In this thread we're going to keep it subtle. It's not about the game's features or whatever has features and especially no flame wars or arguing in the thread,but what side has the best cars to drive in your opinion for both of these games has to offer. Basically I mean the detailed cars in GT6 and not the standards obviously :P

But yes it's just what car selection you think has the best offering. (and i don't mean how many cars. I mean which has the most appealing) Leave your thoughts below and tell me what you think!

Forza 6 hands down has the best car list of any game I've played IMO, thus it get's my vote because:

  • All cars are modeled up to the same quality
  • Contains a lot of unique and favorable cars
  • Every car has a modeled interior
  • All cars are customizable
  • All cars can be viewed in Forzavista
 
I think this needs to be shared: Google Sheet: GTPlanet Comparison: Gran Turismo and Forza Garages.

Forza 6 clinches it for me. Are there cars I miss that are present in GT6? Absolutely. But not as many as I feel I'm missing out on from Forza when I load up GT6. There are a handful of Standards that aren't available in Forza either, but they're so feature-limited that I rarely ever used them in GT6 either. Funnily enough, I still miss a fair amount of cars from FM4. :P

Forza tends to be criticized for focusing too much on new metal, and not on historic cars. Building up that spreadsheet, I found that GT6, when you don't take the legacy assets into account, is actually the worse offender: 77% of the Premiums in GT6 have been from 2000 or up. FM6 also has a better spread across the countries, with the US getting slightly more representation, but that's nothing compared to the 43% Japanese cars that occupy the Premium lineup in GT6, over double the next-best represented country (the USA, at a bit over 20%).
 
I should check the full list os cars in Forza 6 before I vote, but I didn't need to, since from the cars I know that are already in the game, most of them are in my wishlist for GT7... and since this thread is only about the "premium" cars, they have in Forza some of the cars I wanted fully premium on GT, like de Focus RS 2002 and a ton of others.

In general, they have the most desired cars overall, a more up-to-date list while we (GT6) stopped by 2013... So things such as the LaFerrari and all those modern cars.

Love this post! Also love the 10th year Forza Motorsport anniversary avatar. :gtpflag:
 
Don't care about premium or not, I just care about the cars itself and how they drive, both FM6 and GT6 are appealing to me, both have interesting cars that I wanted to drive ( for FM6 there are only about 10 or 20 cars that I really like ). Sadly I don't have Xbone and won't plan to buy one as I have my eye on PS4 ( I don't exclusively play racing games ) I have so many PS4 exclusive games that I wanted to play. Forza may be a game that I would play on a friend's house.

For now, GT6 cars are good enough for me. I usually drive in cockpit or bumper cam view, and black interior do not matter to me, so standard or premium is irrelevant.

I'm more interested in older cars from 90's and older ( Japanese and European ), recent supercar like P1, La Ferrari do not hold any appeal to me, F40 is 1000 times more appealing :P
 
Forza easily.

A list that includes cars like these would make even the most staunch GT fans weep. Plus they're all premium and can be personalised in Forza's livery editor.

A list like that would surely have staunch GT detractors complaining about duplicates :lol:

Seriously though, I miss the WSR BTCC 125i.. I must remember to buy an XBetaMax as soon as I've fixed my PS3 to play GT6, bought a PS4 for NFS, and a new camera 'cus I want to. I'll try not to weep too hard though.
 
Forza, hands down. Let me put it this way: the names MX-5, RX-7, RX-8, Skyline, S2000, NSX, Impreza and Lancer make for a total of 25 models in Forza 6. In GT6 it's whopping 243 models, which is just over half of Forza 6's complete car roster (478). Hell, Forza Horizon 2 doesn't even have 243 cars on its list, and look how varied it is.

Yes, I understand different generations, years and possible racing versions. But I honestly think GT6 has far too many unnecessary cars. It particularly shows in Mazda's dealership when you set your view to 'PP - low to high'. On pages 2-5, which can show you 80 cars at total, only 9 rides aren't Miatas :indiff:

With all respect, GT6's car list just doesn't cut it for me when I compare it to F6's.

With Turn 10 they aren't Biased against the whole Japanese dominant car culture. Whether American, European or Japanese, T10 are impartial to how fair they are with their broad list of models across the decades past. Not focusing on purely American brands. This is something PD need to do to change their status quo.

Lets see when it comes to Ford, there are cars like the Escort RS Cosworth and Sierra Sapphire Cosworth, Ford transit van, Ford Fiesta XR2, R200 Evolution. This is how selectable and varied T10 are. They pick iconic cars, popular cars from every generation that PD have forgotten or overseen or outright neglected. And they just keep adding on that eclectic selection.

When it comes to Ferrari, their is so many their is nearly every Ferrari, well not every Ferrari. But you get the idea. Eclectic again because T10 are so broad ranging in their picks. Same with Audi, Lamborghini, Mercedes, their is really a lovely selection, same with Ford.

