Well its true that Detroit once was at the pinnacle of the automotive industry, but that was like, you know... around the time when alcohol was bad and banned by the government.
Its a shame that American cars are ridiculed and stereotyped for being brash, behind the times, horrible steering, breaking down easily, and having a really low resale value (craigslist). Now this is coming from a guy who loves muscle cars and lives in America, but they are so behind the times compared to Toyota and Honda.
Toyota and Honda had a genius idea from the GM and Chrysler groups, "why don't we make a car thats cheap, reliable, gets ok mpg, and can have parts replaced for low price?" GM and Chrysler was like nah, we like our cars to break down. And here we are now...

What a variety of topics within this thread.👍
Simply amazing.
What was the point of this thread again?
The next update, whatever it will be named.
I guess i will leave this thread untill i get the notice from the game that an update is available.
Not as entertaining and educating as this thread, but hey, you can't get all at once.

Could we take it easy on the Detroit bashing please. I happen to live here and am very proud to say that. Although not a perfect city, we have been through a lot here and have managed to rise from the ashes. Detroit is a much better city than it used to be and I am proud of the progress that we have made from the past. There are a few things I am passionate about, and Detroit happens to be one of them.

well back on topic, I wanted to discuss this end of the january thing they put in the notifications section.
Someone mentioned that Kaz stated we would get 2 updates in January, now assuming that the events would unlock end of January as stated in the ingame notification, would it be correct to assume that the other update Kaz talked about would be before that time?

I believe 1.02 was supposed to be the first jan update, and another at the 18th. Like i said before, all pd's comunications were stopped on dec 19-18th, some call coincidence, i call vacation for everybody...
I believe that if we get something before the 18th-ish of this month is just because someone left something in the office and happened to realize the mistake while there.

Why don't we change the title to what it should really be:
"RED BULL EVENTS Not Yet Released as of January 9th."
Update 1.03 is not delayed because there was never an update announced or confirmed by PD. That's just pure speculation gone too far thanks to this thread.
EDIT: According to some, we have finally got an answer in the news section of the game. Redbull Event Part 2 will be available at the end of January.

They did say in an interview that there would be a big update in Jan maybe 2 so that would strongly indicate 1.03 and possibly even 1.04 as well.
The mention of the update and the end of Jan are talking about 2 different things. 1: The red bull events being live at the end of Jan and the text that currently reads Jan 1st being changed in the next update. It does not say nor imply that the next update will be at the end of Jan but that it will be before that. It also does nto indicate that the next update will be anything more than a minor update but given the interviews it is safe to say that there will be a 1.03 update before the end of the month and likely pretty soon

I haven't really been expecting much since the Detroit Auto Show is next week. Would make sense that they would release a nice big update then. As for the possible second January update, I'm going to say 24 Hours of Daytona will feature accompany another update.

I'll bet my hair that 1.03 will be on Monday, or whenever the Detriot Auto Show is.

Actually the assembly line was "invented" by Ransom Olds and patented by Olds and put in use making the Oldsmobile Curved Dash, though Ford was credited with the invention due to his addition of an conveyor, one could argue it was seven years and many intelligent men and women who worked for Ford who perfected/invented it. Further, as with all things, to say either man invented it, is incorrect. Systems of mass production, interchangeable parts, and assembly lines where in use in Europe, England and the US in the making of steam engines, furniture, milling of timber, and firearms before Ford or Olds ever rolled up.
But I digress.

"The first big auto manufacturers were French: Panhard & Levassor (1889) and Peugeot (1891).
Although, that's not to say Ford didn't make a huge impact on it later." -Streeto
Detroit and Lansing, Michigan (I think more importantly) are the foundation of the car as we know it. The Oldsmobile and then Austin 7 where the first cars with the layout of an automobile as we know it. I know Mr. Benz and his Motorwagen where first, and many French and Italians thereafter, but, Not one, until Mr. Olds. made it Drivable, and this is key, it wasn't till Oldsmobile gave us three pedals one for each Clutch, Brakes and Gas, a stick through the floor for shifting, a handbrake and a Steering Wheel (That's the big one) Most of these earlier Motor Carriages had all sorts of knobs and handles and levers for turning, deadly really. Even though other companies made "cars" earlier than those of Mr. Olds. Panhard and others where essentially replicas of what Mr. Benz had done. Namely, carriages with motors and nonsensical controls. Even the Model T was not what one would call "safe" it was slightly better. What Mr. Ford did, was, he made it affordable. The Model T was the best selling car ever (It may be No.1 still, but, I think, The Beetle may have this, not sure)

But such a long delay on such a simple event must be because it might be a lot of features or content packed in. Hoping for a big changelog, preparing for the worst (got a couple PS3 games to hold me)

There may not be any delay at all, could have simply been a mistake, a typo. Insert a 3 in that text and it reads Jan 31st which is more in line with what the news page is telling us now.
At any rate I am hoping for many things, I think we will get the community features or at least part of them in a big update very soon and before the end of the month

Detroit is really no longer the Motor City. I don't know if Ford has anything their but their HQ, as with GM. Chrysler might have their HQ there and they've just started re-opening their Detroit factories under FIAT. Because of this, Detroit filed for bankruptcy. This is why I wouldn't be surprised to see SRT's VGT car at Detroit. It would do a service for the city and the company.

Yeah, or better yet it could be a 1 and you get 11.
Though I can't see how it could have been a typo, I mean don't they have at least some form of quality control, or is there someone who just puts it out there without checking. -At PD HQ- "Here, let me change all the dealership colors to matte pink, yep uploading update now..."

Detroit was, is, and always will be the Motor City. Granted, things aren't like they used to be back in the auto maker's heyday, but as far as producing quality vehicles, Detroit is still where its at.

It's...technically the motor city. Not much a city left, but, I guess you could technically call still call it the Motor City with the Viper still being produced there, at least.
