I know vehicles have been big for some people. But, I just don't think the zones are big enough to warrent vehicles >.<
Sorry just my opinion.
But suggestions is a different place on the forums.
And welcome.
I have to agree that vehicles aren't really fit for CoH as well. They work great in a game like AO, but there is a great expanse to cover in that world. In CoH, however, traveling is usually pretty short and punctuated by a lot of zoning (often with a transit system). How much sense would it make to fly in your body plane to the train station?
As for new travel powers, I'm not really too invested in it. Mainly, I wish TP was more user friendly. I guess, if I had to choose, I think the ability to move through walls would be the most useful/fun in the CoH world, but I doubt the present design could support it.

The Dev's have already stated, that this is not "City of Cars*"
*or any other vehicle you would choose
I can see it now... tooling around in my car on the way to my next mission only to be passed by every hero running with Sprint on. :P

On a slightly related note can we at least have the little flyer that the wing raiders and longbow have?

If you head into the appropriate section for SUGGESTIONS AND IDEAS (hint hint) right now there IS already a discussion about this. And several dozen more if you do a search 
Short answer: no. No city of jetbikes.
Long answer: they CAN, they don't WANT TO.

*sigh* well, there go my hopes for the "full speed collision" AoE power.
The best possible way to implement this would NOT be to make it a regular power or a selectable Power Pool option.
The BEST way to bring vehicle travel sets into the game would be to make it the power for the Natural Booster Pack.
In practical application it would be just like using the Mission Transport power... You select a door mission and click on the power icon... You then are transported directly to just outside the mission's door.
The only difference is... you arrive in STYLE... You pull up on a Harley... you screech rubber as you J-Hook your sports car... you are dropped off by limosine... you don't actually travel the entire distance in the vehicle... you just arrive that way... perhaps you fast-rope down from a helicopter... ride up on a horse/unicorn/pegasus...
The only problem I foresee is what other players around you are seeing when you arrive. But still, treating it as a TP power with a twist rather than an actual "drive all the way there" power seems to be the most feasible option.
My mind wanders so often you've probably seen its picture on milk cartons. - Me... the first person version of the third person Steelclaw
I want my travel power to be orbital drop pods.
Failing that, thrown out of a plane, especially in Inv tankers.

Eh, in my opinion, just make them alternate animations for sets we already have...want a motorcycle? Alternate animation for Super speed. The obvious Jetpack = Flight thing...
Honestly, most any mode of transportation we could want can be done via alternate animations now probably. Hell, heres an easy one to fix...
Invisible Jet - Flight but with a sitting emote running.
Can I have a Chopper? Please I promice to be good!

Hey i was thinking about this new movement powerpool/set... You may know of it since i have been talking about while in-game. Its called "Motors" and the powers would be Skateboard/Bike, Motorcycle/Moped, Car/Customized Motorcycle, and a Small Plane/Body-sized UFO pod! Tell me what you think and add to it if you want!
