I don't understand why you say they wouldn't do the research?

Too obscure, I imagine. Forza tends to have mainstream cars and tracks. Or converts them to mainstream.

I figure he means that niche, relatively unknown cars tend to become much more popular after being featured in Forza? An example that comes to mind is the Isetta.
But if that is the meaning of the sentence, that's hardly something that can be blamed on T10 and PG, no? And it's definitely not indicative of a tendency to not feature more obscure vehicles.

I think that "mainstream" cars would be the "everyday" compacts, sedans, crossovers, SUVs, and pickups that are designed to sell. Those vehicles are not designed with performance in mind, unlike the vehicles in Forza that fall under those sectors.*
*To be fair, the 360-era Forza had some of those types of "everyday" cars.

A four-letter acronym for completely awesome
COPO Camaro (we might get a dragster for the Drag Update)

Rolls Royce Phantom (They are all english, and the Phantom is the only car from the movie "johnny english" we don´t have yet)
Clue 5

“That which we call a rose
By any other word would smell as sweet.”

I like the renamed Fisker Karma as clue 7.
Clue 4: They are all based on books I think. Probably the most famous car book ever is "Unsafe At Any Speed" which goes into detail about the Chevrolet Corvair. So I see the 59 Chevrolet Corvair Monza making a return.

Kind of a stretch, but a bigger problem is that the Corvair was only made from 1960-1969, and the Monza wasn't introduced until 1961.

As @Marqus said, the car would be far too obscure for Turn10 to have heard of it, let alone find one to scan and develop. I might be wrong, but I'm not holding my breath, as much as one of those would be cool.

I'm not so sure on that, there's hundreds of traditional car manufacturers, tuners and kit car manufacturers around the world. Unless they have someone on the payroll who only researches car brands it's very possible that there are cars they're unaware of.

The Exocet is just a Miata without it's Miata body, and you can customize it to your own will. I doubt you'd ever see it in game, not necessarily because T10 doesn't know it exists, but more likely because Mazda would intervene with licensing.

I agree, it shouldn't be a case of 'we've never heard of this car'. They probably do have a couple of people whose job it is to research cars, but I'd imagine it's more a case of looking at back catalogues of existing manufacturers who are in the game. However, it's very unlikely that a small company such as MEV is to be heard of unless someone in T10 sits down with kit car magazines from Britain. Given Turn10's efficiency in other areas, I doubt they'd be that organised.
I'd love to see some British more companies included such as Lister, Ronart, Ginetta, Prodrive or Morgan. Now I'm not going to pretend that ignorance in these cars is what prevents the marques being included, it's more likely to be licensing or a lack of awareness from the majority of customers. While the Lykan HyperSport is an unknown car for me, its inclusion in F&F7 meant it was going to be recognised by a lot more people than a Ginetta G40.

Is the July car pack actually being unveiled today?

I believe they are. At 3pm PST, there will be a couple streams on Mixer and Twitch where they are going to talk about the July DLC:

When those were being built, I honestly considered getting one. I was working in Seattle and living on Bainbridge Island which meant I was taking the ferry twice a day. My only transportation was a 1975 Honda Goldwing. It was great because motorcycles always loaded and unloaded first. But also, if you got to the ferry terminal while the boat was loading, once they were full up with cars, the last few motorcycles were loaded. If you rode a motorcycle, you effectively never missed a boat. The downside to riding a motorcycle in Seattle year-round was the weather. Rain? Snow? Hurricane? Too bad. Still gotta ride the bike to work. So I looked hard at the Sparrow as an alternative. It's classified as a motorcycle so it would load with the bikes. There was someone who commuted in a Sparrow, and it worked great for them. I would only drive it about 20 miles total each day, so range wasn't a problem. But ultimately, I just couldn't afford it.

When was this if you don't mind me asking? (I grew up on bainbridge island)

Small world! I was definitely living there at the time, though i was in high school. You weren't too far from me either. I was probably less than a mile north of you, on the other side of battle point park.
