5 exclusives vs 4 as the Mini FE was an additional series reward in Rush.
2 of those 5 are extremely strong S1 cars (X-Bow GT4 and Noble M600) while in Midnights the Nevera despite my own personal like of it is one of the worst S2 cars in the game.
The Lexus LC500, nice car but nothing remarkable even just within it’s weak GT Cars car type.
The two Cadillac’s can make decent A Dirt cars so are good for Modern Muscle dirt seasonals but one car in there is better than them both, and guess what? It’s a Cadillac lol, the ATS-V which is just 65k in the autoshow, both Blackwings are just meh for A Road/Street too where the ATS-V also beats them.
Outside of that the car rewards in Rush are much better and would be more beneficial for newer players trying to save credits for the houses, Hotel Castillo in particular, in the first week of Rush alone they’d have been able to get the Hoonigan Gymkhana 10 Focus and Group A Escort, original Aventador, FD Corvette and a McLaren 720S Spider.
The final week had the Bugatti T35 C as a reward from a simple seasonal stunt, the 160pt car for the series was the Porsche 917 LH, the 40pt car for Summer was the Zonda Cinque, Autumn the FXX-K, the 300SL for Winter and although not valuable an extra exclusive in the '84 Civic for Spring.
For a new player who hasn’t been lucky enough to get them in a wheelspin yet that would be 22.3 million credits saved there just on those cars.
The only thing I’ll give Midnights is yes it had 4 new exclusives but that was for us who were already playing, for anyone who wasn’t this re-run of it is like they’re getting 10 guaranteed new cars as the other 6 were/are Hard To Find cars.
But honestly I doubt many looked at it like that.
Based on Midnights winning this I would now guess that whatever looks best/is likely to appeal to people at face value will win their vote, Horizon Anniversary, Donut Media, Japanese Automotive, Italian Automotive, Retrowave, Back To The 90’s and Midnight Muscle, I would be amazed if any of those lose their first vote unless they’re put against one of the others mentioned there.
The troll move from PG would be to have Welcome To Mexico vs Extreme E in a vote one time
