From my perspective, the model above still stands as the most charming generation of them all. I would prefer the 3-door model though, for its off-road competence and compact appearance.

Speaking of the off-road duties, I wouldn't mind driving the Vitara if Polyphony included off-road sections and stages to navigate around. For that reason I would love to see a diesel-powered model as that is the best solution outside tarmac sections. On usual racing/rally circuits regular Vitara could be a bit tedious.

The same overlook affects the W463 G400 CDI suggestion as well.

I think this car would be a lot of fun drive around the old Cathedral Rocks Trails if they were ever reintroduced into GT. as well.

The engine bay picture definetively doesn't show a V6; it's an inline-4. Can you fix that?
