 Prince Skyline Sport Gran Turismo 6 (2013) | Noko Tau wrote Wasn't sure about naming this MK I since this certainly isn't the first Prince Skyline. There were six variations before it. Giovanni Michelotti's¹ BLRA-3 might be based on Takuya Himura#s S21s but obviously significantly different enough to warrant a new chassis/ body code. ¹ Of Ferrari, Maserati & Triumph fame. Mark I is correct. | |

 Volkswagen 1200 Gran Turismo 6 (2013) | yeah obviously in situation where we can't identify the engine then just leave it as VW Typ 1, many people put them just as Beetles which isnt correct | |
Volkswagen 1200 Gran Turismo 6 (2013) | JFK wrote Of coure nobody will list all of them as 1200, that is for sure. Beetles that are capable of identyfiing will be listed with their proper name and other ones will be listed without any model name .gif ":)") Fair enough! | |
Volkswagen 1200 Gran Turismo 6 (2013) | GroupB wrote What I'm saying is classifying all early Beetles as "1200" is incorrect, because the engine size varied.

 Plymouth 'Cuda Gran Turismo 6 (2013) | Plymouth did not use the Six Pack name; that was Dodge only. Also, "V8" was never called out because there were no lesser engines. A V8 was standard on the 'Cuda model for all 6 years it was offered. -- Last edit: 2016-05-09 20:32:32 | |

Took the words right out of my mouth. VW called this 1200, Beetle was a nickname given by the customers that VW resisted for such a long time. | |

Volkswagen 1200 Gran Turismo 6 (2013) | Just remember that 1200 is simply the displacement, not the model name, and it increased over the lifespan of the car. In addition, it varied depending what market the car was sold in. For example, all 1966 Beetles were 1300s in the USA: Usually there is a rhyme and reason to the way things are organized on this site, even if it may not be immediately apparent to new users. -- Last edit: 2016-05-09 16:47:39 | |
Volkswagen 1200 Gran Turismo 6 (2013) | Noko Tau wrote I'd agree with the Baja Bug and that the A4 Beetles can't really be called 'New', especially since there's an A5 Beetle. And I see your point about future entries completely ignoring these facts. I think you're misinterpreting the name "New Beetle". It doesn't have to be the new and current model, all it is is a modern version of the classic Volkswagen commonly known as the Beetle. Volkswagen always refers to this car (the A4 Beetle) as "New Beetle", so I think listing it as simply Beetle is wrong. | |
Volkswagen 1200 Gran Turismo 6 (2013) | Noko Tau wrote heavier gauge steel Is that a term for sheet metal? | |

And I see your point about future entries completely ignoring these facts. (Technically speaking it's the PQ34/9C and PQ35/16 but I reckon people might get confused with that annotation especially if it ever comes to PQ46 and PL46 platforms.) And VAZ 2101-2107s rocked. Hardly any left in the UK They were largely bought and brought back to Russia 'cause the UK spec ones used heavier gauge steel from Ravenscraig. You could say just like IRN BRU they were 'Made in Scotland from Girders'  | |
 Nissan Skyline GT-R Gran Turismo 6 (2013) | That's a tricky one to shoot. Either the lights are lost in the daytime or the bottom half is lost in the night. Did you add lighting effects to accentuate the flashing lights? | |
 Chevrolet Impala NASCAR Gran Turismo 6 (2013) | Mr. Motorsports wrote Go Tony! Yup-yup. Although I'm amazed no-one's said "You shouldn't have said this was a playable car, I can only buy the 2013 cars." Which is also kind of the reason I decided to finish them all off with two 2011 cars that I had clearly bought and the matching outfit. I should have done this with Tony's 2010 car though. I kinda dig the front splitter of the 2010 Old Spice/ Office Depot car. | |
Volkswagen 1200 Gran Turismo 6 (2013) | I am adding only these "old" beetles as Volkswagen [Typ 1] And you know what, I can spend one afternoon changing all "old" beetles to only Volkswagens (because I dont know much about them). The real trouble here is that if somebody will add a new "beetle", he/she will list it incorrectly much like Lada Riva. Done. If we exlude Beetle Baja Bugs, which is best term for them (not a factory cars), all old beetles are now listed without model name. Perhaps for the more recognisable examples we can list them by their proper name and with the other ones we could leave then as they are now or add "Beetle" to "Extra info" -- Last edit: 2016-05-04 15:43:42 | |
Volkswagen 1200 Gran Turismo 6 (2013) | Noko Tau wrote Only ever unofficially known as the Beetle. Was never the model name. Model is 1200. This is why I put 'Beetle' in extra info. Would be nice if it registered who made these changes so people don't think I believed this car had 'Beetle' written on the back, or the 2000 Beetles had 'New Beetle' on the back of them. The 2000s models had nothing on the back, but I do believe that they were officially known as the New Beetle. I remember an article stating that Volkswagen specifically changed the name to Beetle when they introduced the 3rd generation. | |

