Hello GTP'ers.
With my Collector's Edition of GT5 came this amazing little book called "Apex", which besides teaching me lots of driving techniques, also has an almost complete car list of the game. I checked all the pages in the car list and it got me thinking in a couple of facts:
Given that this is a hot topic, I do this only with the intentio of some constructive and sane criticism (Trolls, go away.) I'd like to discuss this topics in order so we can hopefully give PD some interesting feedback regarding what players want in the car list. We're car nuts after all. We didn't bought this game for grinding, leveling, being punted by robotic AIs, or watching glorified replays called B-Spec, we bought it for the cars.
So, I'd like to kick the ball rolling with the last item on the list: Unwanted premiums. This is to me an important topic given the fact that Premium models are the ones that take the most of PD's resources, are the most contemporary and "hot" cars, and are the ones delivered in their full cockpit-enabled, rim-changing, bodykit-equipping, race-modifiable glory. You would expect the best cars to get the best treatment, and on most it is, but there are some that in my opinion fail to deliver.
Take stuff like the Daihatsu Copen. The Tesla Roadster. The Autozam. The Prius. The i-Miev. And so on.
Wouldn't you prefer having stuff like the Buggatti Veyron (Absolutely essential), the Saleen S7 Twin-Turbo (Re-modelling a GT4 favourite), the Volkswagen Scirocco (Not everything has to be a monster car), or the E30 M3?
With the time dedicated to model a Premium car, why giving us boring (to the majority of the population at least) K-Cars and econo-crap-boxes? Why not old favourites and more recently released sports cars? Why just 3 LMP racers?
Discuss at will, but please be respectful. This is a sensitive topic and I don't want it to degenerate into a stupid troll-war.
Cheers!

- There is a tremendous amount of variations of Japanese cars.
- There is also a lot of cars which can't be considered exciting.
- The biggest part of the most exciting race cars was left standard.
- PD didn't include sufficient premium models (At least when comparing to GT2/GT4 standards and the optimistic "1000 Car" advertisement).
- Some premium models fall into the second category.
- Showroom-level cars are outdated. (Like the Saleen S7, the Mustang GT, and the Focus RS. There are new generations of this cars for example.)
- Protoypes are outdated. (Protype cars are interesting. And they were mindblowing in GT4, when you had the latest insights in car industry in a game. Now, most prototypes we have are heaps of old junk. New ones would really refresh the game.)
- More "Tuner" cars would be great. (I'm not talking about ricers. If PD doesn't want us to have top of the shelf customization options, at least give us some tastefully modified cars from real world companies. Like the Amuse, Mine's, and HPA cars in the game.)

), a Premium Model T, and a Premium Patentwagen. This cars were awesome and interesting in GT4!
, Imagine PD making some of the new additions again only as Standard cars for future releases to satisfy those who are outraged by some Premium choices.
