Lukas, to you youtube videos are just fine for judging graphics. For you it's ok to praise the reflections on TDU, a game that looks subpar when compared to what's available out there, and what's coming (F1, GT, etc).
So really, to say the cars in Forza 2 look just fine to you doesn't really mean that much to me. To me, the FM2 cars clearly look (so far) more like a videogame, in GT's case, they have a photo realistic look to them.
I will say it for the 100585th time that GT will have fully rendered interiors, and that's a huge step up from FM2 cars. The lighting looks considerably better in GT, the colors look a lot more realistic in GT, the driver looks extremely detailed, and the reflections look great.
Here;

You may call them bad/old shots, I think that's the real look of the game as of last time we saw it. Those law-quality shots you posted don't show much.
You mention cube mapping, but any effect needs to be applied very well to look great. If cube mapping in FM2 will look like this:

Then I don't want it.
That said, I'm judging from what I've seen of both games so far. And that said, PGR3 cars look comparable if not better than GT's, frankly the differences are way too minimal for me too care.

I noticed that both PGR3 and FZ2 have over exagerated colours.
HDR allows for higher contrast which could effect the saturation of colours.
If you look at the yellow car above it's not really very realistic looking.
Marumaro for the WIN !!

You say you dont care for lack of ingame cube mapping in gthd at the same time admitting you think reflections (cube maps) in gthd are better. And dont you care that trees dont reflect on car?

And yes, I'm perfectly serious about F1:CE--that is a HORRIBLE screen grab. Direct feed shots and video show how beautiful the game looks--and in motion it's even better. The realtime and dynamic volumetric lighting effects are basically mind blowing, if you've seen the game in action and you still think it's not one of the best looking (best, imo) racing games ever, then okay!
Nice war you've started here Acert, some people are a little too defensive. GT:HD indeed has beautiful car models and a wonderful palette and a nice light model...but don't let that fool anyone! ;) ..a more "Realistic" look is always welcome in a game like this. But some people will be fine with pop-off-the-screen-cartoon-cars too.
It should be more interesting when we see the real GT5, anyway.
I mainly did it because I keep checking FM2's site and it is... so... slow. I love these sort of games (reason I got a PS1), and if MS is gonna be quiet I may as well get my drug of choice elsewhere :P Anyhow, sexy cars and FM2 SHOULD go together! I just gave some samples of what we should expect as a minimum.
Big/High expectations for all these games. Come on MS, release some GOOD FM2 footage! Blow us away!

I don't really care if there is an incar dash view or not, its nice to have and look at and wow people, but I'd rather use a 3rd person or bumper view when actually trying to race. I wouldn't be suprised if they were not used in GT5 simply because of the large number of cars(which is why FM2 doesn't use it). And GTHD only has like 5 or 6 cars I think.
We need some new FM2 screens too, last ones released are from September, I would really like to see what it currently looks like.

Small, which makes the quality suffer. Hard to tell. Come on MS give it up, show us some gameplay. This game is comning out in around 90 days right?
EDIT: No US/EU scans, as you should know by now.

PGR3 looks jaggy to me in places, always jarred with me. Can't believe they want to pull the same crap with Forza 2, 60FPS or not!
