I know no-one is interested the state of the world is, but I already love this Nissan S-Cargo, just driving it around stock.

But now Playground Games, we really do need that Renault Kangoo GT7 got, to go along with this.

I think this is my favourite odd DLC car in FH5 since the Wuling Hongguang Mini EV Macaron.

Now Gran Turismo is getting a Renault Kangoo, of course I'd like to see it in Forza Horizon as well.

The Vans & Utilities class has effectively been fully neglected by PG throughout FH5. I can't even think of one that's been added.

Someone near me has got a Ford Transit Custom, with I'm sure added body kit (skirts), and it looks mean as fuck. I'd love to see it in the game too.

Regarding the still ongoing after four days Festival Playlist glitch, where many events are not awarding points, as I wrote this in the comments to Ericship 111's video below, the only similar time I can remember was back in series 0.

Along with all the other connection issues then, the Playlist would often go to the backup, and when it reconnected to the server for the real one, occasionally - and I'm unsure if it was contingent on using quick start - it would forget if you already collected either of the points reward cars, so you could get two, and if you had played enough for this glitch, maybe even more of each one.

Incredible how all of the content creators said there'd be no more cars added to Forza Horizon 5, yet I said they would add more.

I'm also pretty sure I voted for some of these Nissans when they were shown in a Big Car video.

And with the Hennessey Mammoth 6x6, Playground Games are determined not to give us a RAM TRX.

It's a shame with everything happening, that we have to wait all the way until April for these.

It must also make a 2025 Forza Horizon 6 release even less likely - and with all the oddball Japanese cars being added recently, Japan being the location for it, increased.

Playground GamesDive into the Horizon Realms on April 25!?Experience a selection of returning Evolving Worlds in Horizon Realms; PS5 Pro graphics modes and pre-order details revealed!

Well this is pretty sad. The final new update for Forza Horizon 5 comes this week (only two cars).

Also makes me look very foolish, as I was confident we would finally get the Hot Wheels Monster Truck available, after its first-ever PvP appearance last week. 😢

And no 'My FH4 Favourites', 'Quirky Cars', or 'My 6 to Add in 2025' cars will get added too. 😭

I'm glad I didn't waste a few hours on making that last one into a slideshow video.

Playground GamesIt’s Lights Out and Engines on with Midnight Muscle.Hit the lights and start your engines with Midnight Muscle featuring returning neon light decorations for races, the Neon Airstrip, extended night cycles, and two new reward cars.

After over three years of it being kept to a single showcase event, are Playground Games finally about to allow us to own the Hot Wheels Monster Truck?

It appears in the Festival Playlist this week for seemingly only the second time, and first in Playground Games itself.

The next series is 'Midnight Muscle' after all...

Fingers crossed...

This would upset a lot of the #ForzaHorizon community if it actually happened, but having watched some videos of these cars, I'd love to see all of the new Renault 4, 5 and Twingo E-Tech added to #ForzaHorizon5 in 2025.

It's been a neglected marque in game - I think only one #Renault has been added since the game's release, and that was in a main DLC.

As a Twingo stan that was where I started - and this one looks as fun as the original - but all of these three look great.

As a Forza Horizon player, the one part of The Crew Motorfest I don't fuck with, is that Summit rewards are given only based on head-to-head performance.

This is a very nice car. But I haven't the skill, affixes or cars, or remember or see the cuts, or have interest in doing the tricks, to ever get in to the top 10k scores.

I'll have to just make do saving up and buying the (already available) regular car.

As the February series 43 for FH5 is titled 'Midnight Muscle', I wouldn't be shocked if this car is among those added.

Whether they add the gasoline version in some way as well or not, if it does get added it will cause a big row as many players are under the belief there's been a load of EVs added, even when in the past six months you can count them on one hand.

I don't know if this will interest anyone, and I do know probably most no-one else wants, but here are my six picks of cars I'd love to see added in #ForzaHorizon5 in 2025.

Also, it may be a tough list, as it seems only two have appeared in modern games.

1993(-1998) Renault Twingo (Gen 1) [Pre-Facelift]
1998(-2004) Fiat Multipla (Type 186) [Pre-Facelift]
2023 Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid (XW60)
2022 Volkswagen ID. Buzz
2021 RAM 1500 TRX
2022 BMW M3 Competition xDrive Touring (G81)

Forza Horizon continues to cook with their next update with some great new cars.

M5 CS is awesome, and some more wagons is cool, although again I'm not sure what the 'mix-up' is (unless it is having wagons).

Also wish if we got wagons, we'd finally get the M3 Touring.

With just one new car the following month, I not only might take a break from grinding this game, but maybe it's a sign we're heading for the end of new cars being added.
