Agreed on all counts, and I like the dated interior personally.  Give me some analog gauges that aren’t always lit up so you can actually remember to turn the headlights on, and the basics for a truck, and you can’t go wrong.  Especially when coupled with the excellent visibility that everything seems to have gotten…

Need for Speed: High Stakes has one of the more memorable intros for me.  It’s pretty intense!

Hot Pursuit 2 is still my favorite Need for Speed game of all time. As far as intros go, however, Need for Speed: High Stakes deserves a mention too!

I’m glad the Frontier is still soldiering on.  A simple, cheap, honest truck that isn’t insanely bloated or overly-tall like most of its competitors these days. 

It’s gorgeous to say the very least.  I hope there’s more in store for the Continental - if I ever get into the wage bracket required to afford one (unless they stick around on the used market for a bit, which would be nice) I’d definitely be happy with it.

Either way, sounds like a hell of a lot of fun! :D

I ‘spose I was referring more so to a focus on low-end torque and enough to get a boat moving as opposed to something that would break a land-speed record. 

Off topic, but I wish that Buick still had at least one traditional, floaty-landyacht in their stable. Not everything needs to have tightly tuned suspension, plenty of horsepower, and a comparatively harsh ride - some days (and some roads) are just meant for a meandering cruise.

That’s a silly reason to swear off of a car that you otherwise like. Buick has had some awesome stuff in their stable over the years, from landyachts to full on muscle cars.

Keep us posted!

I agree - you’d think with the ability to have infinite possibilities when it comes to layouts would be conducive to having at least some starkly different options.

I’m a sucker for horizontal speedometers, non-circular ones, or just clean layouts in general. These days anything that isn’t an always-illuminated display is appreciated in my book though. Here’s an ‘88-’91 LTD Crown Vic, and its simplicity is greatly appreciated.

This looks pretty sweet (as does pretty much everything from the Yakuza dev). Glad a dual language option will be available too - while the English dub seems to be pretty good I think I’ll prefer to play it in its native language.

Technically there was a way to play as Nitrous Oxide in the original PS1 game. It was a bit...more involved than a simple unlock, however!

I still can’t believe they included Destruction Derby over something like Driver.

I think it’s quite pretty looking - an honest, squared off pickup.  You can’t get much else like it on the market today given an over-emphasis on aggressive styling and contour lines everywhere. 

Fuck those rotary knob shifters.  Especially when they’re placed too close to the radio or climate control knobs.

What I wouldn’t give for one of those Delcia Jaspers.  They’re all pretty sweet though - hopefully Mitsubishi brings some of these to North America, sooner than later!

I’m a sucker for the box body panthers.  Yours is in great shape!

Leave him alone, he’s a family man!
