Ahh, here’s a car that I regretted was missing from the game at launch. Very curious what they have in mind.
Let us do a logic problem:
No free car in December DLC but a car was found to be in the game that was only available through a workaround.
Workaround was closed in this month’s patch but car is still available to those that have it.
New car shows up on Facebook after new DLC without another free car.
Logic says formally free DLC cars will now be Unicorns.
This should go over well…grabbing my popcorn.

This sounds plausible, even more intriguing considering the source.
If this does mean the return of Unicorns, I would actually be happy with that. Unicorns were traditionally awarded to people that engaged in community activities, such as livery & photo contests, guessing threads, races against the community team etc… If that returns it might actually give this place a shot in the arm; there’s currently no point in creating liveries for contests as the exposure is minimal and in-game currency is near-meaningless.

The boards and Forza 6 appear to need a shot in the arm. I may be mistaken but, it does not seem like many people are playing judging from leaderboards. Numbers seem lower than past Forzas.

Lol! I have missed these boards…
Er, If they have the Nerve to charge for this… So help me I will write a letter!
This would literally just be a port from 5 to 6. So no T10… No.
You literally paid again for every FM5 car that was included in FM6 at launch. And maybe Jonk or someone else there can comment, but if the ForzaTech engine is evolving, cars have to be redone for both physics and sound and light and function (wipers et al) for the new night and wet features, it’s not just a port from one game to the next.

That is correct; every car that goes into Forza takes considerable time & effort to build, test, tune, license, etc. Some more than others. Forza 6 shipped with over 450 cars, many of which were updated from Forza 5 or Horizon 2 (a lot of work by a lot of people), many of which were updated from Forza 360 games (considerably more effort in terms of time & resource), and many of which are brand new to the series (a massive effort taking many months per car).
None of these cars get magically ported from one game to the next with the press of a button or running of a script. It takes artists, engineers, audio designers, gameplay designers, testers, and licensing specialists a lot of time and effort that most of you don’t think about, and really shouldn’t have to, when you get behind the virtual wheel and take them for a spin. Track or world expansions are all that effort multiplied by a very big number.
All that effort mentioned above sometimes comes with additional cost to the player (buying the full game or buying DLC car packs or expansions), and sometimes no cost (free cars or free expansions).

Forza 4 to 5 cars - Noticeable difference and added Forza Vista features to nearly all the cars brought over from 4 in DLC - Pretty much justifying the reason paying for them.
Forza 5 to 6 cars - Hmm… N… No… As much as I love Forza, I couldn’t justify paying for it again. That’s too far for me.
Hmmm…
I wonder what else (if anything) will come back then. Perhaps more, I wonder how it will come back.
To me it looks like the 312 PB which wasn’t actually in f5. Could be wrong though.
Possible track expansion with a few free cars like they did for 5?
we can hope
at least, i hope so, how likely this is though, is another question
only time will tell once the stream is up at 3PM Pacific
All aboard the hype train folks, next stop is the Forza Friday stream.
Seriously very curious about this though.
Just bring back the BMW M3 DTM from FM5 pls.

Oh I know no more than you do these days but I can figure out things pretty easily when you just simply have to think about what happened in December.
Unicorns a great motivators for community interaction, just don’t know how well this will play out for the majority of players who don’t visit this forum or read articles on this site but do download the free car each month. Now they will have to jump though hoops to get it, here is hoping these hoops are at least interesting to jump through.

The problem with this one though is it is only available to half of the people who try for it.
And it is only available to the half that can do well online.
At least with the previous unicorns there were various ways to get them.
Exclusive cars are just not right in my opinion.
They should have another method of getting this car that other people can have a go at.
Now I am sure if I could be bothered to play the game I could get this car so that is not the point.
I just see bad decision after bad decision (in my opinion).

Maybe you should throw another tantrum? I could use a good laugh!
