The fact it's most likely going to have a free roam mode is awesome. Just like NFSU2

From the same page but of more significance:

Coming this fall for Xbox 360, Forza Horizon combines the automotive thrills that Forza fans expect with a gorgeous open-road world that begs to be explored.

There's talk of the open world being available online too, so you can drive like a granny or rag it round the streets along with mates.
I also heard ideas flying about for a future game that uses google street view to create the map, so you choose any location in the world and drive around in it. I'd be driving up and down the new forest with some crazy fast car!

Even a tb? I'd say petabytes!

That would be cool tho! I reckon if they did do that, most people would ignore all the awesome roads in the world and just rag round there local roads

Could you imagine a drive from here in the UK to the ring? How epic would that be? Saving the progress along the way as you would in real life, for pee breaks, fuel stops, etc.

Lifted from the forza website

Any week that includes Forza Horizon news is a good week indeed! And, by that measure, this week has been a doozy. On Thursday, we unveiled not just the first screenshot of the upcoming open-world racing game, but also the box art. The reaction from all over the Forza World and beyond has been amazing and speculation is currently running wild about what the game will be, the cars it will include, and so much more. It’s thrilling to see and I can’t wait to share more with the Forza Faithful about what Horizon has in store for you all.
 
On the day we released the Horizon screenshot on our official Facebook page, I put an open-ended question to readers: What are you most looking forward to doing in Forza Horizon? Now, of course, we haven’t said a lot about the game so far, so everyone’s responses were coming from a place of pure uninformed enthusiasm. Some of my favorite responses from the hundreds of comments:
 
“A Forzatographer dream come true!” 
“Did someone say roadtrip!! ” 
“Sweet open road driftin hells yeah” 
“The Famous FORZA PHYSICS in free roam” 
“Cruising in classic cars with my friends it will be the best!” 
 
And the comments go on and on. And it’s not just us sounding the Forza Horizon bell either. Major gaming sites like Eurogamer, Game Informer, and others featured the new shot and the box art—and the buzz will only be building in the coming weeks. //Of course, we’ll be releasing more information on the game soon—we might not answer all your questions but, at the very least, you’ll soon have a very good understanding of just what Forza Horizon is all about. We’re so excited to share with you all the cool stuff in the game—trust me, your patience will be rewarded.