 Volkswagen Bora Gran Turismo 6 (2013) | Does the 'Typ' refer to the platform (chassis) or the body? | |
 Volkswagen New Beetle Gran Turismo 6 (2013) | Can we change the "A4(PQ34) /" to "A4/ 9C" ? | |

 Lamborghini Countach Gran Turismo 6 (2013) | Chose Bianco Labrador to match the first picture. Very ungainly car though. There was a very fine line to be driven to get to 1st without scratches. | |
 Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ2 Gran Turismo 6 (2013) | Automotive Gaming wrote Argh, I've edited it but forgot to change the class to Racecar. And accidentaly left the chassis code "CN.AR750106" which is related only to this specific TZ2, since it's "105.11" instead for all the Giulia TZ1 and TZ2 models. Removed the "Coachbuilt by Zagato" info since it's useless as TZ means "Tubolare Zagato" already. Well I'd agree the chassis code should be '105.11' if this were a generic car since that would be, as you say, for all the Giulia TZ1 & TZ2 models, but this looks to me like a very particular car with a very particular history. That particular car was what I was presenting. Even Polyphony present it as "CN.AR750106" and not a generic Alfa TZ1/ TZ2. And when they do their research outside of their comfort zone regarding cars . . . then it must be important. Polyphony even thought it wise to include "carrozzata da ZAGATO" in the description in case 'TZ' didn't quite convey this. If you think the average player from American or Japan is going to automatically know that 'TZ' means 'Coachbuilt by Zagato' then sure, go for the change. I, however, have my doubts. | |
 Volvo 240 Estate Gran Turismo 6 (2013) | No, even Polyphony has listed it as "Volvo 240 GLT Estate" not "Volvo 240 Estate GLT" That is to say Make = Volvo Model = 240 Edition = GLT Body type = Estate (break, wagon) and Year = 1988 The reason wagons are listed as estate is because estate is another name for wagon. It is not the car's name, it's a description. This 240 that happens to be in estate form. -- Last edit: 2016-05-02 17:38:39 | |
 Gran Turismo 6 (2013) | They named it Road Car but its still a concept. It was originally planned to built 6 cars, but this idea was rejected. Btw, road version is 2009 model year. | |

 Chevrolet SS NASCAR Gran Turismo 6 (2013) | Automotive Gaming wrote Just delete this if the other entry has 2 pics instead of one already submitted I guess, I just didn't mean to replace this guy's entry. I didn't notice it when I made the other. When I spotted this one I figured the other would have been put on hold so I added to this guy's views.

 Buick GNX Gran Turismo 6 (2013) | Maxine wrote Doubt ill ever get to own a GNX, still I want to point out that nobody calls a GNX a Regal, even if it really is one, Same as when you say you drive a regal, Nobody stright away thinks, Ah a GNX? Kinda like if we listed the BMW M3 as a 3 series? wich also dont happen. just pointing out there. Exactly. The Regal was a conservative, plush, luxury coupe for middle-aged people. It hadn't been updated in 6 years and was about to go out of production. ASC didn't want the name and its connotations anywhere near the GNX and chose not to promote the car's Regal roots. Anyone who lived through those times knows that the vast majority of Regals were not Grand Nationals, but Limiteds with Landau vinyl roofs and wire wheel covers. | |
Buick GNX Gran Turismo 6 (2013) | ahh, I dunno whats been going on but I really miss my G-body, Been gone for a year now :P Still way nicer to drive than any of the plastic cars they do nowdays, Doubt ill ever get to own a GNX, still I want to point out that nobody calls a GNX a Regal, even if it really is one, Same as when you say you drive a regal, Nobody stright away thinks, Ah a GNX?

Buick GNX Gran Turismo 6 (2013) | Mark0 wrote If the advertisements are correct then what about this? Which one is correct? I guess Yugo is a name for US and foreign market while Jugo is original domestic name. Jugo sounds very silly when someone says it in english. The proper way to spell this make is "yugo" so it's called Yugo in USA. | |
Chevrolet Impala NASCAR Gran Turismo 6 (2013) | These were the last NASCAR car photographs I took. Too tired to race 'em around so I figured it'd be easier to buy a second one and do the photo thingy that Rubber usually does. Dressed up in period suit too. | |
Chevrolet SS NASCAR Gran Turismo 6 (2013) | I didn't know the other one was going to go through to be honest. So I guess one of these has to be deleted? I'd hate to scrub out the previous conversation though. | |
Buick GNX Gran Turismo 6 (2013) | 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) | Oh well that's conclusive. Adverts are always 100% accurate, right? Still a Buick Regal though. | |
Buick GNX Gran Turismo 6 (2013) | 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 | |
Buick GNX Gran Turismo 6 (2013) | Noko Tau wrote I really need to get a new xBox, huh? Do they have any cool old French cars in Forza now? 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) | 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) | 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 |
