Isn't Jeep controlled by Fiat now?
If Fiats are in, most probably Jeeps will be too.

Well, if you remember from GT4. There were a couple Jeeps that were on the "Confirmed Car List" here on GTP. I think it was a Cherokee and a Wrangler. But it would be nice to officially get some in the game. Maybe the Jeep SRT8 will appear.
 
Jeep Comanche :drool:
Jeep Grand Wagoneer :drool:

My kingdom for Jeeps in GT5!

Just an observation, I also recognised the classic Grand Wagoneer but that pick-up truck could be a classic J10 perhaps, which would make some sense I guess since both these cars share some similarities ( or might even technically be the same for the most part ) which in effect would mean some modelling could be shared, that's assuming they are included at all ofcourse.
Or is that one also known as Comanche?

No, this is the Comanche:

Yes I know but the one in that picture ( the we love cars one ) looks more like an older model Jeep pick-up, not at all like the Comanche.

Oh . . . well, I really don't know. In any case, I'd love to see Jeeps in the game. They were tested for GT4, but never made it in. :grumpy:

Compare this picture to the one in that we love cars photo, not saying I'm right but it does appear to be older ( and bigger ) than the Comanche in my view.

Looks like they're expanding on GT4's theme of vehicle history and trying to include more historically important vehicles. The SambaBus is important to the hippie movement but it's also the first Minivan. They've also included the Schemmwagen which, I believe is the first amphibius vehicle. I wouldn't be surprised to see the 1941 Beetle in the game as well.

The LeMans Legends, the Concept Muira...the list goes on...Jeep would fit very well into this concept as Jeep was the first 4WD vehicle and it was the Allies answer to the Beetle. It's been owned by at least 6 different companies in it's almost 70 years on the market. (Willies, Ford, AMC, Chrysler, Diamler, Fiat) It was also the what the Hummer was based off of. The Wagoneer eventually became the Cherokee. And, just before Chrysler took over, it was, I believe the AMC Jeep Grand Cherokee or Cherokee Wangoneer. (AMC released the Cherokee in 91 and Chrysler took over in 92 and quickly released the Cherokee which we know today.) But, I'm interested to see what other cars will be in GT5 in keeping with the "historical" cars theme. Maybe the Dodge Caravan, which was the first minivan to be called a minivan.

I have to correct you on that ( won't bother with the other inaccuracies ) as the first 4X4 car ever ( and the first 6-cylinder car ever at the same time ) was the Dutch Spyker 60 HP racecar from 1903.;)

That's actually a R1. :sly:

You're both right. I couldn't remember if Jeep was the first 4WD or 4x4. And, when I blew up the picture I could read it was the R1, not the R2. Still, a unique Subaru you wouldn't see in any other game...if it's in GT5.

Sorry to nit-pick.

First mechanical 4WD system as we know it today was Spyker in 1902 apparently.

edit: damn it, must remember to read the rest of the post before quoting.
 
In go-kart pic the blue car is propably Audi A4 B7. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that there was no normal A4's in previous GT games.

Actually, if we want to get technical about it, this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lohner-Porsche_Mixte_Hybrid was the first working 4WD, though not very well designed.

The Spyker was the first with an internal combustion engine.

The Jeep was the first mass produced 4WD vehicle and where most of the 4WD popularity came from.
