Forza 3 guide Omits all GM cars

[Sinnoth]

I purchased the guide for Forza Motorsports 3 today, and upon looking through Chapter 8: Cars and the master car list appendix, there are no listings for any Chevrolet, Pontiac, Buick or any other GM brands in the guide. The only mention I have even found was the Camaro SS listed under the reward for Driver Level 9.

This is a very serious omission in my opinion, since GM cars take up a decent percentage of the games vehicles, and I for one am very upset there is no information about them.

The rest of the guide seems very good, and well organized. Is there any explanation for the omission of GM cars in the guide? Will there be a re-issue of this guide that includes ALL vehicles?

The absence of certain manufacturers is not an error in the book. Due to licensing issues a few automobile manufacturers opted to not be included in our strategy guide. A note about this appears on page 100. The guide is as complete as possible showcasing 349 cars in the game in great detail. We hope in the future that all manufacturers in the Forza Motorsport franchise will be able to be shown in the strategy guide but for Forza Motorsport 3 we were legally unable to do so.

I had a feeling it may have been a legal issue, but I thought it was unlikely since GM allowed the cars to be in the game. It seems rather pointless to disallow them to be used in the official guide as well.

I did not see the note on page 100, but I thank you for your response and for clarifying this. Still bummed, but at least it wasn't an error.
