I have to agree. Since I don't have XBOX Live Gold nor the PC version of the game, I can't obtain certain vehicles and other rewards. I prefer the system prior to this update.I'm going to really miss the old Forzathon set. I mostly play the game whenever Forzathon updates with new challenges and seasons, but this is just....too overwhelming.
I'll do anything to get new cars into my garage, but to be forced to do online multiplayer as well? No thanks. Not trying to complain, just expressing my dislike for the new playlist. I really liked how it was before the change. :/

Probably another Ford is coming with the update, if you look at the car on the upper left side.
I hope (and I mean, HOPE) what's needed to get 100% is simply just participating and NOT winning all events.Do we need to win in the multiplayer parts? Or do we just have to participate?
They are asking too much, and the cars that were already in FH3 (Pontiac GTO and Porsche 914/6) can barely justify all this effort. Any car that closes the content gap between FH4 and its predecessors is welcome, but for so much effort it feels weird.
Well, most exclusive cars have already been offered twice and this will hopefully continue as times goes on. So if you miss out by not completing a season 100%, chances are the reward car will become a regular event reward later on. No guarantees though.

If it's only winning, than it's going to be very frustrating, boring and non thrilling to players like me.
914/6 was exclusive to VIPs!
I'm sure you also remember the 928 was not only exclusive to VIPs but also required taking part in a co-op event. The writing was on the wall even then but everyone was too busy applauding the studio for their work on the game.
"In order to achieve the 100% mark, players will need to do both single and multiplayer events. They’ll also need to complete the seven Daily Challenges that appear as well."
Before I wondered why they didn't try and create a proper progression or career in this game... Now I realise it's because every idea they seem to have regarding it is flaming stupid. The weekly Forzathon and very occasional notable new car was all that kept me coming back. But this is too much, I think I'm done. A poor ploy to try and make people buy XBL Gold to try and obtain content.
Video representation of a player losing their sanity after completing only 99% of Series 7 and missing the Capri FE:
After playing FH4 for the last few hours, powering through majority of the Summer Playlist stuff, I will say I'm absolutely not a fan of this new system at all. Being locked out of a new car because you dared to not play the game for a single day is really starting to make this game feel less like a console game and more like a mobile game...
I'm a car guy and I have an XB1, so this is pretty much all I play. My XBox sits on my desk at work. I can play during the day, even while I'm working. My boss plays, too, so he often comes in to see what I'm racing. But how many people are as lucky as me? I can play at least 12 hours a day. Getting 100% will be annoying, but doable. If my XBox was at home, I'd have maybe 2-3 hours a day to play, assuming I don't watch any TV, go to any movies, read any books, visit with any friends, go to any restaurants, etc. And if I had a wife and kids? Impossible.
But I'm gonna have to earn another one to become eligible to win the Capri.
