I can't think of any recent Hondas I'd really want besides the S660 that GT7 has. Maybe an Odyssey to tie in with Deadpool vs Wolverine lol. An old Element would be fun to toss around off-road too.
I'd still like the Honda e added. I think it could make a fun little electric car in game.I can't think of any recent Hondas I'd really want besides the S660 that GT7 has. Maybe an Odyssey to tie in with Deadpool vs Wolverine lol. An old Element would be fun to toss around off-road too.
Here's a link to a brief article I've just found on the story.....Heads-up: Hoonigan's future in Forza could be in limbo as they are going through a "chapter 11 bankruptcy".
Well... Hoonigan's basically Ken Block: The Brand so it only makes sense for it to eventually go up in smoke after his death, a bit like how Top Gear went after the OG trio left.Heads-up: Hoonigan's future in Forza could be in limbo as they are going through a "chapter 11 bankruptcy".
I wonder if the licensing rights to Block's Fiestas and Focuses will revert to Block's family if they can't salvage the company. Chapter 11 doesn't necessarily mean the company is gone, it just means they get to stay operating while they figure out a way to unscrew themselves. If they'd filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, that would be immediate liquidation with no opportunity to reorganize.Well...

I don't know if this is even a particularly controversial opinion here but: I could live without the Hoonigan cars in Forza to be honest. As cool as some of the cars are (the rally/Gymkhana cars in particular for me), I think equivalent customization options could just as easily "replace" some of those cars, especially in terms of widebodies (the Focus RS already has one) and maybe engine swaps (the og RS200 has none, the Hoonigan RS200 has two - guess which one is used more!).
Obviously interiors will remain factory-spec as long as there is no interior customization available, which is a drawback, though I guess in theory they could already add custom race-spec interiors as a conversion option (a'la NFS Shift) among the widebodies. Not saying they will - they'll most likely wait for a future Forza title to go "wow look new feature!" - but still.
Depends on when that'll be introduced, but that is interesting. Could see that being part of the holiday updates, they added the Autoshow Vouchers around then too.
Apparently this appears when you hit "how to get this car" on a Camaro FE
Backstage Pass coming soon to FH5?

@Digolgrin Crew Motorfest is getting a Mach-E GT. Maybe that's why FH5 hasn't gotten it yet. Could be that Ubisoft has exclusivity maybe. Interesting list though
If they do, and the GTO Judge is on there, I might actually be done with FH5; it's the only car I have left for the collection to be complete. Sure I'll need to grab some more cars I sold on the auction house from there to fill up my garage again, but it's maddening to constantly see I only have one car left and it's off in auction house hell because it's not a hypercar or something really interesting worth selling for 20,000,000 credits, y'know?If the backstage is added it might actually get me to play the game again, part of the reason for my lack of motivation to play the game is the fact that I'm behind on so so many seasonal exclusive cars. I'm also just not an auction house sniper anymore so I can't be bothered with getting them there.
I think that would be fair.I hope when the game reaches EOL, they put the OPI Edition GT in the Backstage Pass, just so I have the comfort of knowing I have literally everything.

