could maybe make it a Backstage Information Thread or something

post details about what the cars are, how they can be obtained, maybe how often they’ve appeared, that might be useful and achievable

anyway, if anyone wants me to vote for anything do let me know; if I have an interest I’ll do what I want anyway, if I don’t have an interest but don’t hear anything I’ll probably not vote

the only notable thing I can see for these four is that the Toyota Trueno is listed as being a Wheelspin car, though that’s not a guarantee (eg, Spaik Mask is listed as a Wheelspin reward but pretty sure I’d have had it by now if that really were the case)

Trueno is a Wheelspin car indeed.
The Ferrari 575M is a Playlist car that appeared thrice, in Series 2, 11 & 31.
vs
The HDT Commodore is a Playlist car that appeared twice, in Series 11 & 22.
The Lotus Esprit V8 is a Playlist car that appeared once, in Series 31.

at least the Honda S2000, Honda S2000, Porsche Cayman and Porsche Cayman are all autoshow cars; thankfully the Lotus Esprit and Lotus Esprit '80 have unique names

lol yeah, i thought the regular huayra was coming to the backstage not the huayra bc lol, pretty sure they just said huayra not huayra bc.

I’ll probably vote for the pair that are both htf; the sensible choice, really

I voted the Lotus and HDT pair. Two HTF cars are better than one HTF plus a wheelspin car.

yes, but given the totally mad voting in Horizon 4 I’m not holding my breath for what I believe to be the most sensible result

There’s more reasons to consider IMO. I don’t think I’ve overlapped with comments already posted but could have some. Also, when votes don’t go the way that’s expected it might be worth asking for and listening to people’s reasons.

Some people will vote for the cars they actually like. I feel this is the best reason for a vote but that’s just me. IRL I would rather have an AE86 over the Commodore and a Maranello over the Lotus so I can understand why people would vote that way.

Some will vote for what they can sell for the most. In this case the AE86 is reliably available and fluctuates between 9m and 12m, the Maranello is around 2m. I’m guessing that the Esprit should still be at 20m. The Commodore idk offhand. I’d guess it to be around 1m or 2m, or at min.

Some will just vote against certain cars.

Wheelspins are a reliable source for the Gladiator, Countryman etc but not for getting something specific. Because of this I prefer having non-autoshow wheelspin cars included but I understand why some disagree.

I joined FH4 after the voting era so I have no clue about its mad voting :smiling_face_with_tear: But considering there’s a Toyota Trueno (or some would call it an AE86) in the other pair, I’m pretty sure that they will win the vote and be added to the backstage next week. Since the AE86 is EXTREMLY popular in some Asian countries like Japan and China. :joy: Don’t know why, but it is a fact. We haven’t seen a Toyota in NFS for years, and yet the latest NFS Mobile developed by Tencent does feature an AE86 :joy:.

good points

fair point there, too

okay, maybe “backstage voting information thread”, just stats about what’s happened, so how the car can be acquired, how many times it’s been a reward

seems like a goer?

I’m okay with anyone saying whatever if it’s related. It seems like a good idea to have a place for people to complain / question / vent / promote etc.
