How did the Lamborghini Countach NOT make it to Autovista?

[t.o.]

I just had to get this out there. The Countach is an iconic car. More trees got killed making Countach posters than we'd like to admit. How did this car not make it is beyond me.

Agreed. One of my all-time favorite cars. Iconic indeed!

Why did the 2009 California get put in instead of the F40?

It is really surprising to see this car (Countach) so small on track - like a toy car - among other modern supercars, as the few ones I saw in real-life on roads in the 80's looked very wide. It lost its superb...

Another strange decision by T10.

They probably just wanted a folding metal roof in Autovista.

There are a lot of cars that should be in Autovista, but aren't. They'll either be fixed in the coming months or we'll have to wait until it's expanded on in FM5.

As well as the Hummer H1. How is that more important to car history than, say the Countach, 300SL, or Muira?

Hummers were immensely associative with one's image, pretty much to the same degree as a Cadillac Escalade.

The one difference between then is that while the Hummer itself doesn't have any *gearhead* history, it has plenty of wartime history seeing as it's a road-going Humvee. I actually like it being there and I hate Hummers. They're just obnoxious.

...But the sound that Duramax makes is unbelievable.

The Hummer is a very unique vehicle. The Ferrari California on the other hand is nothing all that special really.

This argument can go for several cars in the game (why no GT-R, NSX, F40, etc.). In the end, it may come down to the same reasons several of the cars are not in the game to begin with.

But, as evident by the "AutoVista" tab in the marketplace/DLC section of the game, there will be more to come.

I was more of the Testarossa poster type during that time period.

That is such a sexy car, OMG

 

[espeed623]

One car I think that should definitely be in Autovista mode is the Dodge Viper. It's pretty iconic as a car of the 90's. :/

 

[local chap]

I remember when I got to ride in one when I was little at a car show, made my life.

 

[imported_Oni]

This car should be in Autovista, Its soooo sexy!

I can still hear Sr. Mixalot singing "My Testa-RossAAA!!"

Both of these cars should be in Auto Vista. Period.

There's probably a car that severly needs to be in Autovista for everybody

I mean, this is no different than the usual "T10, Y U NO have [insert car here] in your game?! It's super awesome!" threads. And in this case, it's amplified by the fact that we only have 26 cars in Autovista. With just 26 cars, I assume it's a given that a lot of people can name "must haves" that aren't in Autovista. I actually think i could come up with more than 26 cars that would deserve to be in, but aren't, all by myself...

At the end of the day, I, personallly, consider Autovista to be a nice gimmick, but not much more than that. I guess that's why it's not bothering me much, but, really, we can't have it all. And even if T10 didn't have the California in there and went with something else, it would still not be near enough to give most people the car they're asking fore.

I mean, sure, I'd be all for getting rid of the DeLorean and the Californa in order to get the 300SL and the Countach in Autovista, but there's still dozens of cars that are just as significant (or even more significant) that could be named here.

Maybe someone who actually owns the car didn't let them borrow it to digitize it for Forza. The key part of getting these cars into Forza is having the access to the car IRL.

I just spent quite a few minutes of my life looking around the cabin of the 908. It feels like your as low as a go-kart.

Wins over everyone.
