Buick GNX Gran Turismo 6 (2013)	Desscythe17 2016-04-29 19:06	Burn Rubber wrote Bravo. You started a Stratum Wars over a stupid Buick. You're over-exaggerating quite a lot. No one is hurling insults at each other, no one is mindlessly editing the car's name back and forth, and it has only generated a couple of comments over the last few hours. I'm positive the name is Regal GNX, just as it is Regal Grand National, although I'm not excluding the possibility that it actually is called GNX.

Buick GNX Gran Turismo 6 (2013)	Noko Tau 2016-04-29 18:02	Oh well that's conclusive. Adverts are always 100% accurate, right? Still a Buick Regal though.
Buick GNX Gran Turismo 6 (2013)	GroupB 2016-04-29 17:45	Buick GNX is the correct name. It was intended as a tribute to the Buick GSX. Just as the GSX was not called Skylark GSX, the GNX was not called Regal GNX. A couple ads from the ASC, the manufacturer: -- Last edit: 2016-04-29 17:47:17

They have a couple of Peugeots and Renaults, but I don't think it's worth your time or money. (Alpine A110, Clio Williams, R5 Turbo, 205 Turbo and the 905 if you are into that) The older Forza games have even less old French cars, although 4 has a couple more modern ones. -- Last edit: 2016-04-29 15:52:50

Buick GNX Gran Turismo 6 (2013)	Noko Tau 2016-04-29 13:55	Mark0 wrote We also have it in Forza. How is called there? And i aw with Desscythe we should rename all of them to Regal GNX. And how all these game developers are vehicle lovers and they don't know real vehicle name... I think you've hit the nail on the head. They're not in it for the cars. They're in it for the money. I mean sure they love some cars. Obviously Polyphony REALLY love their Mazda MX5's . . . heaven help the poor sod who tackles the MX5s . . . prolly gonna be me. But they're not really interested in cars outwith their sphere of understanding. You've probably noticed the token effort around Vauxhall and Opel no mention of Ida-Opel. the little touch of FIAT, Autobianchi and Abarth but no Fiat Automobili Srbija/ Zastava Automobili. They want to pander to just enough people to sell the game to.

Buick GNX Gran Turismo 6 (2013)	Noko Tau 2016-04-29 12:05	Desscythe17 wrote It begs the question though why all of these cars are called Buick GNX on IGCD. Isn't the official name Buick Regal GNX? I thought people just dropped Regal because everyone knows what a GNX is anyway. Nah, Regal GNX owners dropped the 'Regal' because they were too damned proud. 'GNX' sounds cooler than 'Regal'. It would be like someone owning a 1994 1.6 Ford Fiesta but saying "Oh these? These are the keys to my classic Ghia" in a pub. (Yeah . . . I've known people like that in the UK.) And kudos for the correct usage of 'begs the question'. Most people use 'begs the question' when they mean something like 'prompts the question'. Doesn't it wind you up when people do that? If anyone else has missed it he's questioning the circular logic that something is misidentified because it's always misidentified. -- Last edit: 2016-04-29 12:14:41

