Get ready for the second wave of import racer wannabes. I wonder if these games effect the market much if at all? There's enough import bias in these games for sure. This seems like adding fuel to the flame.
I just hope they add some of the American iron to the game.

 

"increase reputation"?

 

Reputation? Man, is everyone defining themselves by how others see them now? Maybe they should call it "Decreasing Insecurity" as opposed to "increasing reputation"!!

Remember the days of James Deen when he could give a rats you know what about what others thought? Now that was cool....

 

If they want to get teenagers to buy it, they should change it to "increasing street cred".

theres a trailer, etc. 80 missions along with GTA style free roaming, street racing, etc.

Why do i have a feeling ill probly get this game...

 

Ooooh...now that's what all that junk is for. I thought it was to increase farse-ablity!

 

Well, I just remember when the old Gran Turismo came out and how unrealistic it was. The only way you could win the later races was to have some Japanese car or some of the very high end European car. Viper and Corvette would only get you to about the middle of the game before you had to switch it for something "more hi tech and therefore faster and better." Same thing for 2 and 3. Yet, in reality, look at how bad Corvettes and Vipers tear up the European and Japanese cars in racing (C5R in Le Mans what?). I think they have finally fixed this in #4, but we will have to wait and see (although from all the awesome domestic cars in the screen shots, it should be fairly accurate). I think these games are in part why teenage kids are so stupid these days and think their Civic has 500 HP with a fart can and intake. But it is so much more fun to show them what a real car can do!

 

Eh, that is what a reputation is. If that's what you want your reputation to be, so be it. Build it up!!

Oh yeah, what wonderful years those were. All the Dorks without a cause with sh*t in their hair were awesome. I feel an urge to take a comb out of my back pocket as I type.

God I'm glad Elvis is dead...

The reason why these cars are doing good is because non-domestic manufacterers are building high quality cars that are fun and somewhat easy to work on instead of bricks on wheels with little to no performance.

 

The Camaro excluded of course...

 

Dude..that stereotypical... "non-domestic manufacterers are building high quality cars" you see the results latley..american cars are getting there just do..for the last few years...one being Caddy..with the CTS and new XLR..and Olds being one of the best cars GM makes...and the Impy was tested and better than its imports counterparts..the cars are now on par to what the imports are made of..but we just dont have what the "kids" made popular....the stang camaro and bird did that..but they are old school...not whats "in"...the Solstice should help it though..
