Hmm...maybe we should ask Polyphony to put it in Gran Turismo 7...Kaz said himself in a interview that he'd love to have the fans suggest car manufacturers to put in their cars in Gran Turismo :lol: Doubt it though...isn't Hino now just a truck manufacturer? And actually getting one for reference for is hard, since they seem to be a rare car.

I'm sure there are still a couple around Japan, and I'm sure Kaz is able to get his hands on one. Hino is indeed a truck manufacturer ever since 1967, when they joined the Toyota Group.

It actually has its basis in the Renault Dauphine. Before the Contessa, Hino built the Renault 4CV under license.

It kind of looks like an alternate universe version of a Chevrolet Corvair, to be honest.

I swear, it's ridiculous how few games feature this car. It's one of the pioneers of Japanese automotive industry! I at least expected Gran Turismo to give it some love, but nope.

I wish the Contessa was better-known.
