Happy new year everyone! May 2020 bring your requested vehicles & bless in-real life.

[555-We-Tip]

I bought a lot of these.

 

Use the Krieger in Supers races, and I haven't regretted that.

 

Love the look and sound of the Rebla GTS. One of my favorites from this year or any.

 

Hellion is a serious off roader that looks great and is pretty unique to this game.

 

Arena War had a lot of great muscle cars, really enjoyed all those too. Deviant especially.

[APB]

Schlagen GT, Kreiger, Tullip and both Gauntlets are the ones I bought (won the Schlagen GT through Casino). I plan on buying the Imorgon too once it releases. 

 

All of the cars that have been released this year have been great in my opinion. None of them were Jester C level of disaster. However I think we got more awesome cars last year, in terms of numbers that is.

 

Here are pics of some of my highlights:

Spoiler

 

Car of the Year for me has to be surprisingly the Schlagen GT. I was surprised by how good and awesome it was after I won it at the Casino. Never had much of an interest for AMG GT Mercs until now.

 

Since I missed last year's thread, Car of the Year for 2018 is Comet SR. It was just the best all around sports car, and it was long overdue for a modernized GT2 RS/911 Turbo in GTA universe.

[Willy A. Jeep]

Was an interesting, varied year for vehicles in GTA Online, no doubt. Lacking in aeronautical vehicles, unfortunately, but delivering on fronts that had long been neglected at the same time. I'm mildly disappointed with the Casino Heist's selection, but the offerings from Arena War's dripfeed and DC&R more than make up for it. Planning on buying an Asbo, Vagrant, Kanjo, Sugoi, and Zhaba, but that's for 2020. I'll list the new things I bought, the old things I bought, and the things I sold in three lists below, from best to worst.

 

2019 Vehicles:

1. Weeny Dynasty - It isn't a Checker, but the spirit is there, and it's a clean classic done right! It leaves some customization to be desired, but the Dynasty is way better than another restomod with a stripped interior. My "Vehicle of the Year", no doubt.
2. Bravado Gauntlet Classic - I really don't like the real-world Challenger all that much, but I really do enjoy the Gauntlet Classic. Not much more to say. A sign of good things to come for fans of other cult classic cars?
3. Vulcar Nebula Turbo - Speaking of cult classics, the Nebula is almost perfect. Almost, if only that sunstrip and those mudflaps were options. I'd have also preferred a sedan, but hey, I can't complain too much when its #3.
4. RC Bandito - Despite being a bit of a gimmick and getting close to the label of "meme vehicle", I have a lot of fun zip-zapping around public sessions with the Bandito. A fresh perspective and a fun, no consequences toy all in one.
5. Vysser Neo - Always good when Rockstar adds a new marque to the game, shows that they're still willing to be creative. I'm not usually into modern cars, but the luxury aspect of the Neo won me over, and it's not just another perfect-handling sports car.
6. Ubermacht Zion Classic - I kinda regret not snatching the Appreciation Thread for this one. Good customization in a classic BMW, a marque I traditionally dislike but find hard to resist here. No complaints except about everybody else on the road.
7. Declasse Tulip - Four-door with blue collar heritage and racing appeal. No rust liveries and a curiously bouncy ride leaves the Tulip sitting in my garage a lot, but it's still proudly maintaining a spot with all the other muscle cars.
8. Annis Hellion - An 1980s off-roader from Japan? How unexpected! Especially after the Kamacho killed the class last year. The Hellion's slightly lackluster performance and forced off-roader style means it's not my favorite, but I still bought it.
9. RC Tank - It was free!

Old Vehicles:

