This is just a pipe dream, but I really would like to see something like a 90's Car Pack.

Some I can think from the top of my head are:

Dodge Viper GTS
Chevrolet Corvette (C5)
1st gen. Acura NSX
Lotus Esprit
Lamborghini Diablo
Mercedes CLK-GTR

etc.

There's a lot more I can think of but these are what instantly came to mind.
 
This(The Viper):

And:
1969 Chevy Camaro Z28
1970 Chevy Chevelle
1970 Chevy Nova
1971 Plymouth Hemi Cuda
 
While I'm generally happy with the car choices in S2U (really love having cars like the E30 M3, R500 and Big Mac), there are some curious omissions.

<snip>

For the record, I'd even happily pay extra for these cars...

Oh yeah... I would cough up for a DLC with just the new supercharged S4 and the brutal RS5 in it - everything else would be bonus 👍
 
I would really like to see the Saleen S7-R (LMGT1 2010 le mans winner) in the game and the Spyker C8 Laviolette GT2-R....

This two cars and the two DTM cars from last year and I would be very happy.

EDIT: there was also an Ascari in GT3 last year I really dont know why it didnt make it into the game.

(Ford & Holden) V8 Supercars please.

EA/SMS, you can't give us Bathurst and no Aussie cars to race on it! :ill:

Totally. S2U should go where GT5 can't or won't.
Give us one Torana, a Gemini or whatever and a late model Ford + Holden.

And a few porsches.
 
I'd also pay happily for an 90's pack with the cars like

Jaguar XJ220 (one of my favourite cars of all time:tup:)
90's Viper (though it may come with speedhunters dlc)
Ferrari 550
Ferrari F50 :drool:
Lambo Diablo
Lotus Esprit
Merc CLK-GTR
Lister Storm

And a new career branch with races like XJ220 vs F50 or F1 vs CLK-GTR(this was so fun in NFS 4 last championship, i remember it took me countless times to win it, i was like 8 y.o. Good old days:D)
 
I was expecting them to put the the newer models of the cars that were already in Shift 1. They just have done that with the Ford Focus ST - Ford Focus RS.

But what about the others, like:

Audi TTS or TTRS
Audi RS3
VW Golf R
VW Scirocco R

This cars are already there! They just had to give them the stronger engines (and a 4-Wheel-drive in case of the Golf)
 
Yes some older supercars would be great F40, 959, Diablo, EB110 SS.

Maybe some sport saloons W124 500E, E34/E39 M5, Lotus Carlton or newer ones like the Panamera, AM Rapide, AMG CLS 63.

But it's already a nice carlist :)

We have the old Infiniti V35 G35, not the newer V36 G37. Strange because the V36 coupe is a 4 year old car. Not to mention faster all around.

We have the old B7 S4. Certainly no complaints about that since that is my daily driver and I like it quite a bit. But we don't have the newer, quicker, better handling B8 S4, which has been around for nearly 2 years now.

Onto the RX-8. We get the launch version of the car, not the improved mid-cycle update built since 2009. Several worthwhile changes to the car including suspension updates, final drive and the new R3 package.

Same story with the WRX STI. Love having the older (some say better and I agree) 'Hawk-eye' GD model. But where is the GR?

GTI... Exige... etc.

And for heavens sake, the Challenger has been in showrooms for 3 years now. Why do we get the 'Concept' version?

Other MIA cars are (in no particular order)...

  • Lotus Evora
  • Cadillac CTS-V (Sigma II sedan)
  • Mercedes C63 (W204) with AMG Performance Package (includes slippy diff)
  • BMW 335is Coupe
  • Ford Mustang Boss 302 Laguna Seca
  • Audi RS5
  • Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8 R-Spec
  • Corvette C6 ZR1
  • Dodge Viper ACR/ACR-X GenIV.II
  • Honda CR-Z
  • MINI JCW Cooper
  • Tesla Roadster (ya rly)
Superlaggera LP570-4 version of the Gallardo would be nice... or better yet the Balboni.

Might seem odd, but I'd like to have a plain-jane 997.2 Carrera in the game. Even if the Cayman S will lap faster.

Classic/Retro

  • Audi Sport Quattro
  • Datsun 240Z
  • Porsche 968 Clubsport
  • Lotus Esprit (S1)
  • BMW 2002tii

There's a whole slew of race cars that I would pine for, but the lack of updates on street cars EA obviously already has licenses for is odd. Maybe it's a contract driven issue I'm not aware of, but from a customer's point, it seems weird.

For the record, I'd even happily pay extra for these cars...

...if EA would simply make them available to PC users.

I agree, it is strange that they have left in cars that have newer models, some as you say that have been around for a number of years. Another interesting one to note is the Dodge Challenger. It is still considered a concept car in this game, the same as it was in the first Shift. Which, IIRC, was strange back then because that car came out at roughly the same time, if not a little bit after. Same can be applied to the WRX's many of which have been in the NFS series for a long time. Since carbon even. Same for the RX8 like you say. Which have both been in since the Carbon days at least, perhaps even earlier.
 
This one is a sentimental favorite being I own and race a 88 Mustang GT.

I'd just like to see a fox bodied Mustang in any racing game for that matter. Its one of the most recognizable cars and one of the cheapest cars to modify.
They are brilliant cars with the right suspension and tune.

Could be another retro car. Maybe?
 
So much , but here are a few;

Corvette ZR1
2010 Subaru impreza WRX STI sedan
1996 Subaru impreza GT Turbo
Mercedes SL65 AMG black series
Volkswagen golf R32
Dodge viper Competition Coupe GT3
Dodge viper GTS-R
Mercedes C-class and then convert it into a DTM race car trough Works
Noble M600
 
I´ve really loved the inclusion of some of the my all time favorites cars. But missed though:

BMW 2002 Turbo ´73

Ferrari F-40
Ferrari F-50
Ferrari F355 F1

Jaguar XJ220

Lancia Fulvia
Lancia Stratos Rally

Lambo Countach

Porsche 959
Porsche Panamera
