As IGN are previewing a car a day this week, and we have seen a bit of the Steel Wheels car in the trailer we can finally get some opinion on the game content.
So what do you think of the new cars? and what do you think of the cars names?
I was a little sceptical of the names at first, they seem a little cheesy. But I know I will get used to it and I guess it is better than having a car called Factory R160 ST.
All of the cars look great! I will add links everyday as IGN continue their series.

Best Car
All of this is very nice... I just hope that there isn't a single best car in the game. Both B3 and Revenge had one car that destroyed the rest of the competition. Kinda boring. B3 was a bit better off because there were at least multiple paint jobs - in Revenge everyone used the same color of the same car. Some of the slower cars in B3 like the Assassin and the Hotrod were fun to use also. But still, there weren't enough cars that were actually useful. Hopefully there's a lot more choice in Paradise.

not overly impressed
not so impressed with the car names.. still think the names on takedown were the best so far.. they all seemed to have names that stood out and you could tell which type it was by the way it drove and how strong it was for battling on road rage..
mind you I dont think it matters what they are called as long as I can find one that works for me.. but i agree with Vapours comments around not having one that can rip the rest to shreds.. the euro and revenge racer were the ultimate cars for the associated games and with all the cars being unlocked on revenge it made it less fun as everyone picked the same car from the start.. there was no effort in obtaining the top car.. on takedown i never actually unlocked it offline.. damn bus/tram/train takedowns.. but did become very good at boosting one to play online.. and to be honest it kick the living s*** out of all the other cars.. i always used the assasin like so many others and could keep in range of the euro but having that extra speed made the task of taking one down very hard..
looking forward to working my way through unlocking the cars til i find one thats fast enough and handles good enough to make my erratic driving and lack of skills look like i know what im doing.. if they have something in the same vein as the super assassin then i'll be happy...
theres a thin line between genius and insanity... i think i've fallen off...

If I had that car
On the other hand, on Revenge you don't have to worry about people whining "the only reason you beat me is because you had that car..." Well, I guess they do mention some things about driving the revenge racer but at least its available to everyone. And if everyones driving it, the car isn't a factor in who wins the race. Kinda boring but it levels things out.

Mix em up
I love goofing around in a pink low rider on Revenge just for the embarrassment factor you put on someone when you take em down with it. It doesn't happen very often cuz the thing drives like my grandpas boat but its great when it does. Id like to see some more of that in Paradise. If the cars were even more diverse and had even more seperate advantages over eachother, handling acceleration etc. And some more personality, lets turn up the humiliation factor a bit.

Crashing
The choice of cars in revenge is pretty good for crash junctions, the closest thing to the revenge racer (in races) is the c180 lite, but there are only a handful of junctions where you can't get a higher score using pretty much any other car - even race cars like the black elite.
I'm still waiting for a showcase where the car hits something and just keeps on truckin.

I think i read it maybe out then, but as i said before when its ready, its ready to buy, and i'll get it then, though on the pod cast 7 , Alex said he had to use a full build as the demo did not work, so they can't be that far off a completed game to burn out to the public, its just that Halo 3 is using the burners at the moment, lol. Unless you want a Blu-Ray one, then it will be out so last week?