1. Volatol - It might be totally and utterly useless in public freeroam, but wow do I love flying around in this giant polygon. I have an affinity for early Cold War aircraft, and the Avro Vulcan is one of the best, so I just had to have this as my hangar centerpiece.
2. Vapid Apocalypse Imperator - If there was ever a single muscle car I wanted Rockstar to add, it was the Last of the V8 Interceptors. And here it is, and it looks great. Drives a little stiff, but it doesn't matter when it's so perfect otherwise.
3. RM-10 Bombushka - If you thought I was dumb for buying the Volatol, wait until you hear that I bought a Bombushka and don't use it for anything! Only time I flew this in a public lobby I was shot down by some dork with an explosive sniper. Woohoo.
4. Buckingham Nimbus - Wanted a private jet, so I bought a private jet. Decided the Luxor is too average, the Shamal is too business, and the Luxor Deluxe is just plain gaudy, so the Nimbus was the obvious answer. Until something better comes along.
5. Enus Stafford - Won from the wheel at the casino, bringing my total Stafford count to four. Still enjoying it a year and a half later, whichever one I'm driving.
6. Ocelot Stromberg - Newest addition to the fleet and another casino win. Never wanted to cough up the cash to buy a Stromberg, as cool as it is, but then I didn't have to, so it's now enjoying a place beside the Torero.
7. Bravado Apocalypse Sasquatch - Arena War again rears its ugly head. Had a lot of fun leaping around the Vinewood Hills and Grand Senora desert in this thing, but it's a novelty more than anything.
8. Benefactor Apocalypse Bruiser - Another Mad Max tribute that I couldn't deny. Fun to barrel through traffic with and featuring some great customization, but still only a novelty outside of the Maze Bank arena.
9. Vapid Apocalypse Slamvan - Wheelie Steve doesn't do much wheelie-ing, to be honest, and is kinda not fun to drive. But my friends get a kick out of it, and I haven't had the heart to let it go.

Sold:

1. Vapid Slamvan Custom - Liquidated my last lowrider this year. I hadn't driven it in so long, its place in muscle races long since supplanted, and I just didn't find it enjoyable enough to keep around when better cars were on the horizon.
2. Declasse Tornado Custom - Second character's only lowrider, and of all the rarely-used cars in #2's ownership, this one hadn't been out in over a year. A Nebula Turbo sits in its place, and I drive that all the time.
3. Cheval Surge - I had one of these in my garage for a long time, then forgot about it and picked up another. Discovered the old one and sold it. Net zero.
4. Vapid Sandking XL (x10) - Late last year I stocked up on blue NPC-modded Sandkings, just in case I needed some extra money. Didn't need to sell as many as I collected, but $184,950 goes a long way when you're upgrading multiple Indian taxicabs.
5. Declasse Vamos - A beautiful car with some serious handling issues. Even with its wandering steering, I was perfectly happy to leave the Vamos in my garage and go about my business, but then the Gauntlet Classic came and the Vamos went.

[Standard Deluxe 59]

The car of the Year for me is of course the Gauntlet Classic. Its beautifully modelled, has a unique interior, drives decent, has many liveries, tons of customization and overall just one of those cars that sets the bar for update cars to come. (Total owned: 5)

 

Coming in 2nd place is the Gauntlet Hellfire which is just tons of fun to hoon around in. Extensive customization, good performance, and a significantly better modern Challenger lookalike than the original Gauntlet. (Total owned: 5)

 

Third place i gotta give to the Paragon R, it's everything the original Cognoscenti should've been. Nice, drives good it's a good Bentley Continental lookalike. (Total owned including armored: 3)

 

Coming in at number four, the Declasse Vamos. Say what you will about its handling, there ain't much denying it's a damn good Nova lookalike. (Total owned: 2)

 

Number five, the Schyster Deviant. I like AMCs although I would have preferred it to be a stock AMX/Javelin. I quite like the way it drives though and the Trans Am livery really tops it off. (Total owned:2)

 

Declasse Tulip, I thought this car was released last year. I like it, has some get up and go to it and you'll probably never see a four door Chevelle in another game. (Total owned: 1)

 

The rest are well, there really isn't a notable hierarchy of cars I like so I'll just list what is notable. 

 

Annis S80RR, it's a cool LeMans racer, well detailed and the only single seat car in the game. (Total owned: 1)

 

Weeny Dynasty, an out there car for sure, it's slower than daylight but it has character and it's decently modelled. (Total owned: 1)

 

Ubermacht Zion Classic, pretty good late 80's BMW 6 Series. Could be better if it had a straight six instead of a four banger. (Total owned: 2)

 

Vysser Neo, it's a sort of obscure car that's for sure. Probably not well known to most players unless they're motorheads. (Total owned: 2)

 

Progen Emerus, I like it. Its handling plays well in my favor, I don't think it's bad looking, prettier than the Krieger in my opinion and as long as I don't shoot myself in the foot, I can usually beat many racers in stunt races with it. (Total owned: 2)

 

 Peyote Gasser, it's a cool drag racer from a bygone era when an high performance engine, a high front end and fat rear tires were the keys to a good quarter mile time. (Total owned: 1)

 

Lampadati Komoda, it looks good on the outside and is clearly supposed to be a Giulia but it's let down by that interior which seems to have been a rushed job. 

