For whatever reason I thought there would be way fewer cars in this game. Pleasantly surprised about how long the list is. #buildingthelist
I feel sad for those who like American cars, but as a European and after a lifetime of hilarious propaganda about how the Mustang is "the ultimate car" and how 'muscle cars' are desirable, this car list is a breath of fresh air!
Needs more Japanese cars though. And European classics, gimme an A110 please.

No Skyline's?
I only buy racing games with every skyline every made.
Honestly though, that is a small list. I think that's normal for a non-sim though.

I love this list. I need this game in my PS4 HDD like now. Come on Sony just release it EARLY!
I agree. The game has already gone gold so just put that up for sale now!

That makes no sense. Variety is the spice of life.

Pretty short list...
Where have you heard the whole "ultimate car" thing? Mustangs are great cars, I can say the same about Corvettes. Tons of fun. They lacked quality build at one point, but they've improved a lot in the last few years.
Exactly, which is why it's refreshing to have a (western developed) computer game where American cars aren't emphasised.

Turn 10 has assets from 4 games they can use.
In pretty much every movie about cars I've seen in my entire life? You can replace Mustang with any other of the American muscle cars though. Don't get me wrong Smokey and the Bandit is a great film though ;-)
EDIT: I understand that if you're from the USA you probably don't realise it, but Hollywood is hilariously slanted towards portraying 'muscle cars' as being the best cars in the world. An example, Gone in 60 Seconds, they steal loads of other cars that are far more desirable, but of course the 'ultimate car' is a Mustang.
Face it Tiger..

I agree, Evolution and PD should work together & share assets.

But we see these cars in tons of racing games, Ferraris, Porsche/RUF, Audi, etc ... they are staples if not requirements, just like American cars like the Mustang, Vette, etc ..
I ain't too mad. I tend to gravitate towards the more exotic anyway but I love how Vette's usually handle in these games.
EDIT: Ah, you're basing this on American car culture pushing American cars in American movies. Carry on!
I think you're just projecting a bit here. That car was a collector and it had "history" with the guy. Most of the other cars were newer exotics.
Still buying it day one, but I agree with you 100% - overall pretty sparse selection - I would have liked to see more given the time in development.
Probably the price we pay for the visual orgy that is DC.

You're right on the money there.
Indeed, unfortunately we don't get many British car movies to redress the balance anymore.
I'm not saying they shouldn't be in there, just that due to focus that American cars usually get (above their real world status I would argue) in videogames and movies, it is a nice change to see someone break from the norm.
While I can certainly appreciate the cars in the list, I can't help but feel a little disappointed at the notable lack of key cars from other regions of the globe. I'm fine with a game featuring 50 cars. Not every racing games needs 1000 cars. However my personal preference would be to feature 2-3 key performing cars from notable manufactures.
Except they don't even have Lamborghinis even with a Eurocentric list.
And yes, for me, that's a huge dealkiller. My biggest goal in any racing game is to get the Lamborghinis. On top of that, seeing as I don't even think I've seen a racing game who dared not have one, I'll admit I've gotten used to them being in a game so I consider it severely lacking if a game doesn't have one (so I am not even trying to console myself with, "Well, that's just your personal ultimate car." because it seems most games agree with me that Lamborghinis are a staple and there should at least be one or two).
Thats what i said in the other thread. It will shorten development time for both developers if they can collaborate. Gran Turismo definately needs better engine sounds and would benefit if they can get their hands on the Evolution Studios library of recordings.

Didn't we already know the number of cars in the game? What is is about seeing the number printed that suddenly brings gasps from people?
Beats me. The car count was known for months. Then there's the crowd that's moaning about no Japanese cars.
Evo can't please everyone. Ditto ^^^.
I'm not saying it's a perfect list, just that it's different to the usual, which some people will dislike and some people, like myself, will appreciate.
And flyinpiranha, that was just the first thing that popped into my head, there's hundreds if not thousands of examples out there. It's an obvious and easily explainable phenomena that American films marketed at American audiences would feature American cars, it's just with the predominance of Hollywood it can become tiresome when you're not in the targeted demographic.
The ones that didn't know?
Think this could be my first season pass, if the game ends up as great as it looks.
The lack of Lamborghinis is a disappointment to me as well but there are still some epic cars on that list like the Atom V8, Alfa 4C, P1 etc.
I do hope the DLC has a wide variety of cars from all over the world though.

No, PD shouldn't work with anybody. They can barely work with themselves.
This is wrong. Forza Motorsport 5 did not use any assets from the previous games. They rebuilt all the tracks and cars from the scratch. Everything else got cut - courageous decision. That's also why the game did not has as much content as previous Forza titles. But that shouldn't be the topic here, just wanted to correct that statement.
PD gives car models to EVO and EVO gives trees clouds rain and sounds tech to PD.
WE ALL WIN.
I agree. I think it will set the bar for current-gen racing games. Played FH2 demo, despite of how may people are trying to hype it up, it's not looking "awesome". Great, but never had a "wow" moment like I've had with Infamous or KZ in terms of visuals.
