It should be compared to any other game, not only cherry-picked ones where it can emerge the better option. I don't really care how many iterations there have been on the console (and I do think FM6 has got a pretty fantastic car list so far), but FM4's still beats it in a few ways, again IMO. I miss the wild cards, like the Eldorado, the Smart, the Gremlin and Pacer, or the everyday cars like the Fusion and all the various little hatches. FM6 still succeeds in having me want to own nearly every single car on its list (not something I can say about other driving games), but FM4 just ticked more boxes, more often.
Well, yeah, I'd hope they wouldn't have to start over on any modelling aspects by now. I do wonder if T10 will eventually adopt adaptive tessellation though, as it does seem to be the one major new tech that would solve any future issues.

This reveal is cool, only thing that would have made a better American muscle reveal would have been a Deusenberg or a Studebaker.

That's fair enough, I had forgot about that, and if FH2's DLC was anything to go by, FM6's will be great. The Fusion and the assortment of entry-level hatches are still valid, though.
It's also a wee bit disappointing they're dipping into the land of duplicates with the race cars. It's not nearly at the same level as GT manages, but it does mean there's less "new" cars than we originally thought. I imagine it makes the results page look a little less boring in races, though.
While it isn't American, this reminded me: I still think the big Bentley from FM4's Autovista mode will make a return. Surely they didn't spend the time modelling it for that one rarely-used feature of that one game. Right?

Something tells me that car was unusable somehow. Much like the Halo Warthog, not sure why that would be, but I can only guess.That's fair enough, I had forgot about that, and if FH2's DLC was anything to go by, FM6's will be great.

I have but I haven't read it all. Are you referring to anything in particular? PD never seems to address this sort of stuff in their patch notes, and I also remember that incorrect data carried over between different GT titles. That's why I would like to know how carefully Turn 10 handles such data.

Forza is actually pretty good overall, with a few glaring errors, such as a 1961 E-Type with a big "4.2" badge on the back, even though the displacement is correct in the menus.
Their main flaw is re-using a couple dozen older 3D models over and over, some dating all the way back to FM1 on the first Xbox. They have also been guilty in the past of cutting and pasting race car liveries onto the same basic model without respect to year-to-year or track-to-track changes. An example would be putting a 2001 livery on a 2006 Audi R8 LMP when the aero parts are quite different between the two.

Wait is this a mid-season change of livery? Don't exactly follow IndyCar...

To give credit, they have at least made an attempt to correct the car itself than the statistics. Before FM5, we had this along with the Enzo & F50 that had some rather off proportions, esp. in the wheels.
What we eventually did get was this.
Granted they likely still aren't perfect, but they made some sort of effort. I don't know about the F40, but I do know they completely remodeled the F50 going from a Euro-spec to a US-spec car.

USA car had the following exterior changes:
--rectangular side marker lights front and rear
--lack of round turn signal indicators on front fenders
--addition of center brake light on top of rear bodywork
--orange front turn signal lenses instead of clear
--larger front spoiler lips
--different rear light signature under braking (larger area)