I missed the Durango and keep missing out in the auction house. It’s just so terrible and clunky plus people are using bots.
Yeah is there any tactic at all when it comes to the Auction House? Was overseas for a few months and missed a whole heap of cars. Really trying to get my hands on a GR Yaris.
Honestly I got the 700r on the first try searching and got lucky.Yeah is there any tactic at all when it comes to the Auction House? Was overseas for a few months and missed a whole heap of cars. Really trying to get my hands on a GR Yaris.
Cheers bud 👍Okay, so preliminary predictions for Back to the '90s. I'm going to go out on a limb and make two predictions--one focused on higher performance cars and one focused on overall vibe. This way I have bases covered for when I make my mid-Series predictions and the final refinement when the teaser hits. (I'm also assuming New-to-Forza cars here, no returning cars, and using manufacturers we know they've added in the past, though it's not unlikely we'll have some surprises along the way.)
Prediction #1: The Extreme '90s (or, High Performance '90s)
Series Reward: 1990 Aston Martin Lagonda (While not the prettiest '90s car, the Lagonda would make for a great premium reward for those daring to push that far in the Playlist. If this is indeed one of the final updates before Horizon Backstage is added and the lights go out, this wouldn't be a bad Series Reward to go out on--and one worthy of headline car status, perhaps.)
Summer: 1999 Lamborghini Diablo VT (Whether roadster or coupe, doesn't matter here. A post-facelift Diablo would certainly fit the bill for a good chunk of PG's additions.)
Alternate Summer: 1999 Aston Martin DB7 V12 Vantage (While... not worthy of James Bond's time, and certainly not headline material, this WAS, at the very least, an Aston GT from the time period. It'd make for a nice change of pace compared to most normal Aston GTs. I also wouldn't be surprised if this was the standard DB7, the I6 model, for added weirdness.)
Autumn: 1995 Ferrari 348 (Perhaps one of Ferrari's lesser known offerings, often overshadowed by the F355, this would stand in at least decent competition with the '92 NSX and 2005 NSX-R as high B-class Retro Sports Cars. Plus, hey, it's a convertible, if one that uses a more traditional clothtop than the mechanical hardtop.)
Alternate Autumn: 1998 Ferrari 456M (The last Ferrari to use pop-up headlights, and Ferrari's last old-school GT before the 612 Scaglietti. What better way to pay homage to a then-dying breed than to add at least one car that used them?)
Winter: 1995 Dodge Viper (No first-gen Viper, to the best of my knowledge, has ever appeared in a video game. Why not start here? Get some American representation in the list.)
Alternate Winter: 1997 TVR Chimaera (Another British GT, but one that also gives more love to TVR. You could also use the Griffith here and be perfectly fine.)
Spring: 1993 Audi V8 (German DTM legend, replaced by the A8. What's not to like--other than it being another saloon.)
Prediction #2: Horizon Retrowave Part 2 (Or, The '90s Vibe)
Series Reward: 1990 Aston Martin Lagonda (Frankly this would probably be the Series reward either way. I can't imagine a rare enough '90s car that'd fit here.)
Summer: 1990s Subaru Impreza WRX GC8 (Because you can't really have the early Lanevo without its main rival, 22B or not. It doesn't matter what version number they use here, as long as it's here.)
Alternate Summer: 1997 Ford Thunderbird (It pains me to mention this, as I find the tenth gen Thunderbird to look... less good than the 2000s iteration that followed it, but honestly this wouldn't be a bad addition for Ford. It wouldn't be another Mustang, and it'd fit the overall vibe well enough. A good alternate here would be the previously leaked Lincoln Mark VIII, which shared a platform with it and came mated to a Northstar engine (blech).)
Autumn: Alfa Romeo GTV (Because @Edax 76 is right, this car also encapsulates the '90s. It would depend on Playground being able to even add another Alfa Romeo, but if they had to add another one this would be it. This would be my pick for headline car, if the Lagonda isn't added or used as headline car.)
Winter: Renault Espace F1 (Supervan competitor. Not much else needed to be said.)
Spring: 2000 Ford Mondeo (I'd reserve this slot for any car from the year 2000, actually. End the season off with a car from the turn of the millennium.)
As for the Car Pack, if we get one (which at this point I doubt)... A Back to the 90s car pack starring FM2023 portbacks like the V8 Vantage could be in the cards, but since Twisters is distributed by Universal Pictures and since the original movie came out in 1996... I dunno, part of me is paranoid we'd be getting another collab car pack based on '90s movie cars. We'd have to see I guess.
Some good picks, would absolutely love to see the Audi V8 in a game, and the Aston DB7 is long overdue in map opinion.Okay, so preliminary predictions for Back to the '90s.
