I believe the narrations were taken directly from previous episodes of Top Gear.

I wonder how the GT fanboys feel after watching that

"
The Limited Collector's Edition includes the "VIP Car Pack," which includes the 2011 models of the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, Ferrari 458 Challenge, Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera​ and Noble M600, RUF Rt 12 R. It also comes with a 10-car add-on pack of American muscle cars which will be available via the Xbox Live Marketplace at launch.
The special edition also includes five custom-designed BMWs, one of which will have been designed by the community -- if you rate your car-painting skills you can enter here -- and the rest of which will have been painted by BMW, Turn 10 and "other talented artists" in homage to the BMW Art Car Challenge.
The Collector's Edition will also include the brand new 2012 BMW M5, recently revealed at the 24 Hours of Nürburgring race in Germany.
That's not all, though -- Collector's Edition purchasers get VIP Membership status in the Forza community, which entitles them to "special recognition" in community features both in-game and on ForzaMotorsport.net.
As well as all these in-game and community goodies, the pack also includes a 96-page book written by the editors at Top Gear magazine, including a variety of photos sure to satisfy any who like ogling fast cars that they'll never, ever afford in real life. Oh, and some stickers.
Those who order early can also get their hands on the "Launch Bonus" car pack, which includes the 1965 Ford Mustang GT Coupe, the 2011 Koenigsegg Agera, the 1997 Lexus SC300, the 2011 RUF RGT-8 and the 2011 Tesla Roadster Sport."

I'm trying to figure out where to pre-order it from. I want the 1M from Best Buy but I think the CR-Z would be fun from the Microsoft Store. I'm not interested in the Alfa, Sti, or whatever the other car is.

I just preordered it from Microsoft. The 1M coupe is from Best Buy, and the collectors edition is $89 from them, but $69 from Microsoft. Amazon is $79.

Well, Dan officially announced today that Porsche will not be returning to the franchise. He said over the past 18 months, they have continuously tried to work with EA & even had folks within' Porsche try to work out a deal, but EA has stayed firm.

Hopefully, Porsche will decline EA's bid for them when their contract is up with EA.

Meh...they've got RUF.

Porsche to me isn't really a deal breaker. They may offer it later as DLC, much like Shift and Ferrari.

Hopefully theres still major news to be shed about Forza 4. No news yet has made me lust for the game.

^^ I agree. Thats pretty much the only thing that could make Forza 4 an amazing sequel.

Even if it wasn't dynamic, like in GT5, I've been watching replays of some replays of GT and its really and very realistic how you'll start a race and its sunny, then its raining in some portions and overcast/hazy.

Plus their attention to detail is out of this world, graphically. Forza doesn't stand a chance in that dept.

I take it that EA doesn't want to fork up any more money for Porsche... What's funny is that they don't have the $$$ for Porsche, but they do for Mercury...

I had GT5 for PS3 and found that they did pay quite a bit attention to detail but some things in the game really did look overdone and a tad unrealistic. Forza 4 is a bit better than Forza 3 but you can still tell in quite a few shots and scenes where there is a bright light reflecting off the car and such.

Overdone or not, there are videos and pictures out there that continue to have me ask myself, "is that real?" I can always pick out areas on Forza 4 that don't look as authentic. Im nit-picking though...it will be great!

Wasn't an issue with cash. It had to do with what EA wanted MS to do with the Ferrari license they possess.

Dan said however, that they didn't want to block other games from having the manufacturer, & apparently, EA didn't like that.
