Given the lacking number of cars and main focus on online racing I'm mentally preparing for a vastly different gaming experience than the previous entries and tempering my expectations as such. Still, I'm sure the driving itself will be sublime (collision damage notwithstanding) and the car models to be some of the best this side of an automaker's CAD drawing.

Ordered on Amazon, so it should be waiting for me when I get home. Then comes the downloads, update, DLC code for my money and cars, and the inevitable server maintenance issues.
