In an ideal world, we’d get only #NewToForza cars in every update. Unfortunately, in reality it’s impossible for various reasons (unless we’re fine with getting no more than three cars each month, just like in Gran Turismo 7).
So I decided to create a wishlist consisting only of cars that already exist in previous Forza games launched in the post-X360 era (so that they possibly already have ForzaVista features done and don’t require too much additional work from Playground Games).
I wanted to highlight cars that weren’t present in Forza Horizon 4 (with exception of a few must-haves - other than obvious Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, or Lancia models - that are missing in FH5 for some unprehensible reasons). That’s because there are many great vehicles that could be easily (I think) added to Forza Horizon 5 and welcomed as a fairly fresh content.
I believe recycling would be much less irritating if Playground Games reached for cars that were not introduced to the Forza Horizon series yet or at least were absent in the previous game. Anything would be better than the feeling that we’re unlocking cars we were driving just yesterday (with exception of some must-have models that should be available in FH5 from the start).

Of course, this is only a subjective selection (and limited one). You can find not dozens but hundreds of other fitting cars in previous Forza games. And the number would be even bigger if we included cars from Forza Motorsport 4 or Forza Horizon 1 that were not added (yet) to any post-X360 game…
