No, please dont.

The pack is supposed to be based on the culture of the Jalopnik community. Dont vote for a Ford, just because it's a Ford.

I bought a pack with the Italia458. Then...I sold my Xbox.

Memory cards ftw.

The Italia was really the only car I was after that Forza didn't come with.

I was being tongue-in-cheek, and I said awesome Fords, not just any Ford. But, the Jalopnik site itself encourages you to promote the cars you want to win everywhere you can. (reading is fundamental) I find it funny that you're critical of doing something they tell you to do. Not that it matters anyway, BMW fansites have already flooded the polls.

Honestly, putting a poll for what cars to include in Forza 3 on a website that doesn't really have anything to do with Forza 3 was a pretty horrible idea.

the complaints have been rolling in left and right about the choices being advanced, not being what the jalopnik community wants...such as the BMW's...it's supposed to be a pack that represents what the readers like, and think would be cool.

and Forza wanted Jalopnik's support, as they wanted more of the enthusiasts in their market...it's a great ad ploy for them if nothing else

Oh, in theory it's a great idea for Turn 10, no doubt. But in practice, it's a perfect example of why internet polls should never be used for anything, ever.
