    Regardless of how weird and Japanese that commercial might be, that is a bit of marketing genius… and a great commercial. even though it’s only really about 10 seconds long.

    So far I guess all of them will be featured on GT5 (I have mi doubts about the Datsun 510), but all the other ones, they have been featured on last iterations of GT, or news.

      Did you see Impreza 2008 NON-Turbo?? (no hood scoop??) I have an ’09 Sedan 2.5i, would be sweet to drive it in GT5 and make upgrades, etc….

      Where in commercial and or making of vid did you see it?

    2. Lyvan

      I remember the Subaru was a WRX STi white or silver, but i dont remember exactly which sec was…I didnt see any 2.5 version

    You know what I love about that commercial? The simple fact that PD is so confident in GT5 they’ll make an add featuring toy cars to sell a video game.

    Lets see Turn 10 do that..

    1. Pie 'n' Peas

      Turn 10 is not a Japanese developer either…probably why they would not do a wacky ad like that! Besides, they are doing perfectly well with their Forza franchise, which happens to be a perfectly good racing game if you can step out of that bubble for one moment.

  4. MANU56BZH

    Kyosho model cars.
    I love this puplicity, it’s not an agressive commercial film like we can see everywhere. It’s funny, cool, happynes, etc…

    It’s mind, enjoy with all this cars in GT5 !!!

    I wonder if Kevin Butler’s GT5 commercial has produced yet. Should only be a matter of days or tops a week until it airs.

    1. Bernd

      That’s correct. I also spotted something like a 1977 RX7 Savannah, always missed that car in GT4 (not saying that all these cars are in GT5).

  6. GT_Prologue5

    Chatocially funny.

    Also, if you pause it at about 1:16-1:17, you can see the little white microcar is a TATA Nano. I wonder if THAT’S in the game!

  7. Steph290

    Ahhh, that song’s stuck in my head again! Lol!

    Even tho they’re larger, it kind of reminds me of my Matchbox collection when I was a kid. I bought a car every week for about 4 years. Good times!

  8. iamgt5

    haha that’s awesome … i’m gonna find all of my son’s cars, grab him, my camera, and a tripod and head to a park as soon as this damn rain stops. gonna make my own “we love cars” commercial. sadly, i won’t be able to take a film crew with me so there won’t be a “making of” video of my efforts.

  9. bucketseat

    All these cars have interiors…didn’t notice if they had working wipers or not since there didn’t seem to be any weather in this demo!
    Also…didn’t recognize the track…clear evidence of the track editor we’ve all been looking for…although I would have guessed they’d create a more interesting layout.
    Maybe I’m just “jonesin'” for a new fix of details. 2 Nov, while getting closer seems a ways away!

    1. tvensky

      hey! there actually is something! lol I thought that was a joke. still checked out :)) probably some random flying car.

    Does anybody else see the connection between GT5 and Canon DSLRs?
    1) There is this great DSLR Photomode in GT5.
    2) Some days ago, there where pictures from the RedBuul stuff with Yamauchi. There were Canon DSLRs used.
    3) I’m absolutely sure that this making of was made with a Canon DSLR. Not the commercial, but the making of.

    1. TTownEP

      Well with all these new DSLRs filming in HD, they are poised to make film making a prosumer’s dream, and more convenient for everyone. With all the lens choices out there for these, I think a lot more things we see will be “filmed” this way.

  11. JarreauGTP

    Does anyone know if these cars will be in GT5.Some of them are already in but the other ones not.I have a feeling they are not gonna be in the game and are just for commercial purposes, that’s my opinion because we almost already 1000 cars and these are more than that.

    1. LaBounti

      Many of them like the FT-86 slot car makes me wonder if these other cars will appear. I’m hoping the Starion and X6 make it. I’ will have to wear an adult diaper if I find you b’cuz I’ve been waiting since Sega GT to race with the Starion again.

  12. Jimmy_Apex

    Well, no Smart in this game… What a shame!
    The smart Roadster is a really fun car to handle, and the smart fortwo with GSXR engine would have been pretty fun to play !

    :D

    Thank god Kaz wasn’t the director of that ad. It would’ve never been ready, because the cars bounced and crashed a lot.
