Cars GT6 Should Put (Volume 13)

In a galaxy far far away, just off our backyard, lies Leopaul's Blog; boldly pushing the boundaries of car culture because there's some CARS GT6 SHOULD PUT.



Cars like...

1) Mitsubishi Outlander 24G '12

WHY: The past Gran Turismo games featured the old Airtrek crossover but for GT6, I want to see the latest-generation Mitsubishi Outlander just for comparison's sake. Do please, feature it while you can!

2) Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV '12

WHY: Don't forget also the PHEV version because when both of these showed up on GT6, I get the chance to drive both the petrol and the PHEV version of the same car, also for comparison's sake.

3) Mazda Axela Sport 20S Touring '13

WHY: Back in GT5, the first-generation Mazda Axela was featured by I wish GT6 to feature the next-generation model, complete with SKYACTIV Technology and KODO Design. So far, no existing video feature a SKYACTIV Mazda model but I really want GT6 to be the first to feature it. Come on, a Mazda with SKYACTIV Technology needs to have a digital debut.

4) Mitsubishi eK Custom '13

WHY: Never wished a Mitsubishi on this segment but maybe the latest Mitsubishi eK Custom would do. I wonder if this car fare up against any other kei cars in its class in the game? Let's hope that GT6 should feature it so I can compare this to the defunct Suzuki C_rv_ kei car.

5) Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG (W222) '13

WHY: There's a new version of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class out there and there's also the high-performance S63 AMG launched as well. Hopefully, GT6 should feature the latest S-Class AMG model and that will make me very happy. So far, the only AMG model with the 5.5L V8 BiTurbo engine to be featured on GT6 is the E63 AMG (the facelifted model). Hopefully, we need more of those...

The results please? So, if Polyphony's still on the rethinking process whether these cars I've mentioned will be featured on Gran Turismo 6, whether in game or as a DLC, you can't say that I didn't had a bit to do with that.

Take that to Kaz Yamauchi!
