There's a new preview here:

It does reveal a few more tiny details about the game and there is at least 1 new screenshot.

the only new detail is there will be 21 bosses.

I don't know if I like the idea of beating "track times" in order to gain turf. I would much rather race the gang leader or something... (If I took this from the article wrong, Please let me know)

It's no different than Time Trials and Tollbooths. And if the drift is on the point-based system, it's no different than the points in Downhill Drifts in UG2.

I know, but I see the taking over of turf to be a "hostile" type of thing... I can't see this happening.

gang leader: you beat my time on this track.

Me: yup

gang leader: (to crew) OK guys, pack up... we gotta get off this turf... hey, Lets go to chuck-e-cheese...

Update

IGN has just posted some new screenshots from the PS3 version of Carbon that highlight a whole host of new cars. See the screenshots here.
Thanks to tsuchiya for the info.

So here's a quick revision of the carlist as it stands:

Already Known Cars:
Aston Martin DB9
Chevrolet Camaro SS (1967)
Dodge Challenger
Dodge Charger (2007)
Dodge Viper SRT10
Ford Mustang Shelby GT-500 (2007)
Lamborghini Gallardo
Mazda 3
Mazda RX-7
Mazda RX-8
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX
Porsche Carrera GT
Subaru Impreza WRX STI (2006)

Newly Revealed Cars:
Alfa Romeo Brera (2006)
Audi R8 (2007)
BMW M3 GTR (2003)
Chrysler C300 (2006)
Ford Mustang GT (2006)
Lamborghini MurciÃ©lago (2004)
Lotus Elise (2004)
Mercedes CLK500 (2005)
Nissan 350Z (2006)
Porsche Cayman S (2006)
Toyota Supra (1998)
VW Golf R32 (2006)

The carlist is bordering between something good and something bad. This is the crucial point where EA can easily screw things up.

But hey, Nissans are back! And anyone else notice that the BMW is back with THE EXACT same vinyl and body kit from Most Wanted? Methinks it will be part of the story in some crucial way, probably near the beginning.

EDIT:
Wow, perfect. Page 100 for crucial new tantalizing information!

Bah, that car is ugly as hell, but like most ugly yet expensive cars, it's probably fast as hell, as well. (I like commas!)

Of course, they obviously meant to type 1 million.

Strafer · Post by **Strafer** » 15 Aug 2006, 13:35

Yay! 350z is the car i use in every racinggame.

Redhawk8810 · Post by **Redhawk8810** » 15 Aug 2006, 15:15

Cool, my Beamer is back.... I also am glad to see that the charger is coming (even though that nwas known forever ago)

Fishwhiz · Post by **Fishwhiz** » 15 Aug 2006, 15:50

i hope if nissan decides to come into carbon then honda will too.

Very cool, most cars were unexpected.

indeed

/me is liking the Fairlady Z
(considering there is a 350Z, they may be other nissans aswell

)

a Brera could be nice but im not touching either the Audi or the Chrysler

(EDIT; why isnt this emoticon working?

)

the pics look a LOT like Underground..

EDIT2; seems there is a regular Mustang GT? why

They need a low/mid end car. The GT500 is mid/high end.

And about the 'body kit' on the beemer, It's the stock M3 GTR wbk.

xturbo · Post by **xturbo** » 15 Aug 2006, 21:34
