headlights. Most notably is the feature line down the side, which runs an identical course both in-game and in reality, and is paired with a similarly identical shoulder over the rear wheel. The shape of the cabin area between the A and C pillars is very similar (although the Nissan is obviously missing a D-pillar), with geometric edges surrounding the sides and a roof that begins flat at the top of the windscreen. The hood bends downward in a single, flowing arc, and it has a bulge in the centre that runs the length of the hood, but doesn't reach the headlights/grille. ![]() ![]() The Subaru, while similar, has almost no influence on the front. The Subaru does have a feature line on the side, but it begins much earlier at the headlight, rather than the front wheel. Similarly, the Subaru lacks an additional shoulder line over the rear wheel. The Subaru's cabin is similar, but much more rounded in its approach. Notably, the roof still rises higher above the windscreen, as it is slightly domed. The side windows follow suit, but also have curved and right-angled bottoms to their lines, while the Stratum has sharp, triangular angles. There is also a new line present that runs parallel to the curved base of the windscreen, terminating almost a third of the way into the hood. This is not a feature of the Stratum. The hood is also flatter, but with a more noticeable curve downwards at the front end, while the hood bulge is wider and runs to the bottom of the grille. As for the D-pillar (the wagon part), while it is present on the Subaru (unlike the Nissan), it follows a different shape to the Stratum. The Stratum's trunk is much longer and curves gracefully to the back, while the Subaru's is short and stubby, creating a higher angle with the rear. Neither vehicle has the front bumper of the Stratum, although the shape is possibly similar to the Nissan and the indicator position is possibly similar to the Subaru. ![]() ![]() As we move rearward, some differences appear with the Skyline, but it is still faithful. The relative positions and distances between elements like the bottom of the window, both top edges of the bumper, taillight positions and the position of the indented line are very similar between the Stratum and Skyline. Text and badging also appear in similar positions (although Stratum/Skyline appear on opposite sides of the indented line). The "STRATUM" font is also similar to the "SKYLINE" font. The taillights do show some differences. The pattern is not the same, despite a similar outline. Also, the Stratum's lights curve around the side more than the Skyline's. The shape of this rear area is also different, as the Skyline's is a smooth curve, while the Stratum has a straight-up followed by a sharper curve. While it is proportionally correct, the bumpers are quite different, as the Skyline's cuts away earlier and doesn't feature a plastic strip. Details like license plate positions and exhausts are identical across all 3 cars. ![]() ![]() The Subaru does appear to be similar in some areas. These include the bumper, which is now taller and has plastic strips. But this is also deeper, along with other elements like taillights and the indented line, which are no longer positioned with the Stratum as successfully as the Skyline was. While the word "SUBARU" is positioned correctly, it is not as wide as on the Stratum and all other text is incorrectly placed. The taillight pattern, although visually similar, is not identical. The shape does wrap around the sides, but is shorter on the back face and is sometimes right-angled rather than curved. The wagon issues brought up earlier are now more obvious, as the Subaru's rear windscreen rises almost vertically while the Stratum's curves away dramatically to a horizontal plane. However, the shape of the area below is similar, with a curved shape followed by a flatter one. ![]() And now we move to one final detail. Some variants of the Stratum (those with a spoiler), claim that a 2.6l Twin Turbo sits under the hood. Only one production car has ever left a factory with that engine. That engine is the Nissan RB26DETT, which was used in the Nissan Skyline GT-R from 1989-2002. As I said previously, this car is a mix of Japanese sports sedans, including the Subaru, but predominantly the Nissan Skyline R32 Sedan is king. If my work here doesn't convince you, I'm afraid nothing will. But let's hope for the best. ![]() | ||

