The 620R was also mentioned by ALumia_Italia. With the Fiat Barn Find, are we getting back the Stellantis license soon? Meaning that Alfa Romeo/Fiat/Lancia could come back very soon (Something similar with the Mitsubishi car pack?).

Badge files for the 765LT, 620R exist as well.

I'm not a modern supercar enthusiast, so many of the cars identified here are of no interest to me.
However, I know very well that there were many players who were want for these cars. These cars would be a good addition to please those people.
On the other hand, a few quirky cars did excite me: the Mach-E 1400, preferably a stock Mach-E, but that's not too bad.
370Z Rally, a variant of an existing model. But these strange rally cars would be fun.
Baja Boot, I hadn't heard of this car, but it looks like a lot of fun. I'd love to drive it in the desert.

Probably not.
When Toyota came back into the game they released all of their cars except the Supra as exclusive content.
Perhaps they will do the same with Fiat, Lancia and Alfa Romeo.
It's sad for the enthusiasts of those brands, but for Microsoft, who is all about "user engagement" first, this choice is more attractive than just a free car pack.

I'm not so sure. It's clear PG was expecting Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Fiat and Lancia to be in the game right up until the last minute. Look at all the accolades that mentioned those brands. Something happened, but we don't know what. Now a Fiat is going to come to the game. It's entirely possible a free Italian car pack could be thrown together quite easily if whatever held up the Italian no-shows has been resolved. It would be a big positive gesture for the community that has suffered through a lot of problems with this release.
 
Typically the free car packs have been featuring just a handful of cars, 7 for both Porsche in FH3 and Mitsubishi in FH4.

I could see them perhaps come up with a "greatest hits" pack (124 Spyder, 695 Abarth, Giulia GTA, Stelvio, Guilia Sprint, 4C, 8C, Delta, Stratos for instance) and everything else that's missing or new would be playlist rewards scattered here and there for a couple months.
There's no way PG would bring out a free car pack with 20+ cars, assuming they'd bring back everything that was in FH4 (17 cars before DLC and Playlist rewards) and a few other choice offerings from previous games.

Or the FIAT is (hopefully not) just a placeholder for the next Motorsports game, where they'll all be reintroduced properly.
 
Does anyone think one of the DLC Maps will be UFO related? There's plenty of UFO references across the map and the 2nd DLC is usually a daft one.
Just a thought.
 
I must have missed them!
There's signposts in lay-by carparks on the map and up on the volcano mentioning UFO's. On the main map in the west the two crop farms are laid out like crop circle as is the centre of the roundabout at the southern end of the motorway. And for some reason we all got a space suit outfit in week one. I may well be totally wrong, it's just a thought I had.

The sign mention a crop circle and if you look at the map you can see the phrase "de otro mundo" near those fields, which means from another world. Maybe it's just an easter egg. Crop circles are related to UFO all over the world. Maybe it is (was) just more popular in Mexico? I don't believe they would hint the expansion in that way. But we don't know nothing about the UFO or any expansion anyway. Who can tell?

Thanks for the translation Strela 👍. I should've been less lazy and looked that up myself. Like I said I'm probably wrong it was just a thought I had. Firing an idea out lol.
Well it wouldn't be the first time they give us clues true the game world. The Eliminator and the Express Delivery Business (I believe) were hinted that way. But later on, not from the start. Like I said, it could turn out to be true too.
 
I totally agree that PG will bring back some of the Stellantis brands, Lancia/Alfa Romeo/Fiat to name a few. Would love to see Giulia/Stelvio/Stratos/Delta S4 Stradale/124 Spider making a return.
 
Not sure if I missed this sometime, or if its new since the latest update, but you can take photos of all the traffic cars and other previously un-promo-able vehicles for Horizon Promo now.

The only thing is the traffic cars dont show the little camera icon above them whilst driving around, and the new Horizon Parade Float does, yet doesnt appear in Horizon Promo!

I think it'll be Minecraft related based on this:
 
I like the changes with the festival playlist events. Speed Zones, Trailblazers, Drift Zones, Danger Signs and Speed Traps are back instead of having 3 championships every week it will be different with The one seasonal championship alternating with PG games so there's No playground Games this week! Result!!!! 😄

I used to enjoy chilling and doing the 3 seasonal championships but I think this offers more variety.

Not a big deal but The new colourful flags and decorations around the world look great too.