Buick GNX Gran Turismo 6 (2013)	Burn Rubber 2016-04-29 09:21	Funny. Foreigners say the same thing to Americans. We all have stereotypes I guess.
Buick GNX Gran Turismo 6 (2013)	Noko Tau 2016-04-29 03:44	That'll be why I said "GNX that's been painted yellow." I don't define a car by it's colour. As much as you dislike the notion cars can be repainted. That yellow Regal has GNX style vents in the front wings. Little bit more definitive than the owner's preferred palette.
Volvo 240 Estate Gran Turismo 6 (2013)	Burn Rubber 2016-04-29 02:30	And again, All the wagon versions are listed as Estate.
Buick GNX Gran Turismo 6 (2013)	Burn Rubber 2016-04-29 02:29	As far as I'm aware, The GNX was only avalible in black. Explaining why that was listed as a Regal.
Buick GNX Gran Turismo 6 (2013)	Noko Tau 2016-04-29 02:06	It shouldn't have been changed in the first place. And a mistake repeated is still a mistake. Thing is if someone who really knows about these cars comes along and sees that I've made the entry are going to assume I'm the one that goofed and called it a 'Buick GNX'. And yes. www.igcd.net/vehicle.php?id=83925 Here is a Buick Regal GNX that's been painted yellow (noted as a GNX by the vents in the front wings.)
Volvo 240 Estate Gran Turismo 6 (2013)	Noko Tau 2016-04-29 01:59	Again . . . Estate is not the model. 240 is the model. Estate is the body type. The 240 Series was available in 2 or 4 door saloon (sedan) or estate (station wagon).
Buick GNX Gran Turismo 6 (2013)	Burn Rubber 2016-04-29 01:59	Do you see any other GNXs listed as Regals on IGCD? No? I thought not. There's no need to change it to regal.
Buick GNX Gran Turismo 6 (2013)	Noko Tau 2016-04-29 01:53	They didn't have to change it. The first entry was not only fine it was accurate. They've changed it to an inaccurate version. Thing is I've met GNX purists who pulled this sort of stuff before. They honestly think it's a totally separate car. They don't like being reminded it's a Buick Regal because they think the Regal is below them. This is almost as bad as that one person who smugly corrected me when I correctly identified the 425cc Citroën 2CV as a Type AZ and not a Type A as Polyphony called it. -- Last edit: 2016-04-29 01:54:46
Buick GNX Gran Turismo 6 (2013)	Burn Rubber 2016-04-29 01:40	All others on IGCD are just called GNX. The name is fine.
Buick GNX Gran Turismo 6 (2013)	Noko Tau 2016-04-29 01:38	I know this was going to happen. "It says Buick GNX in the game." Thing is Polyphony don't always get it 100% right. In real life this car is a Buick Regal GNX (Grand National Experimental). As you can see in the link below, for a 1987 Buick Regal Turbo-T, it's same car apart from wheels, trim and edition name. s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/05/a7/ef/05a7eff026ae6807e651c587e3aa8470.jpg It's only Polyphony and crazy Regal GNX purists who think it's a different car. In fact looking over the blurb in the game it even says right there the GNX was the Buick Regal GN's last hurrah. -- Last edit: 2016-04-29 01:42:03
Volvo 240 Estate Gran Turismo 6 (2013)	Noko Tau 2016-04-28 19:10	Yeah . . . my two regrets is that I can't disguise the pixelation on the D-pillar and that I know I can do the intermediate in Deep Forest Raceway, but I just can't without wrinkling it's 'good looks'. She tends to slosh which isn't a bad thing and something I can usually turn to my advantage especially on a technical like this but she's too big and heavy to check mid-slosh without hitting someone. So for that reason you're seeing the Red Bull short ring. -- Last edit: 2016-04-28 19:11:05
Buick GNX Gran Turismo 6 (2013)	Noko Tau 2016-04-28 18:59	Monte Carlo, Grand Prix, Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme were also GM G's, a platform so renowned for it's instability the phrase 'G-Body Shuffle' became coined.
Mitsubishi Airtrek Gran Turismo 6 (2013)	Burn Rubber 2016-04-27 18:49	Yes that also makes issues when taking shots. Badly detailed models. -- Last edit: 2016-04-27 18:49:22
Mitsubishi Airtrek Gran Turismo 6 (2013)	Speedevil 2016-04-27 13:17	I'd say the shots are bad, but that's because the car is poorly detailed, which is a big issue with Gran Turismo.
Mitsubishi Airtrek Gran Turismo 6 (2013)	Burn Rubber 2016-04-27 03:30	Okay to avoid any potential Noko Tau "hur hur Im sooooo much better than u at shots lol the car is so badly colored here's a blurry pic replace it" moments I'm going spend the next ten minutes of my life getting new shots for this.
Citroën 2CV Gran Turismo 6 (2013)	Noko Tau 2016-04-27 00:41	Alternative shots: orig04.deviantart.net/1d41/f/2016/117/d/5/2cv_005_by_truemouse-da0gpac.png orig14.deviantart.net/3c46/f/2016/117/8/0/2cv_006_by_truemouse-da0gqg8.png And yes that's the Red Bull short ring, and yes that's the Beginner Seasonal (450pp), and yes that's a 2001 Honda NSX that's just been put into 2nd by a Citroën 2CV Type AZ, and no, I'm not being a troll. Let me explain. If you want to attempt this the trick is to forget the power. This is not your run of the mill stiffened race machine. Soften the hell outta the suspension, plan your approaches and exits carefully, find your rhythm, don't collide with traffic, use the ORZ's if you have to (remember that in F1 the only rule they have regarding over run zones is that you keep all four wheels in the box when passing the line¹) don't slow down and keep on the accelerator at all times. NEVER BRAKE. I cannot stress this enough. After the chicanes before the back straight you'll notice you'll be catching up when they're braking far too early and far too hard. If you follow these guidelines you should be able to take 14th out of 16 on your first try. Then it's a matter of practise for you to find your own rhythm and you'll get ahead of the traffic and eventually ahead of the AI's 'Hero' car. You should see real 2CV racing some time and you'll see what I mean. Search for "Sparrow 2CV" on Youttube (yeah it's got a BMW R Series but it's still an air cooled flat twin bike engine and most important the running gear is all stock.) And for those few who actually liked my jumping shots . . . look up "Seppe's Jump" on Youttube. ¹ just double checked that. There's been a recent change in F1 rules. The revised regulations for 2016 states drivers “must make every reasonable effort” to stay within track limits and must have a “justifiable reason” if they do leave the track. I think "Not colliding with and killing other drivers and myself" counts as a "justifiable reason". -- Last edit: 2016-05-03 18:22:55

Hyundai HCD6 Gran Turismo 6 (2013)	enzo96 2016-04-27 00:32	Yes TVR are so beautiful, but this car is quite ugly, yeah it's a concept but it's one of the ugliest sports car I've stumbled upon in a while
Mazda Savanna RX-7 Gran Turismo 6 (2013)	Burn Rubber 2016-04-26 23:26	Yes... There's about 20 different Miatas in the dealership.
Mazda Savanna RX-7 Gran Turismo 6 (2013)	Desscythe17 2016-04-26 23:15	Oh Gran Turismo, why must you do this. First they differentiate between premium cars and standard cars, and then they just add standard cars from one game to another without even looking whether the details are correct. Is Gran Turismo 6 just like 5 where they just had the Japanese Mazda Roadster, American MX-5 Miata and the European MX-5 all in the same game? (And ALL of the different versions? (And ALL of the cars with regional differences in names? )) -- Last edit: 2016-04-26 23:15:59
Mitsubishi Airtrek Gran Turismo 6 (2013)	Burn Rubber 2016-04-26 23:11	Motion blur, Autolocking angles, It is buggy AF.
Mitsubishi Airtrek Gran Turismo 6 (2013)	Desscythe17 2016-04-26 23:10	Burn Rubber wrote Do you realize the camera locks to this angle and is about impossible to change when taking a pic from this area? That's why it looks like this. It would take about 5 minutes of fine tuning to change it to that way! I agree with the edit from my comment you didn't see. I guess that's a complaint with the game's photo mode then.

Do you know if the steering wheel is on the left or right side? It might be a mistake in regional versions, as it was called RX-7 outside of Japan. They might have switched the steering wheel to the other side but forgot to alter the text on the rear.