 

Vehicles Sold:

1 Schlagen GT from my main character. 

 

1 Thrax, won it the day of the casino update, but I didn't like it very much. 

 

1 Pariah. I like it, but I don't need two of them. 

 

1 Brutus, it was cool for awhile but that wore off. 

 

1 Primo Custom, I didn't need two of those either and the regular Primo looks a little better with its non cambered wheels. 

 

1 Armored Cognoscenti, again I didn't really need it, plus I already have two regular Cognoscentis and two of the 55s. 

 

1 Tempesta

 

1 Turismo Classic that was done up as a custom job rather than a stock looking F40.  

 

1 Insurgent Pick up Custom, I never used it so I got rid of it. 

 

1 Scramjet, again I never used it. 

 

1 Swinger, that engine note is horrible. 

 

1 Deveste 8, I never liked it but it was necessary for racing. 

 

1 Nero Custom because the S80RR took its place. 

 

1 Toros, I'm not much of an SUV guy let alone bloated station wagon crossover ones, but I bought it because I had the space at that time. 

 

Cars to Buy

2 Sultan Classics

 

2 Albany VSTRs

 

Ocelot R88 or the PR4. Maybe both if I can clear the space. 

 

Might buy a Kanjo and a Sugoi for the hell of it. 

 

*Total owned includes second character cars

More things

[Rumblebud]

My pick? Sultan Classic.

 

 

skrrrrrrrt

[TheLordMarvel]

This is, by far; the best vehicle in the game and the best of the year.

 

 

Gauntlet Hellfire!! Simply put, it's phenomenal  

 

[Mach1bud]

In my opinion Arena Wars and the Casino update had the best selection of vehicles we have ever recieved. Bought many of these.

Declasse Tulip- Near perfect car. Could have used rusty liveries and wheelie bars though.

Declasse Vamos- Perfect car. Handles like it wants to kill you.

RC Bandito- Some of the most fun you can have in this game.

Schyster Deviant- Engine note leaves something to be desired but the r/w/b livery and detailed engine bay make up for it. 

 

Annis Hellion- Sand dune climber truck with badass mods. Engine model swaps. Just wish the sound changed with it. Hella fun in the snow.

Bravado Gauntlet Classic- Damn near the best car in the game. Could have used wider back tires and a little more raspy exhaust note.

Bravado Gauntlet Hellfire- Same as the Classic. Actually I think this car is damn near perfect. 

Enus Paragon R (Armored)- A surprise for me, I like this car. Sounds good. Hauls ass. Looks tough.

Truffade Thrax- Won this from the wheel. Drove it once then parked it in the garage.

Vapid Peyote Gasser- One of my favorite cars in the game. No negatives from me on this at all.

Vulcar Nebula Turbo- Has a V8 swap and rusty liveries. Had to get it. Just wish the sound changed with the swap.

Weeny Dynasty- Cool car. Has a sleeper exhaust note. I dig Checkers and this is close enough for me. 


Zion Classic- Exact same as Nebula Turbo.

 

Invade and Persuade Tank- Got it free like everyone else. Meh. Fun but less fun than the Bandito.

 

Still need to buy-

Retinue Mk2- Kinda meh but gonna get it anyways. 

JB700W- It's about time I can have a normal one of these.

Might buy this year if they get released on Tuesday-

Drift Yosemite- I already know this vehicle is going to disappoint me like the Drift Tampa but gonna get it anyways. Maybe it will sound good.

Albany V-STR- One of the few modern cars that I like and have wanted in the game.

