Ha. LUKEGT used one of my pics from Horizon  | |
| Sorry for sounding anal but I think the back view should be replaced - the current rear shot has decals applied to it (the model in Horizon has no badging). | |
| Someone corrected the origin. yay! | |

| A little birdy told me... Seriously though, I cannot reveal my source (obviously), but he - or she - has been correct on many occasions. And no, it's not the infamous Badned .gif ";)") | |
| +1 to that, I'm really curious about it. | |

| carcrasher88 wrote It's actually quite a surprise that the Austin trademark couldn't have been acquired, since Turn 10 (who, of course, is working with Playground Games on this game) was able to get licensing for the MG marque, which, like Austin, is owned by SAIC in China. The most logical explanation would probably be that either BMW or SAIC didn't want to share licensing on this car, hence it being listed in game as a MINI (BMW trademark) without Austin badges, and having the German flag instead of the British flag associated with the car.

| I'm surprised that they didn't put this car in Forza 4 | |

My thoughts exactly We also have Austin-Healey, which would require SAIC approval also, no? | |
| Well, I asked Badned about it and this is what he had to say: "As I said earlier for Horizon Microsoft licensed the car through BMW and as such it cannot wear any logos or names which rights are not in the possession of the BMW Group. In the future, if everything goes as planned it will be under its right make." -- Last edit: 2012-10-15 16:22:56 | |

 I hope they can fix that for FM5. | |
| At least the badges can be painted back. But seeing such an icon with a german flag under it... | |
| It's because they got the licence through BMW, not Austin. I think that's also why it's labeled as country: germany in game | |
 No badging? | |
Not including fog lights as an option is a real shame... |
