PurpleRain666 2023-04-14 02:04	Yugo 45?
Speedevil 2017-03-01 12:45	Nice find. I guess that makes it a MG Metro then? -- Last edit: 2017-03-01 12:45:19
Robex 2017-03-01 12:33	If you look at this image of the Onyx cs1.worldofmods.com/screenshots/f80ce/2016-04/original/76b7535fb210fef8a917ebba88e0f0eadc31d306/195281-BeamNG.Drive.x64-2016-04-30-20-20-49-968.jpg And then you give a closer look to the 6R4 on Dirt 3 www.igcd.net/vehicle.php?id=36809 You'll see the same door, the same roof, the same pillars (except the C one, 'cause the rear was totally remodelled), and rear lights are in the same position of 6R4 ones.. they just leave all its "muscles" and make the rear side-window smaller, and that's it
100AcreWood 2012-09-30 16:43	Possibly. But again it looks more like a Festiva to me.
lcpdcv 2012-09-30 06:47	Simple alterations so the game company wouldn't get shit from the auto maker, that's all.
100AcreWood 2012-09-30 06:38	Thought about that but the Wheels, golf would make sense, but the wheel type and tail lights are not correct position.
lastinpurple 2012-08-04 18:42	Well nobody likes to be discredited on public, especially for something that happened so long ago. As I said, because the rear window has been shortened it can be confused with a Golf, but the door shape, roof... It's 100% Metro. The Golf was much more edgy in the design, while the Onyx isn't, like the Metro. The Golf has a pillar on the front side windows, the Onyx doesn't, like the Metro. The Onyx resembles to British junior banger racers, in which the Metro is popular. Also the Onyx has the side trim and scallop of the Metro. If you just look at the C-Pillar you may doubt, but play with the views on the loading screen and you'll see the profile, door shape, door handle, is from a Metro. -- Last edit: 2012-08-04 18:51:58
lcpdcv 2012-08-04 18:30	...and I don't see why that was necessary. You're acting like I'm yelling obscenities at you.
lastinpurple 2012-08-04 18:28	I haven't been active in IMCDB/IGDC for four years or more, do you need to come up with something that happened four years ago to make your point? Also I don't think it's necessary to get rude. Honestly, play the game and you'll see it's a Metro. Calm down a little bit, this is just a forum.
lcpdcv 2012-08-04 18:09	This is coming from a guy who said a 3rd gen Pontiac Firebird was an IROC-Z on IMCDB, nothing to see here.
lastinpurple 2012-08-04 16:30	I've bought the game and I'm 100% sure that this is an Austin Metro. The car is identical, except for the C-Pillar which is thicker on the Onyx which makes it reminiscent of a Yugo or Golf Mk1. The roof, the doors, the front quarterpanels, even the doorhandle is identical. The Runner is also very similar to the strenghtened Metros used at junior/rookie banger racing in the UK, and it makes sense because the developers (Codemasters) are British. The pictures might be a bit misleading, but play the game and you'll see this is 100% Metro. In fact I'd dare to say that since Showdown is made out of DIRT 3 leftovers, the Runner could be based on the 6R4, but this is just a suposition. -- Last edit: 2012-08-04 16:30:32

lcpdcv 2012-06-12 02:25	Also, ingame name?
lcpdcv 2012-06-10 19:22	This is a clustereff of a GV and a Rabbit/Golf. Nuff said.
UltraRazza 2012-05-25 10:01	We're all gonna keep guessing this until the end of time itself, aren't we? By throwing up other random 70 and 80's euro hatchbacks
Sandie 2012-05-25 04:40	On balance, I agree with Metro.
Donkey-kong 2012-05-25 00:15	That's definitely not a Golf, I have perfectly good reasons for this, Reason 1: The pillar in between the rear window and the bootlid on this one is shorter than the Golf's. Reason 2: the front end is shorter than the Golf's. Reason 3: the door handles don't match the Golf's at all. The only thing that does match a Golf on this car is the wheels. However the new higher quality images don't make me think Subaru Rex as much as I originally did with the old image, so I don't know what it is anymore...
sajmon14 2012-05-24 15:02	Well since Codemasters know IGCD, I think they mixed many cars into one to make us confused and keep laughing on the discussion
J-2 2012-05-24 12:00	Yugo. I'm sure:
sajmon14 2012-05-24 11:18	TheHeartbreakKid15 wrote Personally I think it's an Austin Metro >.> Its the most similar car but the c pillar doesnt fit. The wheels used used in this one look like ones from Dirt3 Mini so it might be a Metro
UltraRazza 2012-05-03 10:47	The rear does look like a Peugeot 205, or at least the taillights do. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Pug205gti_hinten.jpg
Donkey-kong 2012-04-04 04:09	Can we get a front view yet?
Badger 2012-04-02 21:18	Donkey-kong wrote Well, some old Peugeot's were indeed sold in the USA. True, but the 106 wasn't.
lcpdcv 2012-04-02 02:09	Talbot Samba in the US-no And this isn't any model of Peugeot, let alone one sold in the US.
J-2 2012-04-02 00:54	It looks like a Talbot Samba for me
Donkey-kong 2012-04-02 00:44	Well, some old Peugeot's were indeed sold in the USA.
IkusaGT 2012-02-05 17:44	Badger wrote Because it's custom-painted. Back to the identification - I am aware that some parts resemble a Peugeot 106, but overall it much better matches a Golf/Rabbit. And we have to keep in mind, that this game takes place in the USA. I'm voting Golf/Rabbit. Wait, so you're saying just because it takes place in the USA, a Peugeot hatchback cannot be in the game?

