In the clue guessing thread, someone said there was a facebook post by Turn10 saying the pack would be all new. Now, I’m not on facebook to verify, and I’ve had doubts the entire time because if this is their idea of all new then someone needs to invest in a dictionary.
Three cars never before in Forza does not constitute all new, more like half new.
As for my thoughts on the cars:
RC F - Journalists like it, but only somewhat. It does seem to be a bit on the heavy side and it’s a little frankenstein but that doesn’t mean it won’t drive well. We also have several digital tricks up our sleeves that most real world owners won’t be doing. I’m interested to see how it drives and if it feels as big as the GS in game. All I really want to say to Lexus though, is “Please stop using that hideous front end spindle grill. Anything else you try will be better - just look at the new Camrys.”
XJ220 - Yay. I’ll build one and use it if I have to.
M235i- I liked the 1 series M car quite a bit. As most manufacturers’ cars are growing in size from past years, some things are changing and others simply get a new name. Hopefully this is as fun t drive as the 1 series and can pack the punch of the larger M cars under the hood.
LM002- This will be interesting and fun to drive. I’ve always wanted a chance to experience this beast and hoped it would come to the Forza series one day. It will also make a fine edition in my personal garage next to the Urus. Old meets new in a Lamborghini showdown. Please, make a monthly rivals event or challenge where we chase each other in the two Lambo suvs.
Cortina - Not new to Forza and not new to the Xbox One either. All new pack, eh? It’s a fun little classic and it drives rather well. I almost feel as that if it were replaced with a Morris Minor I’d drive it more just for laughs, but oh well… We’ll see if I get any use out of it. As for coming out so late in the game as DLC when it was in FM5 already, meh.
458 Speciale - The Ferrari that got beat by a Mazda RX-7, ok [see R&T late 2014 issue]. I’m actually excited to see this car and give it a spin. Despite liking Ferrari’s and the 458, I have yet to drive the 458 any further than from the autoshow to my garage in Forza Horizon 2. Maybe as I finish up some championships I can drive them both - and maybe I’ll make one well enough for an online lobby. While my Mazda and Toyota track toys and almost any Subaru in the game are beating the 458 twins though, it’s highly unlikely.
