Judging by how you access just about everything from “Home”, does this spell the end of the map of dealerships and events we’ve all come to love?

Seems that each challenge has a certain number of levels which will most likely offer different challenges in increasing difficulty

Ok so judging by the r8 v10 pic, there will be rim selection, rim painting, body painting, performance costmization, and race-like livery…yes? :D

My interpretation of the screenshots:
Image 1:
Car Wash, Oil Change, Paint Car, Paint Rims, Change Rims (and tires?), Improve aerodynamics, Change engine parts, Improve Chassis Rigidity (Chassis Upgrade), “Racing Modification”.Image 2:
Car Wash animation in progress.Image 3:
Start car painting animation/apply color, Pick color, Exit(?)Image 4:
I have no idea, one of the animations…Image 5:
“Car Delivery” probably for receiving cars bought or received as a gift from friends. Even though car parts can be bought from GTauto, you have to tune and adjust them in the Tuning Shop.Images 6 & 7:
Pretty obvious. -

Doesnt it look like the paint bucket is for choosing the colour and the gun is to start the animation on the GT Auto guys painting the car?
Seeing as a colour is already picked, I think he got that in the paint bucket.

That’s exactly what I’m thinking.

According to Gran Turismos official site it says “Send cars and upgrade parts to friends.” which has to be what the “Gift” and “Car Delivery” icons are for.

I’ll go in order on these pictures (first picture to last picture). I’ll blog about a few of these points in further detail in my blog.
* GT Auto looks to be more advanced than ever before with many more options available. Doing a little detective work… the sixth icon looks like aero parts, the seventh looks like (maybe) engine swapping or certain engine options, and the icon on the far right looks like options to improve the rigidity of the car (or maybe repair damage). I’m pretty excited for the painting options.
* It should be pretty fun washing cars and seeing your car get washed in GT5. It looks great what PD has come up with.
* There were a lot of us who speculated on livery and stuff like that. The biggest advantage of painting cars is that it makes your car YOUR car. In one sense, it was a good thing that Gran Turismo 4 didn’t have true online play because I’d hate to imagine similarly-colored cars with no true way to tell them apart. The insight on paint colors is most amazing. My “official” colors are blue and gold (like the Blue Angels), so I’ll enjoy picking lovely blue colors for my cars and with gold accents.
* My best guess on what the fourth picture is probably is some sort of dyno test.
* In Gran Turismo history, this may be the most detailed and most beautiful My Home arrangement ever. It seems like you can do so much more. I do become a bit concerned that there is no more real world map. Maybe one thing I admit missing was how you could quickly go from one menu to another like in Gran Turismo 1 and Gran Turismo 2. You had four little icons that quickly linked you to certain key areas. Maybe this returns for GT5, but how will we know?
* Twitter is madly popular, so I’m okay with a Twitter-ish interface for communicating. Community is important for any online-enabled game.
* One of my talking points that I discussed here on GTPlanet in enhancing Gran Turismo was to offer services for newcomers. I am glad PD has taken the time to include such special challenges and facilities to help enhance racing skills.
All in all, I’m amazingly impressed with all the work PD has done. You may hate that Gran Turismo games take so long, but it’s worth it in the end, isn’t it? Bravo!

I love the paint gun feature! I hope that we’ll have the ability to choose custom-made colors and not just preset ones… please!

Very sharp looking interface – so much better than the crap that was the map in GT4.

I think the engine option is about maintenance, not tuning or swaps. I am assuming that after putting miles on your car, the performance with start to degrade and will need a tune up. Similar to chassis refresh.