[SummerFreeze]

Plan to buy:

 

Asbo, Bugstars Burrito, JB 700W, PR4, Retinue Mk II, S80RR, Sultan Classic (money is not an issue but I try to keep my garages structured and around 100 vehicles in total)

 

Own:

 

Deveste Eight (for stunt racing)

Dynasty (I'm a fan of classic cars, but not sure if I'm going to keep this one)

Gauntlet Classic (favorite muscle car)

Issi Sport (most fun to drive)

Krieger (great performance and easier to drive than the Emerus)

Locust (fun to drive even though it doesn't drive like it should)

RC Bandito (great for trolling aggressive players)

RC Tank (haven't run into aggressive players yet; busy playing heists in invite-only)
Vagrant (all-around awesome car)
 

Sold:

 

Deviant, Vamos (didn't like the way they drive)

Gauntlet Hellfire, Tulip (I might buy these again at some point)

Emerus (ugly)

Komoda (won at the wheel and didn't like it too much)

Paragon R Armored (served no real purpose to me; would have kept a free regular version)

Schlagen GT (not a fan of modern sports cars)
Thrax (not a fan of Bugattis)

 

Best vehicle of 2019 IMO:

 

 Vagrant

[IceDree]

2019 has been a good year for me despite R* skipping the March update, most cars were on point & they delivered some heavy hitters.

 

The Diamond Casio Heist.

 

While the DCH roster is not as good as the DCR one, it brought a varied selection nonetheless.

 

For me, its all about the Übermacht Rebla GTS & Lampadati Komoda. I've picked up a Grotti Furia & a Dewbauchee JB 700W, but I'll get back to them down below.

 

Of the dripfeed vehicles, the Dinka Sugoi is the one I'm excited for the most. I'm not into Civics, but I always respected the Type-Rs & the Sugoi clicked with me for some reason.

 

I'm indifferent about the Dinka Blista Kanjo, but it'll complement my Sugoi & Jester nicely, & its only 300k.

 

I'm conflicted about the Albany V-STR. I like it, but I just can't get excited for anything GM anymore.

 

I kinda like the Nagasaki Stryder, already unlocked the trade-price for it & might eventually pick it up when it goes on sale.

 

I don't care about the rest.

 

 

The Übermacht Rebla GTS.

Easily the star of the DLC for me. R* nailed the exterior design, unmistakably a BMW. Very high quality & the panoramic roof is the Cherry on top.

Unfortunately both the interior (FMJ ) & the mods for it sucks, especially the suspension "upgrades".



Score: 9/10.


The Lampadati Komoda.

A modern Alfa Romeo, good looking, fun to drive & sounds great.

 

Unfortunately they cut some corners with it. The 2D Lynx taillights don't belong to a 2019 vehicle of this caliber. And that Frankenstein interior is just awful. Nero dash, FMJ front seats & Schafter rear seats with an odd tint that doesn't allow it to look good in any color besides black. It could've used wider rear tires too.



Score: 7½/10.

 The Grotti Furia.

Most of you who know me, know I've been asking for a mid-engined V8 Ferrari for years and I was really excited about the Furia in the beginning, but it failed to deliver.

A Pininfarina Battista with a bit of a Ferrari F8 tributo headlight influence, Lamborghini Huracan Performante front bumper & side skirt, Koenigsegg doors & an Aston Martin Vantage diffuser. The Dewbauchee Seven-70 have more Ferrari influence on it than the Furia.

 

It handles well, but its right in the middle of pack top speed wise, think Pegassi Tempesta.



Score: 4/10.


The Dewbauchee JB 700W.

Not bad, but they should done better.



Score: 5/10.

 

 

The Diamond Casio & Resort.

 

It was well worth the wait & the long drought imo. DCR brought some of the best cars in the game, nothing comes close to the quality of the Bentley and the Gauntlets.

 

 

The Enus Paragon R.

The MVP ladies and gentlemen. Perfection on wheels.

All the design elements fit together perfectly. The Bentley body, BMW M3 front bumper & the Mercedes E coupe taillights just work. It looks like something the designers at Crewe would actually do.

I mean, just look at it!







It even have a unique high quality engine, inspired by the real Bentley.


(GTA wikia photo)

 

Performance wise, it handles just as you would expect a heavy GT would & its no slouch either. I've been driving it everywhere and I always return to it, even after the badass Gauntlets were released.

I thought about getting more than one & I was really tempted on more than one occasion, but I just can't imagine it in any other configuration than mine.

Score: 100/10.

I don't like the "reactive armor" on the armored one though, I just pretend it doesn't exist.

 

The Bravado Gauntlet twins.

This is one of R*'s finest moments, right up there with the Progen GP1. They deserve a standing ovation for both cars. Definitely all time favorites.

