really don't see where you get the lighting model looking better from. How do the cars in Forza3 look more "arcadey"  than GT5P? is it the "high polish" on the cars? Because that to me, makes the cars look like they were lovingly waxed and detailed, much like they would be in real life to reduce drag.

Don't get me wrong, Forza 3 looks great.  Anyway I've picked 3 images from the official Turn10 website to demonstrate the arcadey feel.

If you look at the top image, the buildings in the background have a "Uncharted" look to them.  The second image....again the out-houses and the third image entirely looks more cartoony.

I think I've worked it out...its obviously the shader that they are using...it sometimes, shades things unusually....the cars in some shots look out of this world, nice and shiny etc, but in other shots they look as if they aren't shaded well.

 

I kind of agree. I think the extreme high contrast in F3 is a double-edge sword.

It looks good as a game with the extra sharp color but it also creates an artificial feel.

 

I don't know what others normally see. My eyes in real life do not see objects far away with such high contrast.
