July Car Pack

[SuperShouden]

That pack might be the last one released 'cause hey have to actually find the cars and model them and their interiors... sorry. They do have to model them and then slap some interior that looks mildly right in there. But, I guess they could just find photos online and do it that way. And, by the way, that list of cars is subject to change in case they can't find a car on that list, they'll probably use one of the runners up.

Consensus:
2011 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe

Maybe something will be in this pack that I want to buy. I still have not bought any car packs for Forza 3. But I did buy the track pack.

Lame. If they wanted to put a Cadillac in, why not the Cien or Sixteen concepts? No one wants a Cadillac with a Corvette's engine.

Not another one anyway.

The CTS-V Coupe is still better than if T10 decided the Ford Taurus needed a STS to run against.

 

[SuperShouden]

But...don't they already have 2 CTS-V's? They're really adding ANOTHER one? (Yes they do have two CTS-V's already. The 2004 and 2009 CTS-V's are in. The 2011 will be the third one. All they need is a new CTS-V race car.)

Seems that way. I don't know why they just don't add cars that aren't already in the game. Such as the LP560 or 550, or the AF 155 Touring Car. Their taste in what cars should be chosen for each pack seems redundant at times.

 

[SuperShouden]

I hope, at least, the 2011 CTS-V is the free car. It does seem like a waste of a DLC. If I were adding a bunch of updated cars, I wouldn't make people buy them. Because that's kinda cheap. Maybe even add them via update a la GT5 Prologue.

The previous CTS-V's are the 4-doors. This is the coupe, which on paper, should be more rounded performer in the game.

So, they should just model all these new cars for free, then, is that what you're saying?

 

[Terronium-12]

Wow. Even though I still don't like the idea of yet another CTS, I totally overlooked the fact it's the coupe...which is forgivable. Bring it on I'd say.

Looking on FC, it's not confirmed & that it may be the CTS Coupe as well. A bit more disappointing, though it could easily be tuned to be a CTS-V Coupe.

But it's still another CTS-V. And I'm saying that IF you're going to simply add a new version of a car that's already in the game, it feels a little cheap to make people pay for it.

It's apparently a 2010 FIAT Punto Abarth

There is no previous version of the CTS Coupe in the game. They have to make this one from scratch just like nearly all the other models. They won't do that for free & MS won't let them offer it for free.

 

[VXR]

I was third to guess Punto Evo Multiair on Facebook so fingers crossed I get a free code.

I noticed in time that an Abarth's reflectors have been moved to the middle of the bumper.

That's a pretty thin excuse for giving us an updated version of a car we already have. Unless the coupe can out perform the Sedan version, then there's no point. That's saying "We've got a new Playstation 3 that's white" and charging $40 more for it. (and yes I know they actually did that.)

 

[Shant J.]

I do love the Colt. Here's hoping for the Suzuki Swift Sport! (I doubt it =( )

Missing the point completely. We do not have a CTS in the game except for the V, & we do not have a 2-door one, either.
This car, if it is the CTS Coupe (not the V) will slide underneath the newer CTS-V we have.

 

[SuperShouden]

But this is the CTS-V Coupe, most likely. At least that's what the guesses have been. And so what if we don't have a 2-door version. It's not like you're actually going to be able to open those doors, now is it?

You don't seem to realize that the 2-door version is going to perform much better, unless Cadillac or T10 have completely botched the car.

 

[SuperShouden]

how is the two door version going to perform better? because it has a couple kilos less weight? But whatever. If you want to buy a carpack for ANOTHER version of a car you already have, go right ahead. It seems to work for Nintendo, I guess it can work with FM3

We have two Gallardos already...That's the same redundancy you're complaining about here. Except this one is at least a totally different body style.

 

[Terronium-12]

And the LP560 or 550 isn't?

Not only has the coupe slightly less weight, but it also has a wider rear track, looks like a completely different car from any angle other than front on, and generally coupes can play around with where the weight is more than a sedan, so weight distribution could well be improved but I'm not sure on that.

 

[LaBounti]

Wow, so much CTS hate. I've owned a 2005 V and I am looking forward to the Coupe version. Many auto journalists consider the CTS the best American car ever made and they have good reason to say that. The coupe is an amazing looking car and I can't wait to download this for that car. The 09 CTS is poorly modeled and I'm hoping the Coupe will have a better effort on the modeling.👍

The Coupe is a car I dream to be in a game, i'm glad to see it. Being an open minded person I am also opened minded to cars.

Get over it guys. A 2 door version thats lighter smaller faster better is so worng? Where is the hate for the VIP cars? They arent free and there at least 2 versions of each already in the game.

 

[SuperShouden]

it's not hate. the CTS-V is the...uh....5th best car Cadillac has ever made. (behind the Sixteen, Cien, '57 Eldorado and '57 Wagon) It's just that it just adds to the other two CTS-Vs that are already in the game. I mean, why not release the Sixteen or the Cien or the XLR-V or the '57 Eldorado or Wagon....I mean...seriously.

 

[Eric.]

And the LP560 or 550 isn't?

No they're actually quite exactly the same car with different bumpers, wings, and mechanical bits.

 

[danielwhite74]

Nice work with the hidden message in that screenshot there.

 

[Terronium-12]

Wait, are you comparing the 560 and 550 side-by-side? That's not what I meant...I know there's not much of a difference between the two of them. I meant compared to the original Gallardo.

EDIT: Has something happened to this place? Why is my text much smaller then it should be?

 

[SuperShouden]

it's either a 2010 Acura TSX or a 2009/2019 Honda Intergra Mugen...so the same car.

Thats your opinion VS the professional automotive journalists, two of those you mentioned aren't even produced, by best "they" mean consumer value, practicality, performance and satisfaction. But Turn 10 seems to be sticking with NEW cars for its recent packs. We would be lucky to get older concepts, But FM3 is light in concepts. Really a GT90 would make my day.

Looks like somehting Honda built, could it be a hybrid? I am still hoping the 2011 Sonota Turbo shows up, I'll be very happy.
