The most unloved Poncho in a videogame?

It still baffles me to this day that this game is still the only one to ever feature a licensed Pontiac LeMans of any kind, especially that of its Chevelle platform which this vehicle is based on. :/

Sure, the French Connection use made this car iconic as the movie itself had the very car (though it was a sedan), but I wish this got more attention.

I really wish the '71-72 LeMans was in more racing games, especially Forza and Gran Turismo. :(

That isn't true Vxctec. Look at these examples below:

igcd.net/vehicle.php?id=261104 (Forza Horizon 5)

Modern ones are getting more attention such as the second gen model of the TT RS being in more games.
igcd.net/vehicle.php?id=263899
igcd.net/vehicle.php?id=298907

Even GT7 has a first-gen Audi TT, though they don't have a TT RS. See below.

They really should have implemented an airport in the game from a long time ago, although I don't think there would be an accessible runway.

You should really get over your fixation of replying to old comments. That comment was written 12 years ago. Just because someone has an active account years ago doesn't mean they are actively commenting. Big difference.

I'm not sure why Ubi wanted a airport-designed firetruck in the first place, but I suppose an airport used as a map would cost too much and/or to save memory.

My question is, what's the difference between Zephyr and MKZ, other than the name? Is there something on this model that would indicate this should be listed as a MKZ, and not a Zephyr?


They have some minor differences, the most noticeable is that the MKZ has a horizontal line on the grille.
Zephyr: imcdb.org/vehicle_67015-Lincoln-Zephyr-CD378-2006.html
MKZ: imcdb.org/vehicle_456839-Lincoln-MKZ-CD378-2007.html

However, the ASYM Desanne has a generic mesh grille, so this is irrelevant in this case.

Exactly, so it still is an MKZ, regardless of what is has been called before. The ''Z'' in MKZ still stands for Zephyr.

Sorry, but what sort of logic is that? If it was called "Zephyr" for that model year then it should be listed as "Zephyr", regardless of whatever the nameplate was changed to in the following years. And if there is no certain year given in a game (like for an unlicensed model like this), the first year that that model was produced in real world is what we list it as here, at least that's how it used to be IIRC.

My question is, what's the difference between Zephyr and MKZ, other than the name? Is there something on this model that would indicate this should be listed as a MKZ, and not a Zephyr?

That doesn't prove anything. Besides we know that is how it's been since 2006. It doesn't make much of a difference in how it would be named since unlicensed cars are not 1:1 of how they're represented. On this site we use the first model year (not production year) of the vehicle's introduction.




It's not gettin' changed to MKZ. Thank you for understanding.

No, Zephyr is the corrent name. It went on sale in 2006 under the Zephyr name, then it got renamed to MKZ in 2007.

We do know why it happened, but the sad thing is, nothing you say is going to change it. The fact remains that Ubisoft completely broke the franchise after San Francisco. Small wonder why this game has no DLC content. :/

Ubi Reflections even died off afterwards, and whatever fragments of the game's formula went to Watch Dogs.

And Speedboat Paradise was the coup de grace, as Antti-San said before. Critics and reviews were not kind, as they gave scathing reviews and essentially doomed this IP to the graveyard.


This was a tragedy like nothing else.

That's incorrect. The MKZ name wasn't used until 2007 at the very least. Lincoln did use the Zephyr name in 2006, and this IMCDb entry says otherwise: www.imcdb.org/vehicle_67015-Lincoln-Zephyr-CD378-2006.html

Sadly it was done at the request of Bentley. Mulsanne is very much opulent and there's a reason why most devs go for unlicensed variants of the car that was recently departed.

Some brands are very, very protective of how they're portrayed. Kinda like how the Bentley additions in Forza have been slow.

Arnage itself is very underappreciated. Forza Horizon 5 would love this too, since we also happen to have the Turbo R, its predecessor.

The body of this truck is far too curvy for the T600. The Volvo VNL is a closer alternative to this than any Kenworth because of the triangular headlights and the grille which differs from the regular Kenworth ones. Nothing here shows anything matching a T600 truck.

It ended after this game because it took a very long time to make, cost a lot of money and didn't make it back. Or at least it wasn't profitable enough to warrant a sequel...

Actually Ubisoft abandoned the franchise replacing it by Watch Dogs, i heard in some place the first Watch Dogs should be a new Driver game before the project changed.

It actually ended with a horrible speedboat game that had nothing to do with Driver.

Driver: SF was a good game, but Ubisoft Reflections didn't have any passion to make a sequel. You know how the story goes and Watch Dogs was christened in its place.

Still a huge difference between making a look-a-like model and having a licensed one, with all the legalese involved.

Or, it could be a sign that they've lost all creativity (in GTA V's example) and decided to make shameless rip-offs of the IRL cars.

And regarding this car: Visually, I don't see a MKZ in this. Rather, this would have to be MFG since pretty much every vehicle that's not a Class 8 truck in this game is licensed.

So, is this model not a look-a-like of the Lincoln but fictionalized? Yes, it is. All I know is that there are games that make vehicles that are fictional, but bear similar resemblances to the real versions.

The Driver video game franchise is about driving any vehicle you want, taking part of being the undercover cop, defeating your main rival, drive types of vehicles like speedboats, motorcycles, karts, sports car, trucks, muscle cars, and hot rods.
