Here is what I am thinking of doing to fix the gloss black wheel problem - meant to copy cat the dipyourcar.com antique gold plastidip.
I probably have some time this weekend to take a couple of paint/body requests if anyone has them.
Oppo, what color settings did you use to get that Guard color? Looks good (I agree the Guard in-game is too blue). One thing that I don't like is that the same color often looks different in ForzaVista than on the actual games tracks. Especially metallics and on the wheels.
Maybe the Press/PR team took this leeway too far and decided to keep the 400+ ponies under the hood hidden too. It would explain why they aren't releasing the promised horsepower numbers.
I also saw it at a car show and could compare it to the outgoing 2014 right next to it. Makes the 2014 look ancient. Much better stance especially around the rear end and front quarter panels. Looks sleek standing still and much more swept back and less upright than the current model if that...
It is working for me as if Sunday 11:00am CST.
Interestingly, the halogen projector headlights are listed as standard equipment on all models, but the HIDs are automatically checked and listed as included on all packages (from the base 050A v6 to the 401A GT Premium).
I also noted the...
IIRC, I believe the current navigation system comes in the Electronics Package and is ~$2300 retail for the package. Which makes a new iPad sound like a steal.

Everything I've seen, acknowledging it was announced today, has pointed to the software running on OEM equipment; not Apple equipment. The one video I saw from Volvo did not look like anything the Ford my touch equipment could not handle. I 100% agree with you that it does not appear that...
I am afraid you are most likely correct. However, because I have not yet seen any video of the actual s550 audio system in action (please correct me if there is one out there), I am holding out slim hope that this may have been in the works behind the scenes for a while and can be announced...
That is exactly what I was thinking until I saw Ford listed as a future partner. Ford has consistently been absent from the makes who implement Apple products.
I am planning my own s550 purchase and have been lamenting having to deal with Microsoft or even Blackberry interfaces as I am...
