This whole leaked list is getting so confused. The GTP News list has 111 cars while you can find 137 cars on some others sites. The list posted by @willbsn13 has the Jensen Interceptor or the Bugatti Type 57S. While the list posted by @Apple Slipper is missing some that can be found in all the leaked ones like the Subaru Levorg GT, #1 Ford Escort Mk I or the #25 Ford Ultra4 Bronco. Who got it right?

Anyway there is more than a year worth of content from the leaked list and at least another year from the "missing" FH3/FM7 cars. ​
 
If this means the ISF and RCF are returning then I'm stoked! Loved the RCF in FH3 especially with the wide body kit. Sounded good too. The Forsberg Formula D 370Z would be a welcome addition too. The only one I'm not really enthused about is the GT86 as we already have the BRZ in the game.

I've really enjoyed this week's Forzathon challenge which was much more fun then the last couple of weeks. Wasn't overly hard or tedious just plain simple good fun.
 
I wonder if more Toyota updates are planned, but I somehow doubt it. They might still include the Celica (7th gen), FJ40, SC300, IS 350 F and GS350 F. I believe this would wrap up every Toyota and Lexus seen in this generation of Forza games. Not really counting on Scion, but who knows.

Toyota and Lexus from FM4 would be especially awesome in FH4, but again very doubtful.

True, but I would still say it fills a void. All the Toyota sports cars currently in the game are really old in comparison, as if the marque had gone defunct or something. Feels empty without it. Toyota GR Supra would be nice too, but there’s always the BMW Z4 M40i.
 
The online parts of the Forzathon Playlist this past week were weird for me. In the co-op race, our team lost the first race. Then we lost the second race. Except the game said we won. We clearly lost by something like 850 points. We went on to win the third race and got the overall win. Then in the games, our team lost the first three events and it was over. But the game gave us the car and listed the event as completed. I'm not going to complain about the game being generous and saving me a lot of time and effort, but it's still odd.

You don't need to win the games anymore to complete them. Not sure if it was introduced in series 25 or 26. Still a lot of players like to quit when loosing.

That would explain the games, at least.

There is only one GS I want.

I've seen this, in the Trial particularly. There was one where I was having an absolute nightmare, and came last in the first two races. The two guys I regularly play with were behaving like the children they are, and they too underperformed, coming in 7th & 8th, or thereabouts. The game then DNF'd 9th, 10th & 11th-placed AIs, giving us the win. In the first race, it happened, and I was confused as to whether I'd just seen what I'd seen. Then it happened again, so whatever algorithm was at work, it did the same again.
 
These are the ones that would add value to the game for me, personally.

Trial is definitely working now. We lost somehow the first attempt 1:2, but than dominate the second 3:0. I suspect the Aviodrome CC Circuit was causing "problems" in winter last time. The AI sometimes just doesn't know where to go when it hit the containers. The Cotswolds sprint would also make the AI miss the bridge right before the finish. Never lost that one. Ok, rarely.
 
Has anyone had this issue where the game keeps crashing before the start menu on Xbox One X. I was getting this last night so I had to reinstall the whole game but luckily it hasn't crashed since!!!

I know some players had the same issue because there's quite an active thread on the official forum. Personally I don't remember if the game ever crashed on my Xbones even once in 2 years.

Having owned the game for 2 years this game has been very reliable I just don't understand why it's doing this now after putting in hundreds of hours of progress I just hope doesn't happen again.

I can totally understand the worries. Crashing is something that scares me the most because I'm thinking of hardware problems too... for some reason. The second would be getting the save file corrupted because of losing the connection during sinc. I read too many bad stories lately. Sometimes I just leave the room during loading. I knnow nothing will happen and I'm just being paranoid... just can't help it.:lol:
Anyway it's just a game and next gen is coming soon.
 
Audi USA has been posting so much Forza stuff on their social media, I really want to believe this could mean something, like a free car pack of new Audis or at least one car...

I know it’s unrealistic as hell but I want that so bad, we haven’t had any new Audis for four and a half years now, I just want something to confirm that between Audi and Forza, all is well... :(

There was that Audi RS3 LMS added to FM7 in 2019. I think relations are fine. Maybe Forza hasn’t prioritized Audi much in recent years because their exterior designs have barely evolved in the last decade? Just a random guess, but the latest RS5 really should have been added to be honest.

We also got the TT RS VLN in FM7 but still, no new road cars since the 2nd generation R8 back in April of 2016 in the Top Gear car pack for FM6...

Whatever the reasons are, I’ll keep hoping for at least one new addition during the lifetime of FH4, and if nothing comes, then I’ll hope FM8 delivers...
 
All in all I would say they are in very good terms with the Volkswagen Group, but then again, no Seats have been featured in a Forza game since FM4, and no Skoda ever I think. Apparently they negotiatiate with one brand at a time (Porsche, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, etc.)
 
Playing FH3 for first time in probably a couple of years made me realise how much more of an exciting landscape FH3 had. While FH4 probably has better driving roads (they did the imperfect narrow backroads well), the landscape isn’t incredible. Some areas of the map are fantastic, I love the Glenfinnian region, and their recreation of Edinburgh gave us a really good, tight inner city feeling, a lot of the map isn’t particularly inspiring.

I do much prefer the snow in FH3 being its own seperate area as well. It gives Blizzard Mountain a much more exciting winter holiday feeling, a place that you go to for snow and the alps and resorts. In the FH4, the snow blankets the whole map and instead of feeling like a fun winter holiday, it’s makes it feel like a somewhat dull (although the game can look stunning at times during winter) and cold winter, one where you are just counting down the days until the warm weather again.
 
Unless they add an A1, S3 saloon and A5 Sportback, I don't want to see any of their pig-ugly current sports models or SUVs. Their current design language is a horror show.
