I don't think so. I remember the times, when there was no Quad. The players used a lot of the other vehicles. The overall runspeed was slower (heyho clipping) and running through the wastes was a pain without a verhicle. The Reveller was much slower then eg. the Hovertech. You had to hide your vehicles, if you let them behind. And when they got destroyed: Ouch! Peoples bought a new one. Killing Vechicles....Joy. Evolution 2.2 killed not only the vhc-pve combat, but the overall vhc-balance.
