Forza Motorsport 2: More cars, this time from the Germans

We’ve give you the European release details, the Marketplace contents, the delay issues, and the videos. But to really get to know what Forza Motorsport 2 is all about, we gotta take a good, hard look at its core – the cars. A few days back, we talked about the 2002 Enzo Ferrari and Maserati‘s 2004 MC12. Now that we’ve dished out what the Italian auto manufacturers have to offer, we will now talk about the cars of Forza 2 from the German car-makers – Volkswagen and BMW.
