Talk:Windsor: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 07:51, 17 September 2009

I would suggest that it's not closest to an e-type, but is closer to this [1] without the alfa logo.

In my opinion, it has nothing from an Alfa. And remember, "Windsor" is a very British name (like the Jaguar).--Loadingue 18:27, September 12, 2009 (UTC)

I doubted this but I'm surprised it looks alot like the Alfa Romeo Spider. The E-type is very curvy, and look at the windshield it almost goes straight down. Alfa Romeo Spider has an angled windshield, uncurvy lines, but he grille looks like the E-type.--Thescarydude 23:34, September 12, 2009 (UTC)

Well, the grille's a little taller than the Alfa's - but the E type's doesn't have any straight lines. I admit the name implies britishness, and for a long time I subscribed to the E-type school, but then I had a closer look at both Windsor and early Alfa. Vanderath 17:46, September 15, 2009 (UTC)

This wiki isn't a place to prop up "IMO"'s. Until Rockstar North reveals at least something about the car, virtually all this speculation on similar real-life counterparts remains SPECULATION. Besides, there are just about as many people who lean towards the idea that the car is based on the E-type, as well as the Alfa or both. You want to satisfy as many parties as possible, not spark edit wars. Mention of both cars stays. - ZS 17:57, September 15, 2009 (UTC)

I think it isn't an opinion to compare things, it's more fact than opinion. Rockstar isn't just gonna go out say what the cars are based on (lawsuits? Maybe they can but they won't). There haven't been edit wars over this car, that's why it's being discussed, civilly. Anyways with the car, I thinks it's safe to say it is based on both the Alfa Romeo and the Jag.--Thescarydude 19:18, September 15, 2009 (UTC)

Good to hear. Sorry for the somewhat rude reply though, but experiences with Wikipedia has left me a poor impression of wikis in general. - ZS 10:09, September 16, 2009 (UTC)

I'm fine with agreeing on hybrid, i just felt that with this and at least one or two others, the similarity wasn't as set in stone as an article without a discussion page implies, and that having one at least gives us a chance to compare notes on alternatives. Also, Re: bad WP experiences: Yeah. I hear that. One reason I never edit, but instead hit the discuss page.Vanderath 07:51, September 17, 2009 (UTC)
