Umm... what do you think the body of a car is made of? Iron? Candy? Snowflakes?

Cars in general aren't composed entirely of plastic though. I know that much. And it varies per car/ manufacturer. Isn't aluminum the most popular material?What I'm saying is that these cars look like toys honestly. That's my first impression from these new screens. The interiors especially...and to be fair, plastic is heavily used in the interior of cars. But the textures don't look right. Then again, I've never been on the inside of any of these vehicles.
LOL.... so your complaint is that the frame of the cars in those pics look plasticy? You have X-Ray vision? LOL
And yeah... most cars have plastic bodies.... they might call it a polymer something something.... but guess what that means? It's a fancy word for plastic. What does it matter that cars are not made entirely of plastic? 95% of what is not plastic is hidden beneath the plastic.
Edit* I agree with you on the interiors... they seem lackluster....
Edit* Ex-that.... the interiors are actually much cleaner looking that NS:Shift.... they have a lower polygon count... but Shifts Interiors are blurry & muddy.... take a look at Forza's interiors again.... the details are lower... but everything is crisp.
Anyway... I'm still impressed that the 360/PS3 can produce visuals like GT & FOrza, considering the hardware. I'd love to see what devs could do with the specs of my rig.
Where does X-Ray vision come into play? You point out that the "95% of what is not plastic is hidden beneath the plastic". Suggesting that the plastic material coats the other materials. So if the plastic visible from the exterior, how does the X-Ray reference relate?Consider "plastic" as a synonym of mine for looking unrealistic. The point I was making is that some of the screens look like representations of toys to me (inside and out). The technicalities of the usage doesn't discredit the fact it looks that way. The game looks good, it's just not what I thought it was. That's no fault of the game though.
In addition, what confuses me a bit is that I swore it didn't look exactly like this before...The interiors are clean though.
