Mitsubishi Galant

Escape the Museum 2 (2009)
I think it looks a bit more like a 1996+ Mitsubishi Galant.

Ford F-350

Grand Theft Auto V (2013)
The F-100 was the most common version, but that generation was also available as F-250 and F-350.
Ford Mustang

Car Mechanic Simulator 2014 (2013)
The front is very similar to 2015 Dodge Charger. Probably a coincidence, since it was unveiled at NYIAS in april.

Dodge Coronet

Starsky & Hutch (GBA) (2003)
The front looks a bit like a 1960 Edsel or a 1959 Pontiac. Not sure about the rear.
Fiat 131 Mirafiori

Cars: Mater-National (2007)
It looks somewhat like a Datsun 510, too. Keep in mind the name 'Yuri' may also be Japanese.

Then again it's also very similar to Lada, apart from the number of doors. :think:
Ford Transit

Forza Horizon 2 (2014)
I actually agree with you, as this is most definitely the fourth generation model.

I'm just wondering if IMCDB got it wrong or could it perhaps be that the change in "Mark x" designation may be independent from actual generation changes? This would be the case with Ford Mondeo, for example. The mk2 mondeo is a facelifted mk1, but still essentially a first generation model. The second generation model is labelled "mk3" and so on. This is somewhat confusing.

Also does Ford actually use the "mark x" label for Transits? Quote from Wikipedia:

Quote Whilst there have been four basic Transit platforms since 1965, the various facelifts and upgrades over the years have been referred to using a conflicting range of "Mark" numbers, with some sources counting a facelift as a new "Mark", some not. Ford's own historical look back at Transit production, published for the launch of the 1994 model, avoids the issue by referring to generations of Transit by years produced.

The problem here is that the Mk's on those forums are not using the same system that we use here. The Mk's we use here refer to Full Model Changes (FMC's) rather than simple Facelifts. Whenever a vehicle is updated, it will go through one of these changes. Facelifts are cheaper and are mostly cosmetic changes to existing parts - the new vehicle is almost identical to the old one, but will look more modern. FMC's are more expensive, since the entire vehicle will be redesigned from scratch - the new vehicle is completely new, and shares almost nothing with its predecessor except its name, purpose and a small number of parts.


It's not always that simple, though. There's a very thin line between a heavy restyling and a new model. A new model doesn't have to be designed from scratch, in fact in most cases it's related to the previous model. Some would consider the 2011 Chrysler 300 a heavy restyling, but it's officially known as the second generation. The 1994 Ford Scorpio was nothing more than a restyled first generation model, but Ford still called it the second generation.

Anyway, about the Transit. IMCDB lists them as mkV, so there's that.

What's the deal with those green side skirts? Also, the Kia Cee'd traffic car has green side mirrors for some reason. :??:

That description would fit the Volvo 240 perfectly. :D

Anyway, the car is definitely a Skyline. Doesn't matter what fictional brand developers attached to it. Just look at it!

I couldn't care less about such 'mistakes' in a game which has unlicenced cars. I'm just damn glad Rockstar finally added something a bit more interesting than a bunch of new supercars.
Ford Taurus

Watch Dogs (2014)
I don't see any Fusion in it, apart from the grille. It's definitely something WM Caprice-based, even though there is no civilian version of the Caprice for the US market.

In fact, this may sound crazy, but judging by the front, the closest real life thing is the Bitter Vero IMO, even though an obscure limited production German sedan is not what you'd see in the streets of Chicago. :D

Nissan Cedric Wagon

Warfare: Im Auge des Terrors (2008)
Nissan Maxima wagon with a modified, sorta Mercedes Benz-ish front end? It was even available with a wood trim.

[edit]

Nissan Cedric wagon it is, even the roof matches.

Forza Motorsport 4 (2011)
It's interesting that it has the USDM side markers and trunk lid, but has Bora badging instead of Jetta.

1999 Mitsubishi Carisma?

Ben Jordan: Paranormal Investigator Case 2 - The Lost Galleon of the Salton (2004)
In the Deluxe version (which has better graphics) the car is a Lincoln Continental. This one, however, is rather generic.
Maybach 62

62, not 57.