| Tycek wrote I wasn't the one changing the Stratum back and forth, I changed it twice iirc (once to Subaru and once to MFG), so stop for Christ's sake trying to turn me into some crazy bad guy here running amok and changing cars to whatever he seems to like. But you did still change it back to both Subaru and MFG at a time when the generally accepted consensus was for Skyline, just because you personally didn't see it. Need I remind you that you referred to my carefully constructed evidence as "I'm right just because, and you're wrong", and that this is not the only time that you've blatantly ignored the evidence in favour of your own opinions. As for anybody complaining in caps lock and exclamation marks, please just stop. Apparently we can't have a sensible discussion around here without somebody calling it a war. We're here to identify cars, so a heated debate about the identity of cars is hardly a problem. And although I've run out of time tonight, I should be able to finally complete the Stratum stratagem tomorrow or at the weekend. I had wanted things to calm down a little before I posted it, but clearly the longer I leave this, the worse it's going to get. -- Last edit: 2015-12-04 00:30:57 | ||
| And here goes the biggest debate on IGCD - can game developers create new body styles for real cars? The simple answer is yes, because these are not real vehicles, they are lines of code tied to a 3D model and some textures. Since these cars are not licensed, the developer is free to do whatever they want with the car, hence why we get cars like the Surano - a Mercedes SLS with Jaguar F-Type details. Here, we are looking at an Aston Martin V12 Zagato (check all of the rear details: body shape, lights, side vents, side windows, bumper, etc.) with some Ferrari-ish details slapped on and a unique convertible roof added, before it gets pushed under the Grotti name, the equivalent of Ferrari. Like the Coil Voltic, which is a Lotus Elise implied to be a Tesla Roadster, the Grotti Carbonizzare is an Aston Martin pretending to be a Ferrari California, so should be listed as the Aston. On a side note, I'd like to point out the double standards of our old friend Tycek, who is perfectly happy with this convertible Zagato, but still can't come to terms with a wagon Skyline (*hint, hint*). -- Last edit: 2015-12-03 20:07:04 | ||
| Same argument as in the Stratum case, but although there is no F-100 wagon, the vehicle shown here is still clearly based on the F-100 Panel Van already in the game, so is therefore not a Made for Game, but a Panel Van with windows on it. | ||
| I don't want to sound rude, but with every complaint you're making here, you're just putting more fuel on the fire. You've somehow created an argument about having arguments. Unless you've actually got something to say about the car, calm down and avoid the caps lock key. -- Last edit: 2015-11-29 19:38:16 | ||
| Your caps lock to exclamation mark ratio is off the charts, and you posted 5 times on this page last night, practically overreacting to every comment that got posted. -- Last edit: 2015-11-29 18:26:51 | ||
| I guess that explains it, but the new car is quite different to that car. I shouldn't have to say this, but we should identify cars based on what they are currently, not what they were in previous iterations. And honestly, this is much less of a s**tshow than Burn Rubber is making it out to be.. -- Last edit: 2015-11-29 18:09:22 | ||
| Black Bart wrote Wasn't this fine enough being a Honda? Because it has no relation to the Honda. Not really sure how it got that identification in the first place. As previously established, it is entirely a Nissan Skyline R32 Sedan aside from the obvious wagon section. For some, that is enough to say that it could never be a Skyline, and were pushing the similar but arguably less accurate Subaru Impreza Wagon. Because no agreement was made, it has remained as Made for Game. I had planned to create and post a detailed analysis to prove this once and for all, but I've been very pressed for time due to work. Maybe once that work is over (December 5th), I'll finally be able to sort this thing out. -- Last edit: 2015-11-29 16:48:47 | ||
| For those who didn't catch it, I'm about a week away from this damn work deadline that's been holding back my free time. Once that's over, I'll try to explain this in the clearest way I can using whatever I need. It might be a little anticlimactic after the wait, but it should be enough to explain the reality of this car. | ||

| My point is that they could've got it wrong. The Man from U.N.C.L.E. features this 1984 Trabant, but the movie is set in 1963. Film makers and game developers get these things wrong all the time, so it could theoretically be any vehicle released before 2013, regardless of whether it fits the stated time period or not. And we already know the HVY Cutter is based on a Made for Movie from Die Hard: With a Vengeance. | ||
| Moorehead Rides Again is not a real 1947 tv show... it's a 2013 fake tv show made for a game. So it's entirely possible that this is a Marathon. | ||
| Definitely some sort of 60's racecar given the lights and straps on the bodywork. Definitely not a Z8. | ||

| Or we just haven't found it yet. Given that almost every other car in this game is based on a real vehicle (with the only exceptions being generic race cars), I'd wager that this car is not MFG. | ||
| The cabin is the correct shape (although exaggerated), the side vent is the correct shape and position, the door is the correct shape and position, the rear bumper is the correct shape and position, the front bumper is the correct position, the sides are the correct shape, the taillight is the correct position and the headlight is the correct position (and the shape is copied from other vehicles in this game). The spoiler isn't right, but that's about it. | ||
| But it is. The cabin is exaggerated, but the bottom half is a near carbon copy. | ||
| Fiat X1/9? -- Last edit: 2015-11-21 01:02:35 | ||
| Agreed, but it looks like my TRX request is still outstanding. Might have to come change it back if Rinspeed approves my edit. | ||
| Aston Martin DB5 - the name "secret agent" is a dead giveaway. | ||
| Jaguar D-Type? |

. Although the morph doesn't seem to be working perfectly at the rear, that's saved me a lot of time and probably done a better job than what I've finally cobbled together.
