I don’t think they ask for much either. We ask for normal cars from there, which is a fairly heterogeneous and varied market, it is not very difficult. The supercars will always be there, but we want normal cars that represent the site, as they did (although also based on updates and DLC) with the FH4, which in the end has been a rather curious collection of cars.
But in the end we always have the same cars as always, with 4 new cars, and they don’t even update the existing ones with a restyling, even if it’s just to make it look different. Because having a 2015 Cayman GTS and a 2018 718 Cayman GTS seems redundant to me, or a 2015 Macan Turbo and a 2019 Macan Turbo; just like the thousand Ford Mustang variants out there. If they put one or two models per generation (the most relevant, the most characteristic) it would be enough, even changing those cars in each game to give a little variety.
VAGs are missing (hello Jetta, Beetle, new Beetle and Beetle 2014), BMW is missing (several models are manufactured there and have good acceptance), and other brands that should appear are missing. And there is a lack of new cars (a LOT), electric, combustion, there is a lack of new cars.
Just to name a few:
Golf MK8 GTI or R.
Jettas (any generation).
Beetle (the original and its neo-retro derivatives).
ID.4 GTX.
Suzuki Swift Sport.
Mazda 3 Turbo.
GMC HummerEV.
Rivian R1T and R1S.
Ford Mustang Match-E.
Ford Bronco Sport (also made in Mexico).
Audi S3 2015 (car already in FM6 and FM7 that does not appear in the game).
Audi RSQ8
Audi RS7/RS6
Audi e-Tron (this one appears in the video of the Forza edition controller).
Audi e-Tron GT.
BMW (new M4, although in view of the fact that it does not appear, I’m satisfied if they leave the ones that were there, which were many).
Mercedes (A45S, G65 AMG new model, EQS 65S, etc).
Volvo (XC90 appearing in FM7 and Polestar 1 and 2).
Chevrolet Spark, Corsa B. And there will be many more that I don’t even know about Chevrolet.
Nissan Tsuru, Versa, Sentra (this is the old Nismo, I don’t know if it will appear in the list, but if it appeared in FH4 that hit like a christ two pistols, I say it will appear in this one).
Renualt. It would be cool the Sandero RS that is sold in LATAM, for example.
It will be for new cars that are sold or manufactured there or at least appear in the continent where the game is set. But taking the Lotus Cortina, an eminently British model, makes no sense, as I have read around, the current list looks as if British tourists have taken their cars to Mexico.
That the Mercedes-Benz X-Class, a pick-up that was only sold in Europe, appears in the traffic is very :dale2:. Hell, put in the Ranger, even if it is sold there and they have it modeled. Then the rest of the traffic is very bland, the Galant, Transit, F150, Silverado, Fiesta and ya. They have the Chevy Spark from FM4, they could have put it in traffic too, for example.
And even if there are months left, there are not many “gaps” left to complete the final list, as they say, at most, 50-60 more cars.
I hope they have at least modeled the old models from 0 and they don’t look so bad compared to the latest additions, you can notice the obvious lack of modeling in the re-re-repeated models in the different Forza games.
