Toyota Corolla Levin

World's Scariest Police Chases (2001)
The car really does resemble an Alero from several angles.
Chevrolet Caprice

Cruis'n USA (1994)
This traffic car was also a playable, unlockable vehicle, like the Jeep and the school bus.
Jeep Wrangler

This Jeep was a playable unlockable vehicle.

Yep, 1967.

Agreed on F-150.
Ferrari 250 GTO

Looks like a 1964 250 GTO to me.
Jeep Comanche

1986-1992 Jeep Comanche.
Toyota Corolla

Need for Speed: Underground 2 (2004)
Wasn't this listed as a Corolla GTS in the game? It's been a while since I played it, so I don't remember.
Matford V8-48 Cabriolet

Rinspeed: It's my understanding that U.S. cars were fairly common in France prior to the 1970s.
Matford V8-48 Cabriolet

The Saboteur (2009)
Reminds me of a 1935 Ford Model 48 Phaeton.
Chevrolet Corvette ZR1

Forza Motorsport 3 (2009)
I was under the impression that it only came with the "limited edition" version of the game.
Chevrolet Bel Air

Motor City Online (2001)
1958 Chevrolet Impala, according to the official car list for the game.

Technically, it's a Bel Air Impala, since Impala wasn't a separate model name until 1959.
Chevrolet K-10

Left 4 Dead 2 (2009)
This one is a K10 half-ton pickup, not a Blazer.
Toyota Hilux

Medal of Honor (2010)
Looks like a Toyota Tacoma (or I guess Hilux, depending on where this is set).
De Soto Airstream

Detroit (1994)
Looks to me like a 1934 Hupmobile Aerodynamic.
Made for Game Convertible

Detroit (1994)
This game is from 1993, so it predates the Shebly Series 1.
Ford Crown Victoria

Ford Crown Victoria.
Pontiac Bonneville

Terminator 3: War of the Machines (2003)
Looks like a Ford Contour to me.
Buick Skylark

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (2004)
It does very strongly favor a 1968 Pontiac GTO.
Chevrolet Impala

Dead to Rights: Retribution (2010)
It looks like a 2000-2005 Impala with Malibu taillights added.
Dodge Sprinter

Dead to Rights: Retribution (2010)
Looks like a Dodge or Mercedes Sprinter with a generic grille and headlight combination added.
Chevrolet Corvette

E.O.S.: Exhibition of Speed (2001)
The front is a little screwy, but everything else resembles a Chevrolet Corvette [C5].
Made for Game Custom Vehicle

Top Gear Rally (1997)
Known as the "Cupra" in game...had the same performance stats as the Toyota Supra. One of the strangest unlockable cars I've ever seen in a racing game.
Ford Customline Club Coupe

Mafia II (2010)
It's a 1952-1954 Ford, probably a Customline.

This is a 1968 model, returning from the previous game.

Hey, it was world-class for the time period.
Volkswagen Rabbit

Forza Motorsport 3 (2009)
Every modern "hot hatch" owes something to the Golf/Rabbit GTI. It's a worthy addition to any racing game.

@Bean Bandit: Knowing the Forza series, they'll probably have the North American Rabbit and the European Golf both in the game, the same way they had both the Acura Integra and the Honda Integra in the last one.
Plymouth Belvedere

Hot Rod: Garage to Glory (2004)
That's a 1964 Plymouth Belvedere...same one that was used in the previous entry in the series, Hot Rod: American Street Drag.
Audi Sport quattro

Forza Motorsport 3 (2009)
Living in a rural area, I can't connect to Xbox Live (since cable internet is not available), so this was one of many downloadable cars for Forza 2 that I always wanted and couldn't get. I'm glad to see them working it into Forza 3, too.

Hopefully they'll include some of the other good ones, as well, like the BMW M3 E30, BMW 3.0 CSL, 1973 Pontiac Trans Am, Lamborghini Miura, Renault 5 Turbo, and 1970 Dodge Challenger.
Ford Mainline

Mafia II (2010)
It's another 1957 Ford.
Toyota Celica

Live for Speed (2005)
If I've said it once I'll say it a million times: Unlicensed video game cars are generally based on one particular car, with certain parts altered to disguise it. Sometimes those altered parts resemble another car, which is exactly why you have to LEARN how to overlook the SMALL details.

First of all, what on this car resembles a Supra? Other than the headlights and side scoops, pretty much nothing. What resembles a Celica? How about the doors, the hood, the general profile, the rear wing, the rear fascia, the grille, and the fact that the performance is MODELED on a 4 cylinder, AWD car. But it must be a Supra, I take it, because the headlights kind of look like one?

It's a Celica, guys. Get over it.

Ford Mustang

Forza Motorsport 3 (2009)
Sadly, this appears to be the only muscle car so far that wasn't in the last Forza game. Someone needs to remind game makers that there were muscle cars OTHER than GTOs, Mustangs, Camaros, Chevelles, Barracudas, and Chargers.

Still, a Fox-body does make for a nice addition to the series.
Chevrolet Impala

JFK Reloaded (2004)
1962.
Chevrolet Impala

JFK Reloaded (2004)
It's a 1962.
AMC Javelin

Driver: Parallel Lines (2006)
I'm wondering how many of you have actually played this game and seen the car from multiple angles, instead of just looking at this one picture.

The ENTIRE SHAPE OF THE CAR is 1971-1972 Plymouth B-body. It even has the "strobe" stripe and 1972-spec "340" hood callouts. The ONLY THINGS THAT ARE CHANGED are the grille/headlight combination and the taillights. Both are parts of the car that game designers CHANGE to make the cars appear GENERIC.

To say that the car looks an AMC Javelin just because the grille and headlights are similar is absurd, as it overlooks every other part of the vehicle. You guys really have to start paying attention to the overall shape, as opposed to just fixating on one aspect of the vehicle.

Chevrolet Nova

Stuntman Ignition (2007)
As I said, it looks identical *apart* from the rear passenger's compartment being too short. That includes the quarter window.

In any case, NO part of the car looks like a 1968 Nova. Not even the quarter window (too narrow here - find a 1968-1972 Nova pic from a better angle than the one you posted and it becomes obvious).

Datsun 510

It looks great, and a welcome addition to the series.

Now, to just get it in sky blue, slammed low, on 16" gunmetal-colored Konig Rewinds. :miam:

It's actually a 1973.

Their is barely any resemblance on a Viva or a Dart on this car. Not to be rude.


You sure about that? autotraderblog.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/vauxhall-viva1.jpg

Apart from the rear passenger's compartment being shorter in the in-game car, they look nearly identical to me.
Chevrolet Nova

Looks like a Vauxhall Viva to me.

Looks like we have a winner.
Infiniti G35

True Crime: New York City (2005)
IIRC, the GT-R concept was already out at that point, so it may have had an inspiration.

Personally, I think it's supposed to be an Infiniti G-35.
Nihon Nainenki Type 95 Kurogane

Battlefield 1943 (2009)
This one is bugging me. It's undoubtedly some sort of Japanese roadster from the pre-war era, but apparently the only Japanese brands making cars during this time were Toyoda (later Toyota), Datsun, and Isuzu. Although information about 1930s Japanese cars is almost as sparse as the cars themselves, none of the models that I've found information on look like this one.

The fact that early Japanese cars were based directly on foreign cars (the Toyoda AA sedan was just a reverse-engineered Chrysler Airflow, and Isuzu got its start building British Wolseleys under license), it could be originally based on a European roadster of some type, further confusing things.

M4 Sherman. I'm unsure if it's the Ford or Fisher model.