I wasn't expecting them to be this good to be honest. I was adamant on trading the Vapid Ellie for a '70 Gauntlet whenever they decide to add it, once I saw the model files I almost cannibalized my muscle car collection to accommodate my Gauntlets, but at the last minute, I decided to separate the Mopars & give them their own dedicated garage.

Like most of us regulars in the Gauntlet threads, I got a bunch of them & I'm thinking about getting a fourth HF & park it in my master penthouse separate from the rest of the Mopars.









I've named my Hellfire triplets the Eddies.







Unfortunately they dropped the ball with the engine model & mods available to the Hellfire, uh well. 

GC Score: 9/10.
GHF Score: 8½/10.

The Truffade Thrax.

I like it, but I don't exactly love it. The design almost works ... Almost. Something is off & I can't put my hands on it. It fails to have the same kind of impact the Nero had when it came.

 

Handles well & its faster than it feels.

Anyway, I bought mine full price in the first week of the dlc & I don't regret it one bit.



Score: 7/10.

 

The Vysser Neo.

Well designed & frankly I never thought R* would ever add a Spyker to GTA. The Maserati taillights & Aston Martin headlights work well with the Spyker body. Kudos to the designers.

It have colorable Nero interior, scissor doors AND a glass roof. The stock wheels are cool too & it sounds great as well.

My only problem with it (design wise) is the damn carburetors, wtf R*?!




Unfortunately the handling of the Neo leaves a lot to be desired. Think pre-fix Itali GTO, but without the power.

 

Score: 7/10.

The Vapid Caracara 4x4.

I'm not a fan of the 2nd generation Ford Raptor, come to think of it, I don't like modern Fords at all. Anyway, the Caracara 4x4 had potential & the prospect of one particular configuration took me down memory lane, so I just had to get one. Usually, I'm against "nostalgia builds", but I made an exception for this one ... For old times sake.



It looks good & performs well for a vehicle of this size. I just wish it was wider.

Score: 7/10.

The Lampadati Novak.

Nothing to see here folks, keep moving.



Score: 2½/10.

 

The Übermacht Zion Classic.

I was excited for it, but it just didn't do it for me.


 
Score: 6/10.

The Obey 8F Drafter.

Good car. Looks good, handles well & sounds good too. Ugly headlights though.

So much BMW influence it could easily pass as one.

Score: 7½/10.
 

 

 

 

 

Arena War.

 

 

The Benefactor Schlagen GT.

Well designed car, the fusion of the Mercedes AMG GT, BMW Z4 & BMW 8-series concept works pretty well. It sounds great & handles well too.

Sadly it have Prius tires & the mods aren't that good, especially the exhaust options.

 Score: 7½/10.

 

The Schyster Deviant.

Well designed car, I prefer it to the real Javelin.

Sadly, its all show and no go, just like the Nightshade a few years prior.

I went for the Hot Wheels look on mine.

 

Score: 6¾/10.

 
The Declasse Vamos & Tulip.

Well designed cars, but not for me.

I couldn't get the Vamos to my likings and decided to cut my losses. I'll get rid of it when the next group of Muscle Cars arrive.



I'm indifferent about the Tulip.

 

 

Older Vehicles.

 

I bought a lot of old vehicles in 2019. Some of them I liked, but always hesitated & finally pulled the trigger. Some were just a spur of the moment kind of thing & I reckon I sell them when the time arrives.

 

 

Truffade Adder.

Pegassi Osiris.

 Obey 9F (4x).

I always liked it and I regret not buying one sooner.







Declasse Tampa (again).



Vapid Bullet.



Declasse Voodoo (2x)





Mammoth Patriot (again). 



Annis Elegy RH-8.

It took 6 years for me to claim the free one lol.



Imponte Dukes (again).



Lampadati Felon.


 

Grotti Turismo Classic (second one).



Grotti Bestia GTS (second one, birthday gift from me to me)



Grotti Carbonizzare.



Grotti ... Cinquecento.



Übermacht Zion XS (again).



Pegassi Monroe.



Pegassi Vacca.



Bravado Gauntlet (again).

I was getting desperate and losing hope in getting a proper Hellcat ... Fast forward 5 months later, R* delivered.



I couldn't get myself to sell it, but I have to soon.

