Until that war broke out, I had wanted Russia for the FH6 location. I wanted it because its different style of architecture from Asia and the West had a unique charm, and because it was an underrated region in the racing game, with maps that were both urban and tough off-road, and, like Australia, had its own car manufacturers and car culture.
But this dream was lost forever due to the outburst of one leader. Probably no open-world racing game set in Russia will be released by a Western game developer in my lifetime.
Right now, my preferred locations for FH6 are in Southeast Asian countries like Thailand and Singapore.
These countries have glittering and unusual architecture based on Buddhist culture and have great landscapes.
And they also offer tougher off-roading than Japan or Hong Kong, which is also suitable for Horizon.
And, as those who browse websites like Speedhunters know, these countries are also home to many enthusiastic car enthusiasts, whose enthusiasm and collections are second to none in Europe, the United States, and Japan.
They also have their own unique culture of customizing Isuzu and Mitsubishi pickup trucks in crazy ways, which makes them a perfect fit for Horizon.

Yeah having travelled to Thailand in the last year, it’d be perfect. Incredible landscape, incredible roads and a super healthy and unique car culture.

There is almost none "Asian charm" in Russia, aside from few regions near Mongolia(we are mostly European country with few islamic and buddhistic regions). Our car culture isn't all that unique and exciting - Niva, UAZ, Kamaz, riced Ladas, drifting, off-roading. I am not sure about Horizon style game, but something more citycentic could be really good. As for current situation, Ukraine could be really great alternative to RF. Similar culture and architecture, less landmass and better reputation.

Thailand would be great. I have nothing against Singapore having been born there. But for elevation changes I feel it leaves a lot to be desired as a sole location. Malaysia might possibly be a better bet perhaps but a multi country game like FH2 sounds like the better option to me.

If not South Africa then give us Fiji. No car culture, but it would be bloody lovely to look at and the Islands (give us one to start with, then release the other islands as DLC with the content included on the island) give us all the diverse topography we want.

For FH6 I would love to break the pattern of one country/one map (Ok, FH2 is technically two countries/one map). Instead, I would go for a series of smaller maps for specific regions anywhere in the world that would be added to the game from time to time.

This is probably a very unpopular opinion here, but to me personally the loss of the Italian brands hasn’t been that big of a deal.
I guess it’s just cause I never used them anyway, apart from some of the Alfas I’d say, but I haven’t noticed their absence at all.
The loss of Volkswagen in FH3 and Toyota/Lexus in FH4 was a much bigger and noticeable deal to me back then.
I just hope that the situation with other Stellantis brands is still good so we get cars like the MC20, new GT, Redeye, TRX and others soon.
That being said, I still want the Italian brands to come back for everyone who loves them, and I’d never say no to more cars.
Though at this point sadly I don’t think we’ll see them in FH5 and hoping that they come back in the new FM is our best bet.

I painted mine green. That single white color they offer is pretty dull.

I'm kind of biased (note the avatar, lol), but Alfa, Lancia, and Fiat are more historically significant in motorsports than the likes of Toyota to an arguable extent and VW by a huge margin. Between their Grand Prix/F1 open-wheelers, classic touring cars like the '60s/'70s Giulia/GTA family and the absolutely berserk 155 V6 Ti, and the Tipo 33 series that ran the gamut of prototype races, they featured prominently in nearly every discipline of auto racing and for good stretches of the 20th century just flat-out dominated. And in rally, one of the only fields Alfa didn't dominate, Lancia basically set the pace with the Fulvia, Stratos, and Delta in ways that only Citroen and Subaru could really approach later on. As for Fiat: if you don't get excited at the prospect of throwing an Abarth 1000 TC around a tight technical course, I don't know what to tell you. Not having these makes in a racing game is like not having the Dodgers in an MLB game, Queen in Guitar Hero, or Donkey Kong in Smash Brothers.

Yeah, it probably will be an unpopular opinion, but there's nothing wrong with that. I agree with @Stupornaut though. It's disappointing to lose Fiat, Alfa Romeo and Lancia. These are such historically significant brands, both in terms of the cars they built and their racing heritage. I agree with you, though, that at this late stage, we probably won't see them in Mexico. Let's hope that by the time FM8 and FH6 are released, whichever lawyer at Stellantis cockblocked these brands (and you know it was a lawyer, it's always lawyers killing all the fun) has been reassigned to some place where they will do less damage.

Bit strange there's no other stock color options for this thing, anyways I've painted mine in yellow. For fun, I tried my best to get the weight of it to over 10,000 lbs (even equipping the heaviest wheels!) but sadly it's just shy at 9,900 I think?

Yeah, devoting the entire second expansion to rally/off-road and not being able to have any Lancias was just...ugh...

Did see one in matte black but most of the ones I’ve seen in Detroit were the white launch colors.

I painted my Hummer EV black with a red undertone.
Edit: Here's the pic, it's hard to see how well it works in a still pic. Something else, this vehicle with fully raised off road suspension, tyres and tyre pressure dropped to 19 psi will destroy nearly any rock crawling map in game.

Nothing fantastic, just no ghost and an ominously weird result screen.

Simple, whatever social media content management system they use (presumably Sprinklr) has its scheduling calendar drop-down menu with Sunday as the first day of the week, and the social media manager considers Monday to be the first day and clicked the wrong date by mistake.
I did it before, it happens.
