"Essentially, a sportback is 5-door hatchback with a fast roofline and a sportier design."


Check what websites say about this vehicle, research the class it is involved with and the cars that compete with it. It is a sedan.
Chevrolet Caprice

Watch Dogs (2014)
Caprice? Not to me. This is more of a 4th generation Hyundai Elantra since the body is shorter than the vehicle it is currently listed as.
Ford Crown Victoria

Need for Speed: The Run (2011)
This can only be seen in the final round of stage 10 while racing across New York against Marcus Blackwell.

Yet another car on IGCD listed as a hatchback when it isn't...can't you check online to see the vehicle's class?

The Last of Us Part II (2020)
Seems like the 2008-2011 facelift model to me.
Chevrolet Spark

Gangstar: New Orleans (2017)
Judging by the sharp edges and lines, this is a third generation Honda Fit. The previous generations were a bit more curvier than the current one. The Chevrolet Spark is completely far behind the Fit when you compare both cars to this vehicle as the Spark has a higher ground clearance with the side windows being different.

Is it me or does the front end resemble a 2017 Lincoln Continental? www.netcarshow.com/lincoln/2017-continental/1600x1200/wallpaper_06.htm


The front end matches to a Jaguar with the rest of the vehicle having the style of a BMW.
Artega GT

Watch Dogs (2014)
In the Driver: San Francisco trailer, you could see a Papavero lookalike on the Golden Gate bridge while Jericho was smashing into everything. That game was released 4 years before Watch Dogs.
Mazda 2

Watch Dogs (2014)
This is a Volkswagen Polo as this vehicle has a direct match with the front design, taillights and body shape (Except the roof). I don't see anything that screams Mazda about the vehicle.
Mitsubishi Outlander

Watch Dogs (2014)
Aside from the taillights, the rest of the vehicle shares a higher resemblance to the second-generation Saturn Vue and not a Mitsubishi as the 2010 Outlander has a more rectangular design with the headlights and front grille, especially since the body is 25% more boxy. The Vue's XR trim is the perfect one for this.
Mazda Roadster

This is also known as a Miata.

Licensing problems since they signed a deal which doesn't allow their cars in Need For Speed games (Toyota).

Street racing games used to have a lot of SUVs in them, though? Midnight Club 3 springs to mind, for one.


Yes, but the number of SUVs in racing games have partially decreased. Gaming companies usually allow lower class vehicles to adapt more to the racing genre. The Yukon already comes as a traffic vehicle like the Infiniti G35. If you talk about this to EA, it is unlikely they would take it into consideration.
Mercedes-Maybach S 680

Need for Speed: Unbound (2022)
Is it just me, or does anyone else think that some of the updates should have been in the game when it was released?
BMW i3

Gran Turismo 7 (2022)
One of the only PC games that has the i3. Usually, mobile games tend to get the new vehicles that some PC/console games don't feature.
Nissan Leaf

Gran Turismo 7 (2022)
The front favors 90% of a Toyota Yaris, but assuming that the rest of the car has the style of the Nissan Leaf, then it's fine as it is.
Chevrolet Cruze

Gran Turismo 7 (2022)
It has a closer match to the Chevrolet SS than a Cruze. It has a sharper and sportier style.

I admire the hatchback more than the sedan.

Considering we've had Escalades in the past this SHOULD have been a playable vehicle.


It wouldn't make sense to them to add vehicles that don't fit the street racing genre in my honest opinion. Majority of the SUVs in Need For Speed are barely played by anyone. They also won't allow it to be playable since it already comes as a traffic vehicle.

Did EA re-use some cars from NFS: Heat?


Yes. Even the traffic vehicles since some of them have Palm City license plates. Aside from this, many playable vehicles were reused from Heat, but there is a lower amount of cars available in Unbound.

Buick Verano

American Truck Simulator (2016)
Mathias98 wrote
I agree, just simply having German origin for a Verano is a bit weird.
IMCDB also has an option to add "Built in: [country name]" and "Made for: [country name]" next to the country origin, which could be useful for cases like this car - I think it would be a good idea to add these features to IGCD.
That would help clear up things a bit, since there are a lot of inconsistencies on the site right now - for example some of the Opel-based Vauxhalls have British, while others have German origin.


Thanks for explaining this. If it was supposed to be an Opel, or something based on it, then it would make sense to list its origin as German, but this is clearly a Buick Verano which is a US-made vehicle, being in a US based game and is sold directly in the US market, so the origin being American is more valid. The design doesn't match the Opel Astra either, so that's another catch for listing it as a German vehicle. Same reason why some sedans are incorrectly listed as hatchbacks on IGCD.

That is pretty much exactly what I said about the Buick, but the Transit is a different case.

The Transit has a history as a European market model dating back over 50 years, whereas it only came to the US market in 2014. Ford of Europe is based in Germany, and most EU-origin Fords are listed as German to reflect that, including most other Transits.

It's worth mentioning that the location of a vehicle's manufacture is not necessarily what the origin on IGCD refers to - instead it's more about the cultural context of what country the vehicle is associated with.


Still would make sense to me to name a vehicle made in a particular location and give it a different origin in another place.
Nissan Silvia

Need for Speed: Unbound (2022)
We had a vehicle with a similar customization theme like this one. Not sure what happened to it.
Buick Verano

American Truck Simulator (2016)
Tuppence870 wrote


I believe the reason for it being listed as German is because IMCDb views it as a rebadged Opel Astra. I'm not sure if that's an entirely correct assumption though - it does share the same platform as the Astra (as do many other vehicles like the Chevrolet Cruze & Volt), but unlike the Chinese Buick Excelle XT (which is literally an Astra with a Buick badge slapped onto it), the Verano/Excelle GT has it's own unique design.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Motors_Delta_platform#Delta_II


But it is still an American model that is differed from the German version. The Ford Transit in ATS is listed as a German model when it isn't.

You heard him. Bruise is always right.


There are only 2 manufacturing plants for the first generation Verano, one located in Michigan USA, and the other in Yantai, a city in China (Where it is branded as an Excelle). The production model in the US was manufactured from 2011-2016, and was the only one sold directly in the American market:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buick_Verano

So this is an American-made vehicle and not a German one, the manufacturing plants GM own in Germany are only associated with Opels.

Some automakers don't like seeing their vehicles being promoted as getaway cars. There's more reasons like the Polyphone.

Audi left the NFS franchise so it doesn't make any difference if it would be in Unbound.

I wonder why there were no Ferraris included in this game. It could have used a 458, Enzo, Testarossa etc. There isn’t a Viper or an Eclipse either.

Funny that there is a file of Jack's 911, which needs a mod to be playable, but is crushed once you hit something immediately.
Tesla Model Y

Euro Truck Simulator 2 (2012)
I wonder why we don't get such models in ATS. I'm not an ETS 2 player, but majority of the AI vehicles in American Truck Simulator are far too old/rare for US roads. The fact that they have a current generation Tesla (I hate this company, only giving out an example) while ATS still uses the oldest Model S speaks out. I don't think that SCS properly knows what traffic in America looks like, but European traffic matches more towards this game. At least add more modern/new traffic vehicles in ATS like a Traverse, Kia Soul, Fusion etc, so people don't have to resort to mods.
