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.
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.
