Forza 3 and Jalopnik Unite!
Looks like the creators of Forza 3, Turn 10, and the automotive blog, Jalopnik, are teaming up to figure out which cars will be available in the next couple DLC (download content) packs. Together they will be letting automotive enthusiasts vote on what cars they want in these packs, so all this week Jalopnik will be putting up a group of cars which readers must pick 10 out of. Who knows, maybe we can get a GTI-R Pulsar, Mitsubishi Galant VR-4 or Subaru Alcyone (SVX to us Americans). With everyone picking what they want, it should be a couple of good downloads coming to Forza 3. So jump on over to Jalopnik and tell them what you want in your Forza. Happy Voting!
Voting for Group IV, V, and VI has started!

Nissan 370Z Debuts…on a video game?
So it seems that we'll get a glimpse of the new Z from Nissan on the popular (but I don't know why) series, "Need for Speed." That would seem like a decent news story since most sites are reporting the great marketing aspect between video games and cars (see: Mitsubishi EVO) but looking through the comments on these articles, I think everyone is talking about it's "love it or hate it" styling. Which is alarmingly becoming the thing for auto manufacturers. The interior looks like it was recycled from last year's interior parts bin and those bommerang headlights/tailights - where was the focus group on that. I do like the retro nod to the old Z just behind the skyline roof, but other than that, other than specs, this is a car I probably would not want to be seen in.
Oh and about Need for Speed...not my game. Call me when GT5 comes out.