The motorcycles:

Save for the Nightblade, Diablous Custom & Avarus, I bought everything in this photo in 2019.



The Airplanes.

I picked a Valkyrie & a Molotok this year. I now own all the Pegasus airplanes and helicopters in the game.

Side B&M, We need more Hangar space.

On the naval front, it was mostly quiet, I just renovated my Yacht & finally moved from the Pisces to the Aquarius.

 

 

All in all, its been a good year. My collection went from 85 to 124 & welcomed 39 new cars.

 

- Top 5 Vehicles:

 

1. Enus Paragon R.

2. Bravado Gauntlet Classic.

3. bravado Gauntlet Hellfire.

4. Übermacht Rebla GTS.

5. Lampadati Komoda.

 

Vehicle of the Year: Enus Paragon R.

Worst Vehicle of the Year: Lampadati Novak.

Disappointment of the Year: Grotti Furia.

 

Phew, that was mouthful.

How do I get rid of that gif?

[GAUNTLET HELLFIRE]

Muscle cars are my favourite cars and 2019 was a great year for them. It brought in my now all time favourite GTA car the Hellfire.

 

 

I bought at least one on every character and multiple on my main character. I still need to buy more to have different liveries. I wish the front splitter was a little bit smaller but apart from that this car is perfection.

 

The Gauntlet classic is my second favourite car in GTA online. That thing is just perfect.

 

I'm not really a supercar fan but the Krieger is pretty nice to drive and looks ok. 

 

The 8F Drafter looks amazing and has pretty good customization.

 

The Paragon R Armored has really grown on me and looks really good with the right livery.

 

I like big utes and the Everon didn't disappoint. That is actually my favourite car from this dlc. Also loved the Caracara 4X4.

 

I didn't like the Komoda at first but I bought every car that was released in the casino heist and after customizing it I really liked it. I sold all the other cars but kept this and the Everon. Also kept the Asbo because of how stupid the thing is but I'll never drive it.

 

I'm looking forward to the V-STR and the Sultan Classic.

 

All the musle cars from 2019 were all good.

[Need For Madness Auto]

 

For Me,Weeny Dynasty Is 2019 Car Of The Year Since It Has More Customization & Has Reference To Our Indian Culture.I Glad That It Was Added This Year.

[Lotte]

Arena War

Declasse Tulip: This one whips. after keeping it in my 2nd favorite cars garage for a while i've moved it into my top cars garage
Declasse Vamos: Bought it and sold it. A very cool looking car that's too weird with it's handling to keep it around

The Diamond Casino & Resort

Annis Hellion: This thing absolutely rules. very fun to drive with a very punchy driving feel. in my top cars garage
Bravado Gauntlet Classic: it's a muscle car that is very well modeled with a lot of cool options! also in my top cars garage now
Vulcar Nebula Turbo: while it is well modeled with lots of mods, the handling is atrocious. bought and sold it later
Weeny Dynasty: cool car but kind of hard to justify keeping it around because while there's nothing wrong with it there's also not that much endearing me to it either. sold.
Zion Classic: has the essence of a vanilla V car in stock form for some reason. sold it but i dont remember why

 

The Diamond Casino Heist

 

Maxwell Asbo: A cool car with a lot of fun mods but i kinda feel like it's on thin ice as far as me keeping it or not goes
Invade and Persuade Tank: we all got it for free, remember

 

The Diamond Casino Heist (unreleased)

Karin Sultan Classic: the price is steep as hell but i like the cars that its based on enough to consider dropping the money on this. traction bonus is a huge plus
Dinka Blista Kanjo: a cool car that i will probably buy on account of it being so customizable and relatively cheap
Ocelot R88 & Progen PR4: messed around with these in a fivem server and might be tempted to grab these when they go on sale in like a year

yeah , it was an interesting year. most cars were spot on , generally , although I wanted way more cars in the casino heist DLC .

from februar till end of June , I didn´t buy any single car (that´s 1/3 of the year) ! but then I bought a few of course .

here is the full list of the 2019 cars that I´ve bought so far (and plan to buy for sure ) :

 

The Diamond Casino Heist

 Dinka Blista Kanjo.*

Invade and Persuade Tank.

Karin Sultan Classic.*

Maxwell Vagrant.