IkusaGT 2012-02-04 03:40	Most tiny hatchbacks' bodies look almost alike. I prefer to think its Peugeot 106 upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/66/Peugeot_106_rear_20070609.jpg
Donkey-kong 2012-02-03 22:21	One thing I can say it that its definitely not a Fiat Panda, the Fiat is to boxy, the windows are different, the wheel wells are to square, and the rear end is shaped different...Also definitely not a Peugeot 205, the windows are different, and the Peugeot is to modern in style...I also don't see much Renault Le-car either, the wheels are really the only thing that matches a Renault Le-car, the Renault Le-car's rear end is also much to slanted. Now, the main reason why I think its a Subaru Rex and not a Volkswagen Golf MK1, is because the Volkswagen Golf has a less slanted rear end, and a longer front overhang. While the door, shape of the front end, and shape of the rear end look quite close to a Rex i.drom.ru/~autovl/catalog_photos/subaru/rex/subaru_rex_2570.jpg I do understand that the taillights look different from a Rex, but I think there just aftermarket.
Donkey-kong 2012-02-02 22:04	www.imcdb.org/vehicle_31622-Subaru-Rex-1982.html looks identical to me...
Gamer 2012-02-02 16:00	It´s a Golf `Strawberry Bucket´ Convertible, why else would it have a differently colored roof?
IkusaGT 2012-02-02 12:31	I'll stick with Peugeot 106 according to the rear until there are more pictures of it.
subzero 2012-02-01 19:52	thats definitely a Golf MK1
Sandie 2012-01-30 22:46	I agree with Golf, on balance.
lcpdcv 2012-01-29 22:25	ta-caprice-xi wrote I'd suggest leaving this as "Unknown" until a front view of the car can be provided. Given the fact that every other stock car featured so far is based on an american vehicle, I highly doubt that this is a Fiat Panda. I've seen some dev interviews and it's probably worth pointing out that the demo derby cars aren't licensed, so this could very well be a Golf with altered styling. By the way, how on earth are people thinking it's similar to a Panda anyway? Even if you took all the plastic trim and bumpers etc off the real thing, the only thing that these two vehicles would have in common is that they're both hatchbacks. The Panda is much boxier. commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pandabj1991.jpg Exactly! It's much more boxier, and it has square fenders, and the windows on the Golf/Rabbit are just like the ones on this car, and it also has circular fenders......so who's the idiot now, Jam?
dodge1970 2012-01-29 17:21	IkusaGT wrote The shape and placement of the tailights (if you can see closely) reminds me of a Peugeot 106. Thats what I thought.

Donkey-kong 2012-01-01 20:50	From are current main image, I'm definitely going for Rex.
Antonisbob! 2011-12-28 10:00	It is most certainly a 1300cc saloon stock car. Look at this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_3ufnC4zfY&feature=player_embedded

Mach1Mustang 2011-12-12 23:57	The back sort of reminds me of a Peugoet 205. Not commonly used for demolition derby purposes, but the shape looks very similar.
Cziczaki 2011-12-12 19:44	It's must be AMC Pacer.

sajmon14 2011-12-11 17:17	MG Metro?
ACE the ultimatum 2011-12-11 17:08	Renault 5.
carcrasher88 2011-12-11 17:06	Size and shape have me thinking Renault 5/Le Car, but I'm not 100% sure...
subzero 2011-12-11 17:05	Golf mk1?
