Does anyone know why cars got openable front and back ? all 3 cars that I own, have that feature.

Some quests might require you to fix an engine (nomad prologue) or put something in the back. Makes sense to put that functionality to all cars.

To make me look like an idiot when I go around the back of the Caliburn and open the engine instead of the trunk.

If they would go in depth with this, perhaps we could upgrade our engines, add some addons, that would be an epic immersion thing for a RPG.

In GTA you can open your trunk, doors and hood via remote! and start the engine!

Honestly its quite cool when you are having a custom car meet.

Probably a left over from vehicle customization would be my guess, or in some way some devs left over attempt at making vehicles real, before the neutered realism in the game.

You can do that with call cars.

You can put people in trunks. And in some quests you'll find things/people in the trunks of cars.

you can put people in trunks. Some quests make you put or take a box or something from the trunk

Ive had rescue missions where I put the person to be rescued in the trunk of a fixers car.

Nomad prologue has you fixing the engine of a car.

When designing cars, there is no reason why not to make the trunks and hoods interactable. They can then be used in any future missions easy.

edit: the hood can also pop off when the car suffers damage... Good that the engine underneath is modeled.

With the nomad prologue, you have to fix an engine. Other than that, there's absolutely no reason to open the front of back of a car. You can literally put a body in your trunk without opening it yourself. The animation will automatically open the trunk, drop the body and close it.

As for the stash in your car, you also don't need the trunk open for that.

So I'm sure it's a holdover from when there were going to be actual options and customizations with cars.
