About the demo:

So the demo of Need for Speed Carbon will be out much earlier than the NFS Most Wanted demo was.
What it'll contain is still being determined, but it'll give you a solid look/feel of what the core elements of the game will be.

About the customization

Most aspects of games (especially for NFS) are included if they fit or make sense to the overall concept.
The rating aspects of Underground games was included because the style aspect is core to that racing scene. Customization was scaled back in MW because the racing and cop evasion was the core concept, not customization. So where does Carbon fit in this? You'll have to wait and see.

He also said that the star rating system in NFSU2 probably wont be back in NFSC.

About the cops:

YES there will be police in the game, but not the same way as in Need for Speed Most Wanted.

and finally about the carlist:

I've not seen the list since around March. While there's always going to be one car that people feel the game must have, this list is really extensive and I'm really blown away with some f the proposed vehicles.

Once it's official, I'll make sure to shout it from rooftops.
