This decade meaning from 2009-2019.
NFS: MW happened in 2005, and it kinda showed with the car selection. But what if this story happened in, say, 2015? What kind of cars would they be driving?
Now don’t just stop with that car: elaborate on their tune, what dress-up widebody kits their cars have, and color schemes. They still have to more or less be in line with what they are as people, and as tuners. Maybe some of them have the newest, greatest supercars, or maybe they’re vintage runners with absurd power in otherwise sleeper looks, or tuner-house specials.

BONUS: We’re expanding the list to bring in five others, totaling 20 Blacklist drivers. Where would you situate these five new members, and what cars would they drive?

If there isn’t at least one Rocket Bunny FRS/BRZ/GT86 and a RWB 911 in each list , then those lists are wrong!

True. I’ve figured Kaze and Sonny would run ZN6/ZC6 builds in today's scene.

Nah, Sonny would have a visually-modified Civic Type R but leave it mostly-stock to really capture that “My parents brought me this car for college after suing your parents ” feel.

I think most are pretty forgettable, but what replaces the top dog in the E46? What’s that cool and understated these days? Maybe like. A Tesla. True sign of the times, but they’re quick and desirable.
Or maybe a real fast 1 or 2 series. It’s sort of the car the 3 series used to be, and with a bit of power it would be a weapon given how small.
But really I don’t think cars are desirable in the way they once were. Sporty and racing cars aren’t really in, it’s all SUV this and market segment that. Sure, cars are faster than they’ve ever been. But eh.

All of them drive Saturns now. Crime doesn’t pay.

This would be an interesting bunch to have. I don’t think all of them would be 16-20 (especially if we go with daender’s answer regarding Sonny’s ride ), but that said I think only one or two would get in the upper 15. I’m thinking Esper and Fernandez are a safe shoo-in for 14 and 13, respectively.

To be fair he did tune his Golf somewhat (a Golf which I beat with a bone-stock Punto lul), so I’m guessing an ECU flash and a bigger turbo, maybe shorter gearing and some carbon parts.

lul the E46 is a race car. If anything the lead car would probably be more like a McLaren P1 GTR, or at least something that is very obviously not street legal but still based on something streetwise. Hrm... 911 GT3 Cup-MR ? Or something like that.
But really I don’t think cars are desirable in the way they once were. Sporty and racing cars aren’t really in, it’s all SUV this and market segment that. Sure, cars are faster than they’ve ever been. But eh.
...I guess? I mean it would be absurd fun to pull up with an F-Pace SVR to face a BMW X4 M, but that’s not a compelling kind of race. I’m guessing about half the cast would have tuned build on Cayman-tier car s while the rest have supercars. Razor, probably would have an RTR Mustang , the Japanese cast would have either GT-Rs or NSXs, and guys like Ronnie and Webster would snap up an Aventador and a Ferrari.

That just left a power vacuum, though. Which means a new Blacklist.

German sports sedans with cracked windshields, failed air suspension, and mismatched tires
