While much has been said about the Forza franchise's peculiar approach to fear of missing out (https://www.destructoid.com/forza-motorsport-is-insistent-on-not-adding-permanent-new-career-events/), Forza Horizon 5 is not about to let go of its entire seasonal content model. It's good, then, that the new season is here to stave FOMO off, even if only by a bit.
More specifically, Playground Games held a poll among Forza Horizon 5 players a few months back, allowing them to vote on which timed exclusive vehicles ought to return in early 2024. With the votes counted and accounted for, Playground has now announced the full suite of returning exotics, such as the highly coveted Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer from 1990. There's a grand total of 10 returning vehicles, as well as 8 new Community Choice cars, giving players lots to grind for.

Forza Horizon 5's 2024 Community Choice cars
Forza Horizon 5 players will have a lot to grind for over the next couple of weeks, from the looks of it (https://store.steampowered.com/news/collection/featured/?emclan=103582791470243830&emgid=3870345512632501299). With two rosters of exciting new (or "new," as it were) cars to purchase and unlock, there should be no shortage of stuff to be excited about.
The first roster - the returning cars from seasons prior - will be available as regular, purchasable vehicles as part of the unique Autoshow selection starting January 30. The full list of cars includes all of the following:
Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer (1990)
Aston Martin One-77 (2010)
Lamborghini Sian Roadster (2021)
Rimac Nevera (2021)
Ferrari 599XX (2010)
Porsche #23 917/20 (1971)
Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta Lusso (1962)
Ferrari #24 Spa 330 P4 (1967)
Italdesign Zerouno (2018)
Peel Trident (1965)
The prices for these cars are yet to be revealed, of course, but it's a fairly safe bet that it'll take a pretty penny for players to purchase all of them outright. For those who just cannot scrounge up the case, as well as those who have kept up with Forza Horizon 5's timed seasonal releases, there's an extra roster of eight all-new cars being added to the game as well:
January 4: McLaren 12C Coupe (2011), Aston Martin DBS (2008)
January 11: Koenigsegg CCX (2006), W Motors Lykan HyperSport (2016)
January 18: Mercedes-Benz 280 SL (1967), Pagani Huayra (2012)
January 25: Fiat Dino 2.4 Coupe (1969), Spania GTA Spano (2016)
The only way to earn these vehicles will be to grind seasonal activities (40 and 80 points, respectively), but the good news is that doing so also earns you lots of Credits along the way. In other words, it shouldn't be too big of a deal to grind for both of these car rosters at the same time, depending on which pieces your collection may or may not be missing.
It's a good start to 2024 for Forza Horizon 5 players, then. Of course, the slight downer is that the new Community Choice vehicles won't be staying around all that long in the first place, perpetuating the FOMO further. Ah well, small victories!