Ocelot R88.*

Progen PR4.*

Vapid Retinue Mk II.

 

(* : I´ll definitely buy those day 1)

 

The Diamond Casino & Resort.

 Annis S80RR.

Benefactor Krieger.

Bravado Gauntlet Classic ( a lucky wheel´s win)

Bravado Gauntlet Hellfire.

Enus Paragon R (Armored).

Enus Paragon R.

Obey 8F Drafter.

Ocelot Jugular.

Progen Emerus.

Truffade Thrax.

Vapid Caracara 4X4.  ( lucky wheel´s win)

Vysser Neo.

Weeny Issi Sport.

Zion Classic.

 

Arena War.

 Benefactor Schlagen GT.

Declasse Vamos.

Principe Deveste Eight.

RC Bandito.

Schyster Deviant.

 

add to those the Vacca ( yes , the very first time that I own a Vacca , after 6 years) , the LCC Sanctus ( I´ve won this with the lucky wheel) , the Grotti Itali GTO , and the Vapid Hustler , that´s 4 cars from the previous years .

in Total, 26 Vehicles so far in 2019 , so the average is 1 new vehicle every 2 weeks for me this year...

 

vehicle of the year ? again , it´s a bit tough , so much quality in 2019 in deed ... but here is my top 5 of the year in the right order : 

1. Ubermacht Zion classic ( I feel the R* listened to me right there ,I´ve posted a pic of the M635 CSI like 4 times in the vehicle wishlist thread, and here we have it now )

2. Enus Paragon R (excellent car , excellent performances, and nice price , including the armored version)

3. Pincipe deveste Eight ( awesome look and performances )

4. Weeny Issi classic ( this is the biggest surprise of the year hands down, so underrated, and I hate the Mini)

5. Benefactor schlagen GT

 

honorable mentions go to : Maxwell Vagrant, Benefactor Krieger , RC Bandito , Obey 8F drafter , Invade and Persuade Tank ,Ocelot Jugular, Annis S80RR ( should be actually in my top 5 , but it´s just a recycled RE7B so ) .

 

all 4 upcoming cars form this DLC that I plan to buy are already spot-on , but they are yet to be released so they won´t make any list for now ...

In addition the the Sanctus , Gauntlet classic and caracara , I got 3 other vehicles that I already have , with the lucky wheel ( infernus classic, Nero and Ardent ) , so i´ve sold the ones that I´ve owned and made extra $$$...

 

It was a nice year of automotive in GTA , hope this will continue in 2020 ...

It's fair to say this has been one of my favorite years for cars in GTA Online. 2018 was utter crap until Arena Wars which was anything but crap. 2017 was decent but not really shocking. 2016 was pretty good but most cars until the later part of the year were still of vanilla quality. So on and so fourth.

 

This also feels like one of the only years where most of my requests have been answered. It always felt like they used to avoid the types of cars I like but this year, that changed. On top of that, quality has been boosted and flags were fixed!

 

It's also been a year that's been very heavy on the speccing process for me. Lots of crew colors I made myself based on OEM colors from multiple different brands, and I've used harmless RC 2 Car and Car 2 Car Merge glitches to get the most out of my cars such as unobtainable interior colors, chrome secondary finishes and more. I've revamped my garages and everything to be immaculate and for all of my cars (old and new) to be exactly the way I want them and perfectly organized. Kind of a lot of work for a game I only play for a total of 2 or 3 months out of the year. But, let's go; first briefly detailing all of the new cars I've bought this year and then my top 3.

 

The Cars I Bought this Year (In order, roughly / not including unreleased cars):

