Well here's something very interesting

EA Canada has done an excellent job of blowing out the customization sections of the game, ranging from the exterior mod parts (hoods, doors, spinners, roof scoops, trunks, dashboards)

I"m going to leave u ppl to ponder over that. There might be a cockpit view after all!

Like the view with the steering wheel, etc.

thanks, but i dont think there will be, i think the dashboards refer to the custom gauges like the one we saw in the ( performance tuning )
movie, but we can still hope.

IGN.com wrote:The PDA will tell you of an upcoming race using the on-screen system, or you can just cruise. You might find an opponent to race by simply driving the streets. The streets are filled with regular traffic cars and tuner vehicles. If you can stick with a tuner car for long enough, he'll challenge you to race (called "OutRun Challenges") in which the winner must get ahead of the other by more than 300 meters.

Judging from this, they seem to be telling us that the AIs will be able to CHALLENGE us to the Outrun mode as well instead of human racers challenging them all the time, 'cos that'll be boring...

AIs challenging us thats good, i doubt there'll be a view where u see the steering would be good but they would have shown us already so, we just gotta hope

You're right Sam. Out of all the videos, I can judge & guarantee there'll be no Cockpit view... The nearest you can get is the HOOD camera view...
