I was beyond sad when the 3rd gen wasn’t brought to Horizon 4 on launch, and that we had to wait like a year or something for it to come to the game. And then it never came back to 5. I’m seriously hoping it makes a comeback in 6. Being my first car IRL, I’d love to be able to drift it around Japan. It’s sad that it’s always been a mainstay in the Motorsports series and then just, isn’t for Horizon for some reason.
