Good day fellow Forza fans,
As we get closer to launch and as Playground Games reveals more of the cars in the game, I wanted to create a thread that "predicts" what cars we will see as well as certain aspects about the car list. Think of it as a wishlist thread, but with a twist. I want to spark discussion based around what you will think the car list will be like.
You can really put any format to this you want, but I'm basically asking these questions: What cars do you think we will see? What cars from previous titles do you think will be missing from Horizon 5? How many cars do you think there will be? Anything that predicts anything about the car list is fair game here. I don't 100% expect these things to happen, but I think these would be fun predictions to discuss while we wait for more information.
Here are my predictions:
1. Several cars from the leaked FH4 list that weren't in FH4 will be in FH5. Several of the cars from this list have made it into the game now, and a few more have already been seen in footage for Horizon 5. I think we will see several cars from this list in Horizon 5; this is a pretty safe bet based on what we've seen.
2. Pickup trucks will have more of a presence. I believe that we will see more pickup trucks in this game as well, based on the Mexico location as well as the more and more frequent requests I've seen for them. Models like the Ram SRT-10, C1500 454 SS, Toyota Tundra/Tacoma TRD Pro, Toyota Tacoma XRunner, and Mazda REPU are just a few of the many examples Horizon is lacking that would be perfect for the series.
3. Toyota and Lexus will return in full force. We all are obviously aware of Toyota's return, but seeing the rest of Toyota's catalogue from previous Forza games return to Forza Horizon 5 would keep the manufacturer's list up to date. I think we will eventually see returning cars such as the FJ40, FJ Cruiser, and Celica Supra in this installment. I also think new additions such as the A90 Supra, GR Yaris, Sera, and even Mega Cruiser would be perfect fits for the series. Several of Toyota's cars are quite iconic, so I'm sure we will see several more Toyotas in this game, as well as Lexus.
4. Some of the British cars added in FH4 will be cut, at least at launch. I expect to see a few remain like the Rover SD1, Triumph TR6, and Austin-Healey 3000, but I'm not so sure some of the others will make it into the game at launch (similar to several of the Australian cars from FH3 to FH4).
5. The Hot Wheels and Barrett-Jackson models will be removed (at launch). I don't expect these cars to make it in at launch. I think the Monaco King Cobra as well as maybe a stock Hemi Cuda Convertible are possible, but other cars like the Atomic Punk Bubble Top I don't see being added in at launch.
6. The James Bond Pack cars will return in stock form, as well as the Hoonigan cars. Pretty self-explanatory here. I don't see Hoonigan going anywhere any time soon, and the James Bond Pack had such good cars that it would be a shame to see them be excluded.
7. Some of the oddly-excluded cars from previous games will return. There were several cars that were in FM7 in particular that seemed to be odd exclusions from FH4. New cars like the Nissan Safari, Subaru 360, Honda Odyssey, Lincoln Continental Black Label, and Volvo XC90 seemed like odd exclusions considering they arguably make more sense in an open world environment. There are also several cars that have been Motorsport exclusives or otherwise that were missing from H4 that I'd like to see return like the AMC Pacer, Alpine GTA LeMans, Plymouth Prowler, Chevy Vega GT, Dodge Dart GT, '86 Civic Si, Hyundai Genesis, half of Volvo's lineup, '02 Camaro, Mercedes ML 63 AMG, Pontiac Aztek, Caparo T1, Infiniti IPL G, etc.
8. Speaking of which, car manufacturers that desperately need to be updated in Forza will eventually be updated. As has been pointed out, several of the manufacturers included in Forza are lacking several cars that I (and many others) feel they should have, and I believe they will eventually have some updates. Some of H4's manufacturers got this treatment in H4 such as Renault, Mercedes (to an extent), Mini, and Aston Martin, but others still desperately need it. Examples of these include Audi, Volvo, Mercedes, Mazda, Toyota, Lotus, and Honda. You could argue that just about any car manufacturer is missing some key cars, but some definitely get more love than others.
9. The game will begin to include more electric cars. Another safe bet here I think. In terms of what cars, I think we will see some more electric supercars (like the NIO EP9, Lotus Evija, and already-confirmed Porsche Taycan), more electric SUVs (like the Mercedes-Benz EQC 400), and even electric offroaders like the Extreme E Offroad Odyssey.
10. A couple manufacturers will still be excluded due to licensing issues. Just like Toyota and Mitsubishi at the beginning of FH4's life, and Rolls-Royce and Tesla still missing, I expect PG will run into some issues still with a couple of manufacturers. I hope, however, that they are able to gather as many cars as possible for this game's launch.
Enjoy!
