So are we getting a car per day? We should =P
I've got to do my little analysis here...
I noticed, in all of the pictures, the car looks dirty, as if there's dirt and dead insects on it. Either the paint is flawed or they put really nice effects in there. In the first cockpit view, the tachometer, its blue, or purple? I'm colorblind, its throwing me off, and then in the other cockpit view its not. It could be because the first picture is closer to night time, so the lights are on in the car. The interiors look stock, but I don't know if the thing where the radio usually is placed is the radio, or some other monitoring device seen in some of the videos that shows the RPM and stuff. The first interior shot, the shadow on the passenger side is a little pixelated, so that needs to be cleaned up, but the textures, the leather, it looks pretty convincing. The steering wheel, the VW shines, but the textures around it, I think that stands out as done pretty good, because the different pits in the leather, it looks to be casting a shadow onto itself making it look closer to real life.

Now, the shot of the back of the car, I see a faded paint transition, goes from green to white, could be a vinyl or a type of paint system... The car once again looks a little dirty. The car number is "107" so that hints that we can have triple digit numbering. There's no classic "Need4Speed" license plate, thats a big step up. Although, the billboards in the distance, those say Need for Speed, which is a little stupid to me... we know what we're playing hopefully. Also, that billboard seems to be less blurred than the other two... There's a lot of skidmarks on the track, so they might stay the whole race.

Back to the cockpit view, under the MPH, there's a decimal number, the first is 0.5 I think, and the second is 1.1, I'm fairly certain that thats the Trip counter for the milage, so either its keeping track of the car's total mileage, which I doubt, but who knows? Or its keeping track of that race's mileage, which its still a subtle plus.
The driver's gloves are different designs, maybe you can buy different ones.

Just pointing things out.

I am not directly connected to EA/SMS.
