The thing i find really strange it's Peugeot, Jeep, Maserati and Opel/Vauxhall are in the game, and they also from Stellantis Group. :-/
It would be a huge pity to lost cars such as Lancia Stratos/037/Delta and all the Alfas

I don't want to lose my 4C, my Stelvio Quadrifoglio and my Giulia Quadrifoglio.
EDIT: Oh, and how could I forget the 8C Competizione, which I also want to own.

If I wanted a "serious" simulation of driving in Mexico... Well I only need to hop into my car and drive! 😁 Now then, I'm a grown, middle-age adult and I'm perfectly fine with the surreal premise of the game (and of all the other videogames I play.)

I'm not sure what you mean by childish. When I heard some of the dialogue, I immediately thought of Need For Speed and said to myself "Oh no. Why?" because I hate that the story is so unbearably cheesy. It tries to appeal to people that...aren't going to play the game and it makes everyone else, such as myself, want to rip the disc out of the system (even if it's digital) and shove it down someone's throat.
I do not care about story in a racing game unless it's actually crafted to have a story; a real story. Just let me race.

If there's any Nickelodeon-oid "Kidz Rule" vibe to the series, which in this case seems to mean "it's colorful and lighthearted," it's at least cancelled out by the nods to old-school gearhead history -- and the fact that I grew up imagining outlandish impossible OutRun fantasy sequels that barely even touched on what Horizon actually easily accomplishes nowadays. I might have to switch off the radio at some point because there's not enough early '90s hip-hop but that's probably the only oldhead concession I'll need to make.

The FH series seem content with providing just enough of a premise to make the whole "situation" plausible (the situation being flying[?] to a foreign country to race around a constricted area of that country for an indeterminate time for no other specific reason) without having to really develop characters or plots beyond the cardboard cutout stage. I'd characterize it as a bare minimum response to the question "why am I here?"I'm not sure what you mean by childish.

In terms of narrative strategies, I'd rate this one as just below the amnesia trope - which...actually might provide an interesting alternative approach for a future FH title...instead of offering a reason for you to be there, the game invites you to figure it out, through barn finds, signs, street races, etc. I'm kidding, maybe.

Forza meets Deathloop? Weirder ideas have sold millions, so why not.

I'm perfectly fine with narratives. Horizon would definitely be a better game if that were better, among the other issues. Actually, I just thought of the perfect explanation: it's the Forza universe equivalent of the Olympics.

I thought indeed about Need for Speed story, but the older ones. From the 2000‘s. They werent so extreme and gave a story. Not the actual ones, which were not so mine, too.I'm not sure what you mean by childish. When I heard some of the dialogue, I immediately thought of Need For Speed and said to myself "Oh no.

Interesting idea,based on the 7s thingy,can't see myself being so successful at it though..I'm perfectly fine with narratives.

Joewon just posted another video feature his Top 10 Favorite Hypercars, as well as showcasing there engine sounds! And let me tell you, they all sound SEXY!
Oh, and also this.
Car sounds are much much better, especially the
CLK-GTR that they made into a FE though i'm not sure if i'm a fan of the giant Pikes peak sized wing it has, I just hoped they atleast replicated the very distinct intake sound it has.

I believe the wing is meant to replicate the actual real track-going CLK GTR's wing. When I first saw it in someone else's video, I screamed "NFS III Hot Pursuit!!" out loud! It's amazing seeing a replica version of it in FH5.

wing is still too big though. dont get me wrong it's still better than the forza aero wing. and am loving the way it looks on the clk. but, if u look at the clk gtr the wing is actually a bit smaller and lower to the car

It's probably because PG had wanted to avoid from making it resemble the actual real wing to not get into trouble(?) Not quite too sure, but dare I say I'm really digging for how it looks on the car (despite its size hahaha.

Now, there is a rumor going around that all Rocket Bunny/Greddy body kits have been removed.
And while that seems to be true, I have found other evidence in this video.
Their logo is not even in the list of manufacturer decals.
It appears that a "licensing issue" has occurred with their body kits.
Note: Liberty Walk, RWB, and Rocket Bunny manufacturer decals were available for cars where their body kits were not available.

Liberty Walk kits are definitely in game, tho, and a RWB decal is available in the manufactuer section - it seems it's just Rocket Bunny/Pandem widebodies that are gone.
Personally I don't think I'll loose any sleep over it.

Every single Youtube video I've watched (aside from one German dude so far) from someone that has access to the game right now is either maxing out cars for top speed or doing drift builds... I'd really like PG to distribute these early access "demos" better, to people that actually are creative and could properly showcase just what you can really do in game with the customization options instead of swapping V12s and going sideways.
