That's nice for you, but it's definitely misbranded if that's the case. It's like saying an X-Raid isn't a Mini.'Cause it isn't. Lol.
I refuse to acknowledge it's existence as a Mustang.

I could definitely go for the Probe (not a probe, that’s completely different), the Dodge Daytona, and the ’99-‘02 Mercury Cougar.Mach-E fans are happy. At least they get to drive a drift car based on this car.
My favorite "Mustang" has been ignored by almost every racing game in history...
*Yes, of course this post is a joke based on the history of Mustang and Probe. However, it's true I'm calling for the Probe, more 80-00s FWD American sports cars should be added to the racing game!

I’m just so burned out on the constant slog that is FH5. The playlist is always basically a bunch of chores in cars I don’t want to drive on miserable tracks. I literally just spent $100 or so making my H-shifter work right with FH1 again so I could go back to it.Letting FH rest for a while would be nice.
I think there are several of us who are tired of always doing the same thing, just playing the game weekly to reach 20 forzathon points and get the new car.
I don't find an incentive to continue playing.
Maybe the return of PGR, Rallisport Challenge or Midtown Madness it would be a good idea while working on a new Horizon that brings new things.
Something similar to what they have done with Motorsport.
FM7 was released in 2017. They have had a lot of time to work on the reboot.
The Mach-E isn't even built on a Mustang platform, it's built on the C2 platform which is used for the Focus and Escape, and was simply the name chosen by Ford to sell it, similar to Mitsubishi and the EclipseCross.That's nice for you, but it's definitely misbranded if that's the case. It's like saying an X-Raid isn't a Mini.
A name like Mach-E conjures images of an electric Mustang and not an SUV, especially since the Mach 1 was a performance oriented package.Well that how it is. The Mach-E is a Mustang. Were you expecting a Mustang sedan?

These are two really weird sentences to go in the same post, never mind the same paragraph.The Mini X-Raid for all intents and purposes is a Mini modified for offroad Dakar racing.
Ford's website lists by body style, not by model.Even Ford has it listed as an SUV on their website and not listed with the Mustangs
Yeah, I used that for one of the Midnight Battles and got noped out of an Accolade.The '84 SVO had that problem too for a while, iirc.
Its main campaign is certainly more intense and involving, but I had much less of an incentive to play Forza Horizon 1 a year after release than Horizon 5. 1000 Club... no thanks. That's what I'd call a "constant slog".I’m just so burned out on the constant slog that is FH5. The playlist is always basically a bunch of chores in cars I don’t want to drive on miserable tracks.

Modern FH games are basically mobile gatcha / free-to-play games at this point.
Never seen a Stinger in real life.......oh and love ya more 😘.Saw a beautiful red Stinger GT outside my dads work today, and got reminded how much I despise the “Let’s cut cars from the previous game just to re-add them to the next game” shtick that PG has got going, god damn how I wish that they’ll drop this trash tactic for FH6 cause it’s so annoying and so anti-player.
And I pray to Dua Lipa that the new FM won’t cut cars to “update them for the next gen” just to re-add them in exactly the same condition as before and the only reason for doing that being to pad out a “Racing Playlist” thing of sorts instead of providing new cars, but I guess we’ll find out about it this year.
Anyway, sorry for the rant and stream and/or buy Midnights, love y’all.
This I agree. Licensing issues (except Alfa Romeo and other Italian brands) cannot account for these omissions. I think they were deliberate.Saw a beautiful red Stinger GT outside my dads work today, and got reminded how much I despise the “Let’s cut cars from the previous game just to re-add them to the next game” shtick that PG has got going, god damn how I wish that they’ll drop this trash tactic for FH6 cause it’s so annoying and so anti-player.
Yes they can. Cars are licensed on an individual basis and not the entire brand. It is entirely possible that they didn't get the license for the Stinger GT. It's possible it was cut just for the purpose of using it to the pad the playlist, but I doubt it.This I agree.

Well... we were talking about the Mk2, and it did launch in 1994 in Europe (which is noted in the article in the pricing section) but Ford of Europe started promoting it right from its first European motor show appearance in late-1992 (I think at the NEC; I don't recall any earlier appearance outside the US circuit).You know what's funny? There was a Wednesday Want article on this site about the Probe in 2017. There were just a few corrections though. The Probe was launched in 1989, and prior to 1994 no RHD models were sold.
I miss reading these old news articles; they provided a wide variety of stuff to look at. Whatever happened to those colums, man?
I feel like it could be both; licensing occurs on a game-per-game basis I think (wouldn't surprise me if it's easier/cheaper to do it that way), and PG probably feel some kind of pressure to please Microsoft by 1. releasing a new game and create engagement, 2. continue to generate interest by drip feeding cars over time, and 3. have some of said cars be past cars cuz licensing is a [REDACTED].I wonder whether cars are licensed for multiple games or just single instalments. I'd imagine devs do their darnedest to hold onto them for as long as they can and figure the major US brands like Chevrolet, Ford and GM are happier with enabling this for an American games publisher than Stellantis or smaller premium marques are but I've no way to tell.
But of course car game devs hate us and want to deliberately make their and our lives as miserable as possible because there's no way they'd want more people to not enjoy their products. Yeah, that must be it!
Which constant slog exactly?I’m just so burned out on the constant slog that is FH5. The playlist is always basically a bunch of chores in cars I don’t want to drive on miserable tracks. I literally just spent $100 or so making my H-shifter work right with FH1 again so I could go back to it.

20 points take about 25 mins on a slow day per week. A trial for 10 points (about 10 mins), 3 stunts for 6 pts (5 mins), 2 points from both rivals (5 mins) and 10 mins for the remaining 2 pts (can be done easily with a photo challenge in a few minutes, or a full championship)Which constant slog exactly?
Getting the new car once a week takes less than an hour (20 points). That's all you really need to do to ensure you don't miss anything. Is that really a slog?
Personally I'm enjoying other games at the moment and just running the 20 points playlist and the odd extra race for fun. No slog here.
Yeah, it's on an adapted version of the mid-sized SUV C2 platform - shared with multiple product lines - called GE1. The Mustang coupe is on its own dedicated platform, which it shares with nothing else (for once... although the third gen was also standalone).Fwiw, in real life the Mach-E is on a different platform than the Mustang, and when registering VINs with NHTSA they are separate model lines.
