I wonder why the game didn't get the licence to use BMW cars or Porsches, the game feels half complete without these distinct car manufacturers.

Its too expensive for a game manufacturer to obtain all licenses. If they got BMWs or Porsches they wouldn't have got Ferraris and Lambos since its to expensive to get a game license for all of them. And lets face it, the last two cars are legends.

Yes but they could've gotten rid of some of the muscles like shelbys or pontiacs, I mean those cars are really crap in-game.

Does it have Pagani or Gumpert? Probs not as they are fairly new on the block...... Just curious.

Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.

It has Pagani but don't think any Gumperts are in the game, there's at least one Zonda though.

Righto.

I love the DB9, funny how a game made me love that car where beforehand I really quite abhorred it.

YOU ABHORRED THE DB9?

HOW?

WTF VUB? Wait which vub am I talking to? Surely both of you couldn't have hated the DB9.

Yeah, well it was only really just one of us, but the other wasn't a great fan either. I just didn't feel the car was very special, but that was before Flecco haha. Now I'm a completely different...twin.

Idk, I'm just a fan of the DB9 and a few of Aston-Martin's other cars.

DB9 > Vantage I reckon, to me Aston-Martins should be elegant and sizable.

They have to satisfy the American buyers too, obviously

On that same topic, they could have dropped several of the classic european cars just the same, but their not about speed or power, its about them being classics in their own right.

I was disappointed BMW didnt make it inot the game, mostly because I simply love the M3, but its not the huge of a problem, theres always mods to put them in if you really want them.

Rumors say it will include off-road racing, 1,500 miles of road, dynamic weather. March 2008 release date is bouncing around the forums.
