i have some ideas on which cars can be put in

Honda Civic (any kind of civic they all look the same)

Cadillac Escalade

BMW 550i

Audi A6

Toyota Land Cruiser

Volkswagen Passat

Nissan Primera

Mercedes Benz E63

Ford Focus 

thats all i can remember haha

[TDUZoqqer]

I personally would just check the statistics of the hawaiian DMVs and pick the most registred ones for each body type.

 

Just when I hear people want to put in AMGs and Lambos in to traffic gives me a little bit of aids.

 

E: For example: the most popular truck in Hawaii is the Toyota Tacoma.

And this can be extended further.

 

E2: here we can see Nissan, Toyota and Honda being the most popular brands in Hawaii.

http://carmarkhawaii.com/popular-car-brands-in-hawaii-2014

 

" The most popular models on the island early this year were the Toyota Corolla, Toyota Prius, Honda Accord, Honda Civic, and Honda Fit. "

 

 

Meaning stuff like Corolla, Civic and Sentra is pretty much a must.

 

 

Also, I assume the CrownVic is the only logical replacement for the police car.

E: Although, Honolulu uses the Taurus now.

 

And look, we already have 5 of the 18 cars figured out.

 

Also, looking for the most common used cars for sale on Autotempest or Autotrader for Hawaii could be insightful aswell.

 

On Autotempest I see many Challengers, Mustangs, Velosters and Altimas.

 

" The top 10 best selling car brands in the state are Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Ford, Chevrolet, Kia, Subaru, Lexus, Hyundai and Mazda, with the Toyota Tacoma light truck outpacing all other models, according to the report. "

First i must see which traffic TDU does actually use. I will ask Djey on how he managed to edit the traffic in the patches 1.68 and 2.00.  But yeah, i wasn't thinking about "cool" cars as BMW 550i and E63 AMG.  USA has a bunch of boring stuff, such as Ford Expeditions, Camrys and Corollas. 

[TDUZoqqer]

well too bad I already started modeling a Tacoma

 

 

[Milli]

It is fine, Tacoma is fine. Lol 

Edit: TDU has a bunch of little SUVs to replace.

isn't that the whole point of having traffic cars in racing games?

 

To be honest with you I will become more bored of seing AMG's and Lambos in traffic all the time than when I'd see Corollas and Expeditions.

 

By the way, I love the Ford Expedition.

Yeah, i share the same thought.  Traffic cars are meant to be bland. The cool cars you will see in TDU streets will be other players. Simple as that. Lol

[TDUZoqqer]

When you have any complains about the Tahoma for traffic - you're too late by now lmao. I has a face now

 

Btw, I need to work now so yeah will continue traffic later. And please make a list of cars to make.

This is great, and I'm glad to hear actual car representation is a priority.

Also for cars, I only know whats common the east coast USA, but I assume Oahu isn't much different.

Anyway, a good way to see what they have for real is google maps street view, lol.

-img-

Lol, that's great. Haha

And i've came up with a possible list. 

Compact1 - Nissan Altima
Compact2 - Toyota Corolla
Compact3 - BMW 3-series
Fullsize1 - Acura RLX/Honda Accord
Limousine1 - Dodge/Chrysler Grand Caravan
Minivan - Chevrolet Express 3500
Pick_Up1 - Dodge Ram 2500
Police1 - Ford Taurus
SUV1 - Toyota Tacoma
SUV2 - Jeep Wrangler Unlimited (4-door)
SUV3 - (Haven't seen in game, possible it's not being used)
SUV4 - Chevy Tahoe
SUV5 - Honda CR-V
SUV6 - Ford Expedition
Taxi1 - Toyota Prius

I didn't added the trucks, because those are not really necessary, i believe, unless you feel like modeling a Kenworth. Lol 

Any suggestions?

[TDUZoqqer]

sounds like a neat list to me really

 

about the trucks idk yet will find out with the time

[Eudemon]

I am not making blogs. 

[Nick1999]

Will there be a 1980 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 in the game? Or 1990 Chevrolet Corvette C4? Would be sweet if you add them

To be honest for a second I thought about requiring login to download

Because even tho we are getting lot of traffic from launch but most of them come download and leave, thats why there is a huge surge of bounce rate (people who visit and leave within 20 seconds ) so downside is we are not seeing registration go up from this one time surge of traffic 

But then I decided not to be a dick because it's not my work (out of respect for all creator ) and I want to be free and convience for all user and visitor
