This is the discussion thread for a recent post on GTPlanet:

Well, there's a bunch of new convertibles, and new trim levels of cars we've seen before, but not all that many totally new models.How many of these are even new? 10 or less?
The real question is, will the E46 GTR have the proper racecar interior and V8 + straight-cut gear sounds? In all other recent NFS games it's really just been a body kit on a normal straight-6 M3.

1963 Volkswagen Beetle
2017 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2
Or ANY Lexus whatsoever?
I thought this game was worth preordering when I saw the exhaust sound tuning option...
But after seeing they put the 🤬 blasphemy on wheels in the game, namely the 2017 Ford GT, and did not include the 2005 Ford GT, I've suddenly changed my mind.
By my count, we have 10 compeltey new models, in the 2020 Z4, BMW I8, 488, FXX-K, Testarossa (squee), Countach, Evo X, Polestar 1, 600 LT, and 718 Cayman (yes, I consider those last 2 fundamentally different cars). If we include variants (besides convertibles), updated models, trim levels, etc., we have about 29 cars by my count, including the brand new vehicles.
I do feel like some more run-of-the-mill tuners could've been added, such as the FC RX7, S14, late 90's Eclipse, etc. would be welcome, but overall I'm pretty happy with this list. I just hope the Ferraris have more robust customization available to them, though the 488 GTB in the gameplay trailer doesn't give me much hope.
Also, @Coolsy101 , the standard R34 is in, but it's listed as the '99 V-Spec, not the 2002.
It was the extended-cab in NFS Payback, so it'll almost certainly be the same.Extended-cab, sold; crew-cab, nope.
The Toyota Exclusive deal with PD is cancer, Exclusive deals should be left in the past.
What games?It’s not just PD. Other games feature Toyotas. It’s Toyota only choosing to deal with Japanese developers or something

The exclusivity derives from toyota getting their undies in a twist about boy racing and toyotas want of a more precious, high handed image. GT is seen as the more sedate and sensible driving game while nfs is taken to be rebelious and wreckless, not what toyota wants to promote. It's a very strange turn tbh as for long enough they were happy to be seen as part of the youth, underground scene with the supra being a rival to the skyline. Toyota now want to get down with the woke soy boys (and girls) with their prius'. They are effectively grand fathering the Supra into a more to-do cruiser than the sports gt it once was imo.
Engine swaps are a thing so you might get your v8, and maybe tune the exhaust to sound like the ‘05I thought this game was worth preordering when I saw the exhaust sound tuning option...

A legend is left in the dust while its less-endowed offspring rises in popularity. This truly saddens me.
Gimme my 🤬 V8 back, and why is there no LFA?!? Or ANY Lexus whatsoever?
The Civic was literally one of the starter cars in Underground. And then there was a S2000. One of the major characters in Underground drove a Civic and one of plot turning points involved her CivicWasn't Honda in a similar mindset once? AFAIK that's why they were absent from NFS for a while, like the UG games, MW2005, and Carbon. Wasn't NFS Prostreet where Honda made its first appearance in the series in over a decade?