It's not easy to find the exact 4-door sedan from a side texture alone, but I'd say this is a 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora -

upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/19/Oldsmobile-Aurora.jpg


It is similar, but doesn't exactly match the texture. The Olds has a rather sharp crease on the side, plastic protective trim-bar whateveryoucallit on the doors, and lacks a separate turning signal on front fender.

I think the sides (and the shape of the body as well) look very close to the 1992 Mazda Xedos 6/Eunos 500. Look at the sculpting of the surfaces between the C-pillar and read wheel, for example. static.cargurus.com/images/site/2008/03/18/14/06/mazda_xedos_6-pic-46473.jpeg

The front and rear are still no match, though.
Lincoln Town Car

I think a late model Mercury Grand Marquis is probably the closest match.
Mercedes-Benz C-Klasse

Sleeping Dogs (2012)
It's a Mercedes-Benz C-klasse (W202)
Honda Stream

Yoot Tower (1998)
Maybe one of the Chevrolet Lumina APV/Pontiac Trans Sport/Oldsmobile Silhouette triplets?
Chevrolet Caprice

Grand Theft Auto V (2013)
Caprice/PPV is also a good guess, but the midsection/greenhouse is totally different from the SS, as it's derived from the long wheelbase version of the Holden. From the front doors onwards they're different vehicles.

Here's a comparison of Caprice and SS. Note the longer body and rear quarter windows.

Chevrolet Caprice

Grand Theft Auto V (2013)
I dunno, I'm just not seeing this in it.

However, this I see.

Then again, as usually with GTA, it is a collage of various cars, so no one is really wrong here :D
Škoda 120

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Blacklist (2013)
The front looks like something from the 90s (Impreza or Corolla perhaps?), but the rear looks like 60s-70s style. What a weird design. :D
Chevrolet Caprice

Grand Theft Auto V (2013)
The front looks a bit like Impala, but the majority of the car is pretty close to SS.

Here's a pretty bad pic to give a clue:

Nissan Skyline

Grand Theft Auto V (2013)
I agree, never thought of it as Honda either. I guess the reason it was listed as an Accord in IV was because earlier Stratum in San Andreas largely resembled a 5th generation Accord wagon. With this car, the only part that looks Honda to me is the slope of the rear window, which kind of reminds me of the sixth-generation Asian market Accord Wagon.


That's all I got, but I don't think it's enough to call it Honda.

I too think R32 Skyline is the closest match. They just made it into a wagon. Just like they added two (proper) doors to the FJ Cruiser.

I'm not sure if it can be listed as Nissan if the R32 never had a wagon, but it would still be better than Honda Accord.

Jaguar XJ

MTV's Beavis and Butt-Head: Bunghole in One (1998)
It is rather generic, but I'm seeing a bit of Jaguar XJ in it.

Bedford MK

Saints Row IV (2013)
Looks like a cross between MAZ 504 and Ford C-series.
Oldsmobile 88

Something Special: Zoe's American Adventure (2009)
I think 1951 Oldsmobile 88.
Toyota HiAce

Travel League: The Missing Jewels (2009)

Moskvitch 412, most likely.

I was thinking Plymouth Reliant or Dodge Aries wagon.

The side profile looks like a Hyundai Sonata to me. The hybrid version even had a similarly shaped grille.
Toyota Truck

Jagged Alliance 2 (1999)
Seems a lot smaller than the other pick-up truck, but has an extended cab and a sleeker, more rounded body.

My first thought was an Isuzu TF Spacecab:


GAZ 21 Volga

Nocturnal: Boston Nightfall (2008)
Looks exactly like GAZ 21 Volga:



which is interesting in a game that appears to be set in the US.
A 1952 Ford would maybe make more sense, but the little details such as front blinker lights, chrome details on the lower sides and the creeses in the body are 100% Volga.

(the one far left)

Seen in Trevor's trailer. Looks like a Camry to me, possibly previous generation model.

Also, notice the guy filming Trevor's attack with a camera phone :D
Honda Civic

Little Racers STREET (2012)
I can see some similarities with the Xsara, but I think the overall shape of the body resembles the Opel Astra G hatchback.

Looks like a MAN M2000 to me.
BMW 3

Grand Theft Auto V (2013)
Ever though it's obviously based on the 3 series Beamer, the rear reminds me a bit of Saab 9-3.
