Cars Characters Guide

[RedFan]

I put this together for some other forum, but it was unpopular, so I'm putting it here for anyone to read.

Mater National

We have from Mater-National so far:
A 2 door Rally car:

And a Nissan Skyline and Fairlady Z/350Z hybrid:
Skyline GT-R R34 front...

...And Fairlady Z/350Z rear end.

For comparison, a model Skyline of my own:

As you can see, its the headlights which mainly resemble the Cars character, but note the mouth postition, in the same place as the Skyline's grill.

A model Fairlady Z/350Z from The Fast and The Furious Tokyo Drift:

This one is self explanatory, but we can't see the rear lights, which will ultimatley make or break what car it is.
Please excuse the poor pictures, I used my phone to take them.

I do not own Cars, or any pictures apart from the ones I have uploaded.
This is just my opinion, flame about any inaacuracies if you want, it won't change my opinion.

Enjoy!

Woo on the Monte Carlo SS! There cannot POSSIBLY be enough anthropomorphized G-body cars. I barely got into the original Cars video game before my copy and console disappeared (long story), so I always love seeing pics and YouTube clips.

Thanks for putting what was obviously a lot of work into this post, but... the URL links with the ellipsis in the middle (all of the Mater National pictures on maj.com) aren't working.

I don't know why this was unpopular on whatever other forum you posted to. It's great! I too owe you thanks for posting it.

*Drools over Chevelle and reconsiders buying the game.*

This is a test reply to see if the board is working right. It is apparently not adding my latest post to my post count or post history.

ETA: It worked. Still, one of my posts has been eaten up. What the serious eff.

[RedFan]

Thanks for telling me about the broken link, it should be fixed.
And true, the Monte Carlo SS is awesome, when I saw the Demo Derby characters I looked at them and thought G-Body!

[Thunder McQueen]

Well, are you going to compare the Mater-National characters? They are Emma, Koji, Otto, Gudmund & Giovanni.

Thanks for fixing the link, the Mater National cars look great! They look smoother and sharper than the original video characters, maybe they've found new and improved ways to use the graphics engines of consoles.

[RedFan]

Thunder McQueen, it would help if you would read it.

Yeah, Rhody the screens for Mater-National looks great, I hope you can play as characters like Sarge, DJ and even Lizzie would be funny!

Are the demolition derby cars in Mater-national?

It does bear an extreme resemblance to Boost, but I think it is the same cars as the dude to the right of McQueen:

Yeah, the Demolition Derby cars are in Mater-National, and their first cutscene/video extremly funny.
