That's what I thought. The '05 WRX in both games should be an '06.
That's seems likely, from what I can tell the '05 that was posted is the Euro spec.

Yes, as a 1992 model.

That's only how US model years work. Outside the US (edit: and Canada; a penalty for doing most of your business with them), there isn't really such a thing: cars are, mostly, the years of... the year.
Here's a 1991 Honda Civic in the UK. Honda UK refers to the EG as the fifth generation, running from 1991-1995:

I’m surprised they aren’t bringing back more FM7 cars. Several hundred cars are missing in this reboot, and in the past 10 months they’ve only brought back a tiny handfuld. That’s the biggest wow for me.
So they’re adding the Lancer Evolution III. Now where’s my Starion? With Forza you never know. So frustrating.

So, instead of a 2-part update that would probably have messed up the upcoming schedule (track update is next!), the top troubleshooting team (a.k.a. the janitorial team that checks the workstations overnight when no one is looking) came through for everyone!

Looks good, and glad there’s a centre top option as my rig covers the bottom centre of the screen.

That looks great, I was worried that they might half bake it, but it looks like they've taken inspiration from the other main sim's and implemented it properly.
Happy to see the Evo 3, I can never get enough of 80's and 90's consumer cars.
Gran Turismo should be pretty spot on with JDM cars, which are usually the chosen model's in that game, sometimes not for the better, GT4 and GT6 had my 2003 Subaru Legacy GT Spec.B even in a wagon form, which although nice, its engine sound is terrible compared to the USDM model which came out a year or 2 later for US 2005 MY. At least in Forza we get the EJ25, no reliability issues to contend with in a game either, maybe Assetto Corsa Evo will let us blow head gaskets on these cars. 😂

My exact biggest frustration. I can kinda live with tracks coming only every other month at this point since they are way more detailed now and are fun to drive on. But the serious lack of new to FM cars and them just SLOWWWWWWLY bringing back cars from other forzas is messing it up for me. Followed by the lack of robust permanent events.

^ Not only are they bringing cars back very slowly, but it also feels like they aren't doing a great job bringing back a good variety or to fill niches or manufacturers with small lists, instead it feels like we get mostly super cars. Like this time with the Reventon, it's like the 5th Lambo we have got as a Featured/FOMO car I think, and it's just another fat understeer Lambo that doesn't offer anything that any of the Aventadurcielagos (2 of which were already recycled as Featured/FOMO cars) we already have don't already offer, other than a wacky dash I guess. There are so many cars from FM7/FH that would be more useful for more classes and fill missing spots in the car list much better to choose from.
Otherwise, cool update. All the features/fixes are pretty positive, the only asterisk being that the replay system improvements, while certainly good and it's great to see them actually making progress on the replay front, are of questionable usefulness since replays are so short and they fail to save so often. The older Evo is a nice surprise, and the CLK GTR is actually worth putting effort in to get. Radar will be great for cockpit/wheel users assuming it works right, which will be big for organized racing.

My bad, I can't remember too clearly, I know in any case that the spotlight cars stay after their discount, but are these spotlight cars additions at the same time to this Forza Motorsport?

Has anyone been able to download the update yet? I just checked and there's no updates available and I can't see the new events yet 🤔
Just one "new to Forza Motorsport car" felt a bit underwhelming, but with the proximity radar and the other fixes it still feels like an okay update to me. I'm looking forward to the new track in update 11 though.

Some of the "Spotlight" cars have been new in the past, some are just cars already in the game with a discount.My bad, I can't remember too clearly, I know in any case that the spotlight cars stay after their discount, but are these spotlight cars additions at the same time to this Forza Motorsport?

This time the Evo (new) and Subaru (returning) are "new" to the game.
Probably the same kind of reason we couldn't hand select cars for the AI in Free Play but we could in private lobbies back in FM4, couldn't manually organize the grid in Free Play when that feature existed in multiplayer in FM7.
We will probably never know the reason why, because T10 very, very, very rarely addresses/acknowledges things like that.
It's out for Steam users apparently, but I've got nothing on Xbox either.
Sounds like it's about 10gb update.

It’ll probably come. Right now they’re fudging it in multiplayer with bespoke white listing of cars.
To make it work in other areas of the game they essentially need to build 3+ car classes (like when they added LMP3), make assets for them, rebalance AI etc.
Wouldn’t be surprised if it all comes in a future update.

Just did a couple races in it for my lunch break, it's very tossable, just had to sort out the body roll a little and is a great little car to drive.
The radar is the single most important change they've made to the game since release IMO, I'm glad that it turned out the way it did, would be nice to be able to customize the colours, but otherwise its a great addition, looking forward to seeing what improvements it makes to the cleanliness of MP races, just a shame they didn't enable it by default for those that don't jump into the settings.
