I can see Atari has their eye on this being a BIG money spinner. I am worried that the game will come with nothing but a Ford Cortina and you will be forced for fork in real cash out for the good cars

Agreed.
Hopefully however you can *purchase* the cars individually (like you can with the PGR3 downloads) as there are only a couple of the above that I would be interested in *Dodge charger*

am i just imagining it or can you race people and the winner gets both cars, if so couldnt you end up losing the car you bought of the marketplace?

I think I'll wait and see how the whole car purchasing thing works.
If you download the packs for free which then allows the cars to be bought in game (with in game money) then thats cool....
... however if how big your ingame garage is, is determined by how many M$ points your willing to pump into it then it makes the whole thing a bit of a farce and I think I'd rather give it a miss

I do agree but I have two worries, which have been mentioned:
1) A lot of the cars on the list you mentioned were what you get out of the box in PGR3, and some of them are amongst what I'd consider my favourite cars to drive (of course, just because its my favourite to drive in one game doesn't been I'll like it in another).
2) Buying extra cars. MMOs have shown in the past that making people pay for addons makes the best players not those who invest time and have skill, but those who have the moola to afford all of the downloads. What I was shocked about is that the PGR3 download cars were free in game currency so rather than working and saving for the best car, I could just buy its free variant from the download pack. Although of course the n00bs will complain, I think its essential that the downloadable cars, whether free or a few quid in real money, still cost in game credits to buy.
I am still getting the game however
I really hope we don't have to fork out money to ms for new cars. It should be purely in game money.
I think the cars already mentioned should be available for no real money but you have to buy them using hard earned in game money. Then any additional cars they want to add should come in packs and you have to pay real money for those. They cannot mention all these cars then say you have to pay for them.
