That's not what he meant.

That got me pretty pumped. I think I'm gonna go play Forza 3.

Awwwwwwwwwwww snap!

Needs more power

While it's nowhere near as long as GT5's way cool video opening, Clarkson seals how awesome this one is. And brings up a great point, will there be fun cars to drive 20 years from now or will the only ones left be all about about efficiency? And yet one more iteration of the last Pagani Zonda.

I think I may actually get into the Forza games now. I rented 3 and enjoyed it. Might buy this one.

Meh, I am so tired of people saying that cars won't be fast or interesting to drive in the future. As long as people want them, someone will figure it out. Tesla and Fisker have already, wait till we figure out fuel cells better or improve the battery tech as well as using composite materials. Heck, the Porsche hybrid RSR beat all the GT cars at the ALMS race at Laguna last weekend while running uncategorized.

Do people honestly believe that Ferrari are going to build Prius type cars in the future? No, they will be exciting and wild, just like a Ferrari today is.

I don't know if I should watch this would rather see it when I put the game in.

it seems alright. i'm getting this game.

After that last line "...and it's all here, for you to explore", I was expecting a big LittleBigPlanet 3 logo to pop up.

I don't think anyone thinks Ferrari is going to stop making amazing sports cars/super cars, but how many people can afford a Ferrari? Or a Tesla, Fisker or Porsche? More and more mainstream car manufacturers are doing away with their "fun" cars. Honda and Toyota don't make anything to drive around a track anymore, will others follow suit? Sure hope not, but it is definitely a possibility. Toyota has been rumored to be bringing their Subaru collaboration out for some time, but who knows what/when it'll be when it sees the light of day. Honda canned the S2000 (to me an embodiment of a modern sports car, it's fun to drive at 15 mph) and was rumored to be bringing the S3000, but with a lot more weight and more power, effectively killing what the car was. They finally put the NSX out of its misery but scrapped its replacement altogether (not that the NSX was originally an affordable car, or the replacement was going to be anywhere south of $120k), another bummer.

The flipside to all of that is what's happened to engine output in the last ~10 years. Relatively speaking, everything is quick off the line these days, but even with ~280 horsepower you wouldn't want to track a Chrysler Town & Country, but 5 years ago a Crossfire would've been fun to toss around.

Dear god it's like the Little Big Planet intro but with cars, now everyone in gaming can know whats it's like to have your earholes caressed by a smooth English accent.
