GA?
Demo in a few months-ish, full version depends on how much people like the demo and thus give us money
Here is a new trailer we made for the folks who want to know what we're all about - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOeveruBLbE

Shadows are coming - reflections on the ground are harder, so we shall see on those.
Radical thinking eh! :P
We've got shiny new car shaders, door handles and mirrors!

I'll see if we can sort something out for you non-credit card using folks..
Not supported by rockethub
Once rockethub is over we will most likely be able to do Paypal
No credit card? A Visa Gift card could do the trick I think you can buy one with Paypal then use that.
If not you might have to wait a few months..
^This.
You can't currently preorder through Paypal, but once Rockethub finishes and we start running our own preorders you most likely will be able to
Thank you to all of you who've preordered!
We've started preorders to support development!
Go to Project: Automation - The Car ... y Tycoon Game | RocketHub if you wish to preorder.
Not only to you get the warm fuzzy feeling of supporting us to get Automation done better and faster, you also save $10 off the final price and get access to extra content when the demo comes out
(When we release the demo it will be limited to Inline 4 hatchbacks, but those of you who've preordered will get access to everything as we finish it)
Please spread the word about this to anyone you know who might like it, if this does well Automation could be done a lot quicker and to a higher standard

Maybe, it at least includes access to more content when the demo comes out..
Final release is still a while off, but pre-orders (complete with savings/bonus loot) might be happening soon-ish
Not sure, some things are still missing values, so that might be why
Ahh yes, there certainly are a few unfinished bits :P
Dynamically size adjustable wheels and tyres... Like a boss.

An interesting and fairly techy post from Zeussy (the programmer), talking about acceleration calculations and torque (and how it doesn't work how you might think)

'fraid not - I think you can do 3.1lt, but as far as I recall that's the limit
Actually, that's the one thing you WILL have full choices over in the demo
Also, if you can't use a banner image here, you could always put our URL in your sig, if you love us long time

As said, demo in next few months 
You'll be able to build any engine you like, as long as its a naturally aspirated inline 4, and build pretty much any car you like, as long as its a hatchback (so you're pretty much correct there)

We'll see how the demo goes, and if we start pre-orders we might be able to devote more time to it and get it done quicker.
Figure the next few months for a public demo and we'll see how we go after that
@Senn - Good thought, I'll make a forum banner if anyone wants to use it
Yep, its a little bit like autosculpt, but allows a little more freedom
To get a bit more technical, the NFS system is based on morph targets (basically a slider going from "be this shape" to "be this other shape"),
where as our system is based on skinning, which is basically a bunch of handles you can move around that moves and deforms parts of the car.
This lets you do a few more interesting things, changing the shape of the car a bit more - its not perfect but it works OK and we're working on improving it.
