Shoitaan

Hey guys,
As the title says, I'd like you to recommend me a driving game - BUT, theres some 'Shoitaan specific' things that I'd like you to consider when giving your recommendation.
- I've pretty much never really played Driving games that much. I used to hate em cause I couldn't turn corners for damn but I'm getting the feeling I'm missing out on some solid gameplay so I'm willing to *gasp* learn. So yes.. me = racing game n00b
- I really want a game with car customization. The only 2 racing games I ever played were Sega GT 2002 (I think thats what it was called) on the XBOX cause I got it free and Need for Speed Underground because the visuals were stunning as were the customization options. Sega GT allowed some level of customization though upgrade parts.. but in reality you didn't really choose between items you chose got a better part so it was a no brainer to upgrade. I can't remember the upgrade stuff of NFSU well but I think it was about the same. What I remember and love was the appearance customization. I really liked that and I think I definetely want that in the game.
- One of the most important reasons why I wanna try out a racing game is that its usually showing off a lot of eye candy. I saw the video review for PGR3 and was amazed at the attention to detail on the dashboard and windsreen, side mirrors etc etc. I also want one of the the best looking racing games available on the 360
So.. yeah... I thought NFS: Carbon would be right for all these given its the latest one but from what I can tell its not being reviewed that well. Plus given its all night time, you can't really appreciate the graphics to a great extent (or maybe you can? /shrug).
I thought NFS:Most Wanted, but I dunno if the visuals are that great plus dunno too much about the gameplay.
PG3 - I've been playing the demo for this. Visuals are pretty good although I expected better (but maybe I just set my expectations too high :(). But I have no idea if it has customization. I don't think it does but I dunno for certain.
The only other racing game that I know anything about is TDU and the concept of that sounds really cool but that was another game that wasn't very well recieved. I hear some parts of it are really crap.
So yeah.. is there a racing game that you'd recommend to me based on all this stuff? Forza Motorsport looks pretty good but I don't think it'll be out for ages... maybe I should wait for that regardless? Well anyways, I've rambled enough, thx for reading and your comments ;)
