Many players already know it, but it's safe to say that the AI's "cheating" cornering in the Aston Martin DB4 Zagato is one of the most entertaining things in this game.
They go around most corners on three wheels, and with an unbelievable grip and speed!
 
The Baja has definitely turned out to be the best car to use, at least for me, with the right tune as, since using it, I have run the Trial about 6 times and have won probably 13 of those 18 races as the Baja tune I am using suite my driving style perfectly....though almost all the races had at least one AI not far behind me (a couple of the race 3 events, I managed to beat the AI by a handful of seconds)
I'm guessing you play with a controller or keyboard? The Baja seems to cause fewer problems for those players than it does for me, as you can very quickly provide the opposite steering input. With a wheel, you can't really provide full opposite lock at all, never mind quickly, so what happens with most cars in cross country is the car gets sideways at some point and simply slides sideways until it stops, at which point you're in last place. The Alumi is by far the least prone to doing this when playing with a wheel.
 
In the co-op race, it took me a few tries. I was in the Class 5 VW buggy. I finally got it but it was under weird circumstances. Our team lost the first race. Four drivers dropped out, but the two of us that remained won the second race on points. For some reason, my remaining teammate dropped out (possibly not by choice) leaving me on my own for the last race. I came in third, which was enough for me to win the race 300 to 250, and the overall championship.

You are quite correct in that I use a controller. I didn't realise that the VW what that big of an issue for wheel users...guess I always assumed all cars are better with a wheel (teach me to assume things again!!). The Baja still cause problems for controller players too...a few people I've run with have struggled with it even though they are better than me (and have better throttle control due to using the triggers versus me still using a button for accelerate)...maybe it's just the combination of controller, auto gearbox and my preferences that make it ideal for me
 
I don't remember who was asking about this, but the 92 Supra indeed has the 2JZ engine swap.

And there's 4 cars in the Forzathon shop this week, for some reason. 280SL, 300ZX, Rimac (again?) and MC12 Corsa
 
The seasonal shop have 4 instead of 2 cars :)

I must say, the new Express Delivery business is a refreshing improvement over previous businesses. For the first time I was genuinely amused by some dialogue! (ducks are an easy way to amuse me) I also noticed that in one of the levels your character is shown standing on the phone while holding boxes, I point this out because I do believe I criticized them awhile back for not putting in any small details in the businesses. And to see them make moves towards fixing that is great to see! It's not perfect but it's improvement, and that's all you could want.

"We don't have a firm timeline on them".
"Hopefully one day we'll have a more satisfying answer on that"

That sure looks like PG communicating to the fanbase to me. It's clearly not the answer a lot of people would like, but they're being honest, and I'm not going to give them grief over it.

I mean yes it is still them communicating but IMO, very poorly.

After one whole year of this, that's all they can muster?

Like shoot me for expecting a little more out of PG on this one, but surely they can at the very least shed some light as to why it's taken so long and that they are actually still coming.
 
So they can add more cars to buy in the Forzathon shop but can’t expand the garage count to 1,000 cars instead of 750?
They just made more exclusive cars available to purchase in the shop. I want to believe they will update the garage limit but I'm skeptical for two reasons. We still have enough space for another year of content and there's an easy workaround for those that want to collect multiple duplicates. Oh, and there's is the save file issue, so three reasons.

But isn't it a bit unrealistic to expect straight answers from devs? Like at the start someone could have asked if the Supra would come back and they responded with maybe or stay tuned. What answer is that? But they couldn't respond differently or could they? There could be so many reasons behind. And they really don't need to share their business strategies with everyone. Imo.

What is the workaround? I've been banging up against the garage space limit for over a year now. I've mainly had to delete all but one of all my exclusive cars.

Delete the cars available in the showroom.:D
Yes I know, bad joke. But if people don't want compromises even 1000 slots won't be enough. Someone wants all stock cars + favorite tunes + all body options + different paint jobs + a collection of spare exclusive cars just in case. How many slots would it take?

There is an easier solution - they can just allow people to choose a tune to apply to their chosen car when they go into ranked adventure or any other situation where you currently need to have multiple copies to be able to use the tune you want after learning what tracks and conditions you'll be racing. Then we'll only need to keep one of each car.

The problem with deleting autoshow cars is you'll just keep winning them back in wheelspins, as it won't give you the option of rejecting them if they're not duplicates.
 
I guess you are right. I doubt we will ever see that option

My biggest problem with Forza, wheelspins. Would it be so bad to just recive a notification? Instead you are forced to spin it every now and then without any choice to refuse it. If there's one thing I wouldn't miss in the future are those spins.