Take BMW. You have the M1, the 850, BMW 2002, E90, 635Csi. All older classics among many other older classics not in GT. Plus you have the similar selection on top of that of cars which are in and aren't in GT.

Plus T10 are expanding on their McClaren list. Lotus was never strong with T10, but I hope that improves some day. Hope their are more Opel or Vauxhall in Forza too some day. But most of the car brands in Forza, you find cars that you, you family or friends owned as a youngster or coming of age, pre teens, teens. Cars to idol over.

T10 at least pick the popular and iconic cars. This is what I love about T10.

To be fair, PD's original Japanese bias was likely just economics. Japanese cars were close by and readily available. In the GT5/6 era the new car additions were much more balanced overall, compared to GT1-4.

Yes certainly Johnny very true. Lets just hope PD evens out the scales a bit more with the next installment.

As a huge GT fan as I am, FM6 just has all the cars I want, I won't leave GT yet, but I'm hoping GT makes a significant change for GT7

Yes. Ever since FM4, FH, FM5, FH2 almost every car they chose to add, has been pretty much fantastic to my eyes.
 
No JGTC Super GT is a bummer. That kind of straight out comparison will tend to skew things towards the new contender.

GT6 is pulled down by its legacy. The game is really GT5 Plus. Also again, they offer different things. Just because I'm playing Forza 6 doesnt mean I wont download the two new VGTs.

I've also had the feeling Forza has always tried to hit the cars that they think offer the most bang. They do not care for for the more esoteric cars. Some you like the more weird cars.

GT has the R8 Gordini, that's why I'm hesitant to play it to play it, It won't have Frein
 
I've never played the Forza Motorsport series but from how wide the range of cars are from around the Globe & since Holden & Ford Australia have more cars that are represented better since Aussie cars are not even recognised in alot of games I voted for Forza Motorsport 6s car list.

Well, they do look interesting, but I much prefer road cars from 50's to 90's instead, driving is not all about racing cars. I'm glad GT has almost every generation of Lancers and Skylines :) I practically grew up with them around in real life ( 80's and 90's ) :P My first drive that got me hooked was street legal Lancer Evo GSR with stripped down interior and bolt on roll cage back in early 90's, the BOV and wastegate noise was addicting. It was a pain to drive ( I had just started learning to drive ), heavy clutch that felt like a button switch, notchy gear shifter, temperamental accelerator pedal ( high idle and high boost with a dose of lag below 3000rpm ), very bitey brakes ....just pure animal in traffic, but I love it.

Shame the Galant is slowly dying in GT6 :( My 1st 200+kmh drive was on white E39A Galant VR4 sedan, also drove the liftback Eterna version ( should be in GT too :grumpy: )

GT6 car list is great, you've got plenty of categories of vehicles, from LMP machines to Kei cars, from everyday machines to out of the world concepts, but Forza 6's list is focused more on racing and new machines, and that's what attracts more people (including me).

I personally prefer GT6's list, but Forza 6's car list makes me envy some of those cars, like, all of these

Heh, the cries of "duplicates" were pretty loud when T10 announced the Formula E grid. Which is fair, and probably wasn't the best way to lead off the garage reveals. But beyond those, and the IndyCars, the duplicates tend to not mean more than 2 or 3 of any one model. It certainly isn't 30 nearly-identical versions of one generation of one car, nor is there any of the "Base Model" shenanigans. Though that sort of thing isn't really needed with a livery editor, I suppose.

Unfortunately, I haven't broke down the lists into race cars versus road cars, but FM6 has double the 50's cars that GT6 has, and more 70's vehicles too (both times, taking into account Standards). Naturally the Standards pump up the 90's number by a substantial amount (90% of the GT6 cars from that decade), but otherwise, the remaining decades are surprisingly close.

but Forza 6's list is focused more on racing and new machines, and that's what attracts more people (including me).

Percentage of cars in FM6 built from 2000 onward: 54.8%
Percentage of cars in GT6 built from 2000 onward (Premium only): 76.7%
Percentage of cars in GT6 built from 2000 onward (Overall): 57.4%

The racing cars bit though, I'm not sure (as I said to @Ridox2JZGTE). Considering the heavy emphasis T10 had on race machinery for this game after the lack in FM5, though, there's probably some truth there. I suppose that could be another data field on the sheet. I've been meaning to get rough performance indexes in there too, but it's an utter nightmare for cross-game comparisons, as GT doesn't take tire data into consideration.
 
Forza6 has great car list and lots of newer cars. I hope GT7 will have most of them as well. But GT6 cars list is pretty unique and I voted for it. Because there are many cars in the game I never knew even existed. I love toyota race car even though it is standard but has a cockpit. VGT like Mercedes-Benz, VW and Alpine with cockpit are great to drive. RB junior and kart, aryton senna cars to name a few. Both have great list and something for everyone.
