Absolutely no way the graphics in Forza are better.
They looked plain and flat with little to no scenery. The cars were rendered appropriately with decent detail, but they just didn't look as shiny and realistic. GT4 has WAY better graphics. No question in my mind there.
The gameplay, I dunno about. It just didn't feel right. I'm used to GT4 with the Logitech wheel which feels great.

i am definitely "used' to GT and I have the wheel, so I know I'm biased.
...but i spent about 4 hours straight with Forza, giving it an honest go around.
I'm running with the line assist (whatever you call the green arrows) to help learn all the new tracks, and that is a really neat thing to help learn the line and brake zones such.
Again, this may be a result of the controller, but the cars I raced were just to tempermental. I purposely did not adjust any of teh defualt handling settings (bought nicer parts, but did not attempt to adjust them to what I would run). The cars were very tempermental.
The cold tires physics were a little overboard in my opinion (it's not pouring rain afterall), and then when hot, I didn't find the slicks gave that increased grip for cornering and braking that I expected.
For example, trail braking in an AWD car is not always a bad thing. But I get penalized in the game by them not letting me turn in. Then they tell me afterwards to not brake and turn. So clearly they don't even want me to trail brake. So now I gotta brake straight, turn at even speed, not to much throttle or it'll understeer like mad, and I don't even have good mid corner control via throttle lift (AWD car again). I'm just not "feeling" it yet.
