I was thinking, will they put any new vehicles in WA? I was thinking for transportatio around town in France, what about those taxis they have in europe? And some fancy european cars like mercedes or bmw`s. In egypt, iam not sure.In china we could have cool futuristic looking cars, or hondas amd toyotas.
Please tell me your ideas!!

Ummm...anyway, I hear that there will be scooters in World Adventures, which seems appropriate. I think little beater cars would be funny, vehicles with their bumpers falling off and scratches and dents all over. Ha! Since the Sims spent all their money on their world advneture, it's call they can afford when they come back.
Hondas and Toyotas aren't Chinese cars.
edit: seems like every other person in france owns a peugeot, so maybe we could also get one of those.
Right now, the only way the Sim can *own* their own vehicle is if there are two or more on the lot, and the car pool *still keeps coming!*
So, fix *that* for me, EA and I will happily buy my Sim a motor scooter...provided it costs less than $975 for the cheap junk car, but has as much speed.
"We Don't Care If You LIKE The Game, Just As Long As You BUY The Game!"
I Disapprove (Naturally)
I Took The Pledge!
Egypt: bicycles, mini-buses, camels
China: rickshaws, toyota, dragons
what, dragons??! ... :shock:
maybe you can't drive it but burn your sim with it....
If by "cars," you mean material already loaded into the game, then I think the following might be good ideas:
Egypt: I hate to say it, but whomever came up with the idea of the "camel" in place of the "car" probably has the right idea here. The camel would fit the adventure theme, and for an adventure/vacation EP, "cars" really only fit the adventure portion. You could add in a Jeep or a Motorcycle like those seen in films like Indiana Jones, but the camel just seems to make more sense in the "transportation" category.
France: Again, when I think "France," I really don't think "cars," but a Citron of some sort would be pretty cool if only for the fact that they're not really available in the US, because of the unfortunate translation of "Citron" into English as "Lemon."
China: Again, China isn't really a country that conjures up images of the automotive industry. I think a bicycle would be more appropriate here, and might even be a good idea in France as well. I suppose whatever the most popular brand of bicycle is in China could be "Simified" for WA, but I really can't think of a car for China.
In truth, the "problem" with WA and cars, is that none of the countries in WA are really "car countries." If EA had used Japan instead of China, you'd had a slew of options between Toyota, Honda, and even Mazda to choose from. If EA had included Italy, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bugotti, and even Fiat would all be brands worth looking at. If EA had included India, then something from Tata would be an option. If EA had included Germany, the Volkswagen Beetle, would be a cool car to have. However, cars really don't mesh with the Sim-style caricatures of China, France, and Egypt.
Finally, this brings me to my one criticism/question about "World Adventures" as a whole. I'm assuming this game is going to be localized outside of the US, correct? Isn't the whole point of having towns with names like "Sunset Valley" and "Riverview," to make it so that the game could be set anywhere? How will EA localize this EP in China, France, and Egypt respectively? For example, will they remove "Sim-China" from the Chinese version of WA, "Sim-Egypt" from the Egyptian version, and Sim-France from the French version, and add in a "Sim-USA" instead that's focused around something like the old west, or Las Vegas? I actually think it'd be better if we were getting "Sim-Asia," "Sim-Europe," and "Sim-Africa." That way, we could mix and match cultural elements from multiple countries within each of those continents, which would allow for a far more unique experience, that would admittedly be more consistent with The Sims as a whole.
Could be fun. lol!

Here here! Make the cars we currently have more useful first.
Scooters, Motorbikes and yachts for France would be awesome!
Rickshaw for China would be a really nice touch!
What do you mean with taxis we have in Europe. I´m sure the USA has taxis as well.
I would like to get SUVs for in Egypt. So we can cruise the dessert and don´t have to stay on the main road.
yeah..I miss it from TS2 :P
And your last point is a very good one! That seems like a grave error on EAs part... They should of done continents, like you said