• Schlagen x2 - I originally bought 4 but settled on 2. A Green Hell Metallic AMG GT R spec and a Piedmont Green AMG GT C spec.
• Tulip - fits nicely in my classic garage next to the Impaler.
• Vamos - also fits nicely and drives heavenly despite those who simply can't drive who say it drives like crap.
• Paragon R x3 - I bought this one ASAP and then another. And then another. I currently have 3, each with different interior colors and OEM Bentley paint finishes (Orange Flame, Apple Green & Jetstream II Blue)
• Drafter *sold* - I bought it and it did not grow on me at all. I had replaced my Neon for it and while there are no regrets there, I also just got rid of this as well.
• Thrax - Basically a coachbuilt Nero that handles better but is overall the same. I keep it in my supers collection, nice to look at, needs to be faster.
• Issi Sport - I didn't really look forward to this car and was surprised. It's very fun to drive and so nice to see a hardtop modern Issi. I keep it in the back of my MOC.
• Caracara 4x4 x2 - I'd been waiting for this and was shocked to see what the customization allowed so I purchased another. One is a blue Raptor, the other is a blue Shelby F-150. I am a Texan so...
• Neo - I quickly purchased this one and set it up in a Spyker burnt orange, its looks gave me TDU2 vibes but its sound and handling left a lot to be desired. I wouldn't say it's so disengaging that it's the modern equivalent to an Ocelot Swinger... but it's certainly almost that bad. It just collects dust
• Gauntlet Classic - I snatched this up in Plum Crazy on white and had a lot of fun with it.
• Emerus - I quickly purchased this before my Fall Semester had started and did it in Mauvine Blue. Surprisingly fun to drive and very snappy.
• Novak - Returning this December after a lot of schooling, I picked this up and already had it and everything else set to go as far as speccing. Blu Inchiostro. It's not bad but what I picked up next impressed me more.
• Komoda - Quickly set this up in Misano Blue and had a lot of fun with it.
• Rebla GTS - Already had Marina Bay Blue set to go and did a full on debut BMW X5M Competition spec. Was pretty much hooked on this car.
• Zion Classic - I had fun driving this and quickly did the glitch for a cream interior. Not sure I'd like it as much without it.
• Gauntlet Hellfire - Went for B5 Blue and a widebody Hellcat build. Super fun car.
• Jugular - Did full on XE SV Project 8 in Velocity Blue. People were impressed with this car when new but the Komoda somewhat spoiled it for me. Still great however.

My Top 3 Cars of the Year (not including unreleased cars (VSTR would likely take second place)):

1. Komoda - I think this has to be one of the best handling cars in the game. Couple that with the fact that it's a [fast] four door, has been designed and branded pretty damn good and accurately, has been the easiest and most satisfying for me to spec, and is addicting to drive. A lot of new cars become my main car and then I get back into my usual routine but this is pretty much a do-all car and thus my new go-to car.
   
    
2. Paragon R - This is probably one of the coolest, obviously based on the new Continental GT of which I've seen and photographed in real-life. An otherworldly car and they captured that well. I had to go to extra lengths to achieve the unique specs I wanted only for them to fix that issue a couple of weeks ago But it was well worth it. It's the ultimate cruiser, the ultimate looker and really we've been due for a proper "Bentley" for ages. Did I also mention I have 3?
   
    
3. Rebla GTS - This makes it because it's a very simple car that I needed but didn't really know. It's a proper "BMW" with all the right mods to make it look like a proper X5M Competition. It sounds right, it's fast and it handles right. It does almost everything right. Even has a sunroof. If only the seats could be colored brown (instead the stitching is). It would be my main car if it weren't for the Komoda.
   

 

Probably the most cars I've bought in a year for this game. By all means the most engaging year. Definitely makes up for the crap-shoot that was 2018.

My top cars are the Zion Classic and the Gauntlet Classic 

 

Zion:bout of all the cars this year, it’s the one I spent the most time in

 

Gauntlet: looks perfect, sounds perfect, and drives perfect

 

Honorable Mention: Patched Itali GTO

Not released this year, but it got a much needed patch, and it’s so fun to drive

Could you tell me the Hex of Jetstream II??

[GTA-Biker]

Vehicles that I bought:

Deviant

Tulip-cool to see a four door muscle car in GTA,I think the only one other than Tulip was Polaris V8 from GTA VCS

Vamos

Dynasty

Gauntlet Classic

Nebula Turbo

Zion Classic

Asbo (second character)-it kinda looks similar to my real life car from the front,so I bought it to try to make a replica

Blista Kanjo (second character)

JB700W-finally a version without those stupid looking fake guns around the hood,though too bad it's quite expensive because it can have optional weapons

Retinue Mk2

Sultan Classic (second character)

 

There were some pretty cool new cars in GTA Online in 2019,I would have liked if there were some motorcycles too (not counting trikes,only normal bikes),and at least there wasn't a bunch of mememobiles with weapons and other gimmicks,so I'd say it's been pretty good when it comes to vehicles.
