That is no Stingray. They just brought back the name to increase interest just like the new Dodge Dart.

The new Stingray is ugly.

No.

It looks nothing like a stingray though... and the whole thing just looks too European.

It's not supposed to look "like a Stingray". Stringray is a name given to a Corvette that is considered a radical change in the aesthetic design of the car, isn't it?

I thought it would draw inspiration from the old stingray that looks freaking awesome.

I actually played GT5 the other week and man, it sure is a bummer. The photography stuff is really awesome though.

Huh, this is kind of like if Turn 10 announced some hot new Forza 3 DLC. Weird.

Except that GT5 is Polyphony's latest game and you cannot have a FREE dlc for F3 (Yanno, XBL policies).

Uh, I get free DLC all the time in Forza... It's not impossible. Also, we're on Forza 4 now.

Funny, they actually just released a free DLC pack yesterday, for Forza Horizon, and if i remember correctly, all the monthly car packs they relesed for Forza 4 since it came out, had one free car.

Hey, I remember this game. It stunk.

Forcing myself to watch a shitty AI do races on my behalf sure sounds like fun. Stupid fucking moronic retards that designed the B-Spec mode. GT4 had it almost perfect and they completely fuck it up.

Kaz can lick my sack. Worst 60 bucks I've ever spent.

It's actually the production version of the car, not a prototype.

So Chevrolet thought using GT5 would be a better choice than the predominantly Western hemisphere focused, American centric, US owned console based video game? Am I missing something here?

Ok ok, you guys beat me, seems like my knowledge on X360 is a little outdated, thought you had to pay at least 80 (?) points for a dlc

@Alex_Carrillo: And then you realize that their (Polyphony) games are better than their competitors as well? Yeah I agree.

*Insert generic snarky comment about GT5 here*
 
This is pretty great news. I've actually been playing a lot of GT5 the last couple of weeks. Now to supe this puppy up.

Man this game was such a piece of shit. I've never been more disappointed with a racing game than with this one. I'm super glad Forza exists cause there's not much else going for car sims.

Plenty of them on the PC.

I wouldn't exactly say plenty. There are definitely more of them. None of them come even close to having Forza's polish though, which I hold in higher regards than accurate simulation personally.

Cool. I started playing GT5 today, after a long break from it.
