Correct me if I'm wrong, but you start with either a EVO IX, Gallardo, or a Charger.

I saw these three in the On The Spot Show.

I don't think you start with such expensive and fast cars..

I guess you can chose from some less expensive cars, like in MW..

The car list thing is subjective. I personally prefer more European cars.

Sold As a Chevrolet?? LOL.
Didn't know that Opel/Vauxhalls where also sold as Chevrolets.
I know many of the Opel/Vauxhall cars where sold in Australia as Holden (and still are.) and I knew that Pontiac was also in the mix (GTO in US / Monaro in UK / AUS) but that Chevy also was in the mix I did not know.

In the past I always thought it was only Vauxhall and Opel that shared (almost) all cars.
But it looks like there are alot more brands in the GM group are building the same cars.

Here in europe Chevrolets are basicly Deawoo's exept the Corvette. All other Chevrolets sold here are Korean cars.

I posted this a long time ago in a ricer topic.

It is a super Riced Opel Omega (forgot the Vauxhall name of it)
posted the pic in full size but forgot it was HUGE!
Wouldn't it be a great car for Carbon....
Super Rice

But IMO a Vauxhall Astra VXR would be great. (don't like the mainland europe Astra GTC OPC version as much as the UK VXR)

the_hurricane · Post by **the_hurricane** » 02 Aug 2006, 00:44

omg, I know a guy who owns a Astra GTC OPC. I was seated next to him, when he reached 260 km/h. That was about 3 days after he build in his new stand-alone fuel system and a new blow-off valve..

---------------------------------------------

Cant wait till NFSC is coming.. !! About the car list; A lot of cars will be confirmed due to the screenshots EA releases so...

While you had the GSi, we had the Z24.

That's as hot hatch as a 2001 Mercury Cougar.

We had the British Cavalier (a.k.a. Opel Vectra) posted by DarrenR21373 instead of the American ones.

Chevrolet is sort of like Opel in South America, with a few additional and even home-designed models...

The past-generation Opel Astra is still sold here, as well as the Corsa. The new European Astra was transformed into a saloon and called the Chevrolet Vectra (because the current Opel Vectra is too expensive for our market...

). There are also home-designed S10 pickups and Blazer SUVs, and during some time the American GMC Silverado was sold in Brazil as a Chevrolet. Lastly, we import Holden Commodores from Australia and rebadge them as Chevrolet Omega.

This comes from some time ago. The Opel Ascona was sold here as Chevrolet Monza, as well as the Kadett.

A Gallardo? Now that would be interesting. BTW, has anyone here seen Autosculpt for said Lamborghini yet? I haven't been able to downlaod the On The Spot Video because it's too damn big for my dial-up connection.

yup same here in Romania, but now, the Daewoo is gone, was taken by the Chevy, even the Matiz, is changed into Chevy Spark ,... but anyway

IMO Opels are very bad @ racing, no wonder why isn`t this brand appeard in the latest nfs games. i just saw, dunno what ep on top gear, presenting the Vauxhall Vectra, some sporty name, it was really awesome, good looking, crazy speed, better than sport Mazda 6, cheaper ... but all this ended @ steering, the car has major oversteering ... my point is that EA probably throwed an eye over Opel brand, but they havent seen anything interesting ... all dough i like the new Astra GTC, and the new Tigra.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you start with either a EVO IX, Gallardo, or a Charger.

what you saw there are the demo cars, those cars will be into the demo, one car from each class

... well not for sure dough

if we are able to start off with one of those three cars i would be very happy

Skyline_man · Post by **Skyline_man** » 02 Aug 2006, 16:31

I am pretty sure you wont be able to start with a Gallardo.

The Gravedigger · Post by **The Gravedigger** » 02 Aug 2006, 16:42

It'll be like all the other Need For Speed's, you'll have a poor performance car to start off with and then work your way up (or upgrade your car...). In my opinion, it'd be stupid to start off with a high performance car, 1-3 crappy cars in each category will be more (if not too many) than sufficient enough for starter cars.

The moment they go away from that, the game's will become even lamer than they have been.
Heck, I doubt you'll be even seeing something like the gallardo or company half way through the game, if not near the latter half of the game like in Most Wanted.

the_hurricane · Post by **the_hurricane** » 02 Aug 2006, 16:52

How did you guys think about the starting amount of money? In NFS:MW it was 30k I guess.

I think it's a good starting amount, cuz you can buy a car and upgrade it a little bit then..

prince1142003 · Post by **prince1142003** » 02 Aug 2006, 17:02

you will be able to start off with a Gallardo. watch the EA Showcase video again. Scott Neilson says what the three starter cars will be for each class. Muscle: 1969 Camaro. Tuner: Lancer EVO 9. Exotic: Gallardo.

I won`t, don`t think they`ll wreck all the fun on creating your own ride and rep through the players.

about the sum of money .. no comment. don`t know what to answer to that

DarrenR21373 · Post by **DarrenR21373** » 02 Aug 2006, 17:07

Dudes, let's be serious. We're likely to start with the same sort of lame cars we've been used to in Ux & MW.

You'll get something like a Punto, Fiesta or Polo, some US-only car like a Cobalt, probably the old Lexus IS again (although the new IS 220d would be pretty awesome - I'd start with that!) and a slightly better car if you've played MW, like a Golf, let's just hope it's the 2006 R32 this time.

prince1142003 · Post by **prince1142003** » 02 Aug 2006, 17:08

dude, read my post above.

Leftos · Post by **Leftos** » 02 Aug 2006, 17:22

I agree with people saying that starting with a really good car will just ruin the fun of building your way up. There will be no excitement in driving against bosses over and over until I get "that damn EVO IX".

Don't forget that the above options are what we got in MW that only featured Tuners and Exotics, all in one class. If there are 3 different classes, there should be 3 or 4 cars from each class as starters, as first you'd select class and second one of the starter cars of each class.

Golf was never R32 if there will be one it will be GTI and it will be Golf 5 coz Golf 6 won't be released until Carbon is out!

And someone was point great those 3 cars could be starter cars for each class! Great thinking!

Danyutz · Post by **Danyutz** » 02 Aug 2006, 18:36

not even in U2 we coulnd`t find the R32, not in MW, probably not in Carbon, i only hope for the GTi or the new GT, well that one has less HP ..

Zpectre · Post by **Zpectre** » 02 Aug 2006, 18:55

Gallardo is too much to start with IMO, I think the starter car for exotic class will be something like a Porsche Cayman, that is, if they don't make the "Exotic Mode" an unlockable one.

Leftos · Post by **Leftos** » 02 Aug 2006, 19:17

One definately needs more money to be in the exotics class than they need to be in the tuners class, so I'll be curious to see how EA implements the starting of the career.

xHaZxMaTx · Post by **xHaZxMaTx** » 02 Aug 2006, 19:19

I think a good car to start off with in the Exotics dept. would be the Elise.

Redshift · Post by **Redshift** » 02 Aug 2006, 19:38

LOL ! The Elise isn't very stable when you drive it, I always roll on the side when I take a Heavy turn !
Bad car...

prince1142003 · Post by **prince1142003** » 02 Aug 2006, 19:54

no, it's not a bad car, you're just a bad driver.
