It really doesn't, the current (or recent) Impreza's with a nose like that are hatch-backs, and the saloon don't have a nose like that at all.

Its does however look just like an Evo.


I know exactly what you are saying, and attempting to speak for 99% of members isn't something I would (even after a decade here) attempt to do.

Nor does it change that its still utterly subjective. Some will prefer a 500 over an NSX, some will prefer Renault's over Honda's and Mitsubishi's (in terms of Motorsport heritage the former has significantly more than the later two), so yes it does have a significant amount of 'sense' to it.
Oh ôk... I hope it's an Evo.
 
The bottom left is a Clio. My initial assumption was that it is the Cup car but the teaser car does not feature a rear wing. Hmmm...

Yep, am seeing it as a Clio now

All the updates (if you don't count the Supra Dragontail one) have had American cars. Two no one is fully sure what each car is so there could still be an American car in here. However, even if there isn't it can still be said their are plenty in the game and the few you've highlighted here don't really show any diversity missed in the current GTS.
 
Well this news made my day a lot better...I love group C machines especially Mazda 787B it has to come in next batch of cars in June...
LaSarthe is the track 95% !
 
It's an evo 7, look at the hood vents and the split in the middle of the nose. amd the slanted rear window. Subaru's are open the middle of the grill and are more of a coupe and in the rear than a psudo fastback. I used to own an evo 8, they are almost the same car. I would also like to see more older muscle cars and tracks also. Especially they give us a livery editor, I am not impressed with car choices. they might claim 122 or whatever, but when you get 6 versions of the same car for 15 different cars thats 90 right there??? To me, that doesn't count. Might as well start counting how many colors you can choose/paint them. Then they have reached their 500 mark already. Pathetic.

Evo 6 - look at the front of the bonnet, the 7 does not have that extra line of bodywork going across just under the bonnet at the front.

Doesn't help me but might give some clues to the better guessers.

Maybe the bottom left car is that mad one off Clio Renault made with the engine and gearbox from the Megane Trophy?
 
My two cents on the forthcoming DLC:

1 Mitsubishi Lan Evo VI GSR T.M. Edition ’00 (GT6 Premium)
- Premiums of the IV GSR ’96 and IX GSR ’05 exist as well so could be either one of these. Fingers crossed for the VI TME, probably one of the most famous iterations of the Lan Evo.

2 Nissan R92CP Race Car ’92 (GT4 Standard)
- Interesting choice as this has only been available as a standard since GT4. Curious to see how it’s been remastered, though I'm sure it'll look amazing (anyone remember the R92 inspired livery for the ill-fated GT-R LM Nismo?). What I'm not sure of is why PDI thought it necessary to bring it back? Surely the Mazda 787B would have been a more popular choice given it's Le Man winning performance? Even better would have been a Le Mans dominating Porsche 956/962. Not that I mind, it’s a good looking vehicle either way and a series classic.

3 Lamborghini Miura P400 Bertone Prototype ’67 (GT5 Premium)
- If it's the 15,000,000 version then sad face. Here’s hoping it’s a standard production model and a little more affordable. Also I'm thinking this may be a sign of some classic competition events returning to GT League? Classic Supercar Cup featuring the GT40, Countach and Pantera perhaps?

4 Mercedes Benz Sauber C9 ’89 (GT5 Premium)
- Excellent choice. 1989 Le Mans winner a defining example of the Group C class. Glad to have it back. Seems to go hand in hand with racing at Spa, such a good car and track combo.

5 Fiat 500 F ’68 (GT5 Premium)
- One for the livery editors eh?

6 Renault Sport Megane & 7 Renault Sport Clio
- Don't we already have the '11 Megane RS and '15 Clio RS. Odd choices.

8 Aston? Possibly the new Vantage. No idea to be honest. Maybe a DB9?

9 Jaguar XJR-9 (GT5 Premium)
- Yes! Love this car. 1988 Le Mans winner and an absolute icon.

Group C vehicles will probably form part of a new class I assume. That or there's some serious BOP adjustments before entering them into Group 1. As for a new track, Spa or Le Sarthe given they're ideal proving grounds for the Group Cs. I'd be stunned if neither showed up.

PDI could score some big kudos with the fans on this DLC.

I was at Le Mans in 89 and not only saw the C9 but also physically touched it on the start/finish straight at the end of the race after the wind down lap as everyone walked onto the track. Great sporting memory. Really looking forward to driving this, the Jaguar and the Nissan. The Jag in its low drag Le Mans spec really does indicate that Le Mans is going to be coming.

It maybe a 6, I might be seeing a shadow then..7-9s have a split in the front and a little bit longer nose. Other than that, almost the same. I'd be ok with either one. It's not a subaru though. I'd just really like some different cars really. More street cars, some older iconic race cars, Like what about some 70s/80s/90s cars. I don't like a bunch of the same cars that only have different stickers on em. And of course tracks, of course le mans/spa, but also what about old monza, road america, fuji (with the variations), the list can go on. And some more offline races that aren't all race cars. have some imsa/scca club racing cars. They were out at bondurant/firebird race tracks measuring them up about 6-7 months ago. There is 4 separate tracks on that facility. A little birdy told me, just kidding, I used to work there, my friend still does and he called and told me. Let's hope.
 
Yeah that's definitely a Sauber C9 on the middle left, the elongated hole above the Mercedes badge is a dead giveaway. You can see the shape of the headlights from the side as well plus the curve above the rear wheels is a match. The rear wing on the other hand is presumably hidden by the lighting.
