great fun in AWD though.

That picture shows me enough reason to start saving.

I'm wondering why in the list of the unicorns there isn't something "interesting from an European point of view". Even if the Impreza is damn famous over here, and so is the RX-7 even if to a lower extent and mainly thanks to NFS, I bet a very few people know the difference between a WRX and a S204, probably a lot of them would just look at it wondering why it costs so much.

The old Camaro is surely something cool, but you all know how much European guys care about huge American boats, so a very few of them will really want it if not just to buy the most expensive thing out there (according to the Q&A).

I was expecting something a bit more "international".

I raged and posted on the main forza forums, I frankly find it ridiculous that they claim they're unicorns because the cars are rare.. I want to know why they gift you a reventon at level ten?

Probably the US and Japan are their biggest markets.

Sure, which is why they have 3 kazillions of R33s on the list and perhaps zero Porsches (Gran Turismo, that is).

Well Gran Turismo's developpers are based in Japan which probably increases the number of rice rockets included, altough on the last Gran Turismo there were some odd European performance cars included, like the Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II. Likewise, Turn 10 is based in the US, which means the game is bound to have more American boats than the average.

The solution? We have to develop our own driving simulator video game in Europe.

Quick jab at the 360- how come they're fitting so much stuff onto a DVD? Or are there multiple DVDs for Forza 3?

For one thing, I hope Polyphony fills the Blu-Ray to the brim with cars.

There are 2 discs that come with Forza 3. The second disk is just extra tracks and cars. It is my first time playing a Forza game, and I'm hooked! It is highly addictive with all the different possibilities for upgrades, design, videos, pictures, and racing.

I just noticed there's no Nissan GTR road car, the flock?!

Absolutly, it would be fun to rip around in your own vehicle, however I dont think the awd system would be very accurate, it being front biased untill the wheels lost grip or engaged dependant on the tarmac/wheel turn/ throttle lever.

Nissan had made strict rules regarding the GTR's appearence on any game it is shown in, - No damage, - Stock colours only, - No aftermarket wheels..


T10 justifiably told them that they wouldnt want to throw the game off like that for the sake of 1 car.

That and polyphony digital sucks nissans cock.

That blows huge - I wanted to see GT-R vs. ZR1 in this game. Disaster.

yeah - to be fair all the euro cars are available straight up though, i would have thought the 335 testarossa would be a unicorn car but it's available for purchase... although the prices are in line with real world prices LOL

this.
they're not even that rare. the reventon is, and you can just buy a normal murcielago as substitute

[LeonOfTheDead]

wait a second (brain fart coming maybe), what's a "335 Testarossa"?
