There are various levels of "semi-premiumness". Some cars appear to only have more prominent (3D) seams between body panels, others appear to have been reworked quite a bit (these ones have very transparent windows, although their cockpit is still black). I'm not sure if I want to list them all now, it really would take a lot of time.

Bumping from the last page as it might be useful for others as well.

can only hope PD cleans up the rest of em' through the updates...
That's the day I am waiting for. That's why I am worried about porting GT6 to the PS4. That won't go over well. Adding polys to a PS2 title isn't going to cut it. Technically they need to be completely redone for the PS4. If that means dropping all the cars that aren't originally high poly, I am fine with that. From here on out, all cars should be premium status and high poly. The consoles are only getting better so the games themselves should as well.

Most of the upgraded Standard cars in the list I posted (which included the Mitsubishi Colt in the image above) have about that amount of improvement. Some more (RUF cars seem to be among the best ones), some less (all FD-body Mazda RX-7).

Seems like it's the lighting that makes all the difference. The car is largely the same other than some dodgy textures.

Most standard cars haven't been massively improved, but you can see that the Colt above has better polygonal detail than the GT5 version, in addition to better textures and no more baked shading.

Definitely cleaned up and I like that it has wipers now. It will stick out when on the same grid as the premiums but the improvements are welcome. Thanks for posting this! If someone would kindly do the same thing with one of the older Subaru rally cars, I would greatly appreciate it.
 
I have a 1997 Camaro Z28, which has been upgraded. I'll try making a couple photos, but I can't do any comparison right now.

Nice! Not asking you for comparison shots but could you kindly tell me if you can flash it's front lights and if the reverse lights work? It's something that no one could answer me so far :(

Nothing done to the Team Oreca Viper GTS-R?? :(

It can't flash, reverse lights don't work.

They are under the SRT brand, I checked all cars there and those that aren't Premiums haven't been improved.

By the way, I still have to go to the XMB menu to export images to an USB storage drive. I can't do that directly from GT6...

My phone makes this car look almost premium. Does it look good on a larger screen?
