All cars must be "standard" cars

Let's face it, with all the complaining about the difference between "standard" and "premium" cars "ruining the illusion" for players, there's only really one sensible thing to do. Downgrade all of the "premium" models so that they match the quality that the vast majority of the cars in the game are modelled to, and then model even more cars in at that quality because it's easier to model cars at that level.

Think about it. Gran Turismo could possibly even have 2000 standard cars! 2000. If Polyphony made sure not to overdo it with "clones" the ammount of variety could be incredible. So many of the cars people are crying for in the cars subsection of this suggestion forum could make it into the game!

This is a racing game. Realistic graphics are by no means the most important part. Racing is, and more cars can only improve that!
 
Its not quite so stupid PD could save a lot of time & money by building cars at a level a bit below premium.
They could then spend that on useful things like improving the AI.
You never notice the level of detail in a race only in photo mode & I could put up with that to improve the core of the game which after all is racing.
Try zooming in on some cars to see the detail that you will never notice in racing.
Heck old school headlights some you can see the hatching bulb & even wires going to indicators & running lights.
I know the AI is slow but you don't get time to look at things like that while racing :mischievous:
 
This.
Thinking about it PD could also reduce the amount of car sounds. I mean, they are rubbish anyway (still waiting for PDs chief sound technician to be fired) so why even bother? Just make all cars sound like the X2014. Saves further memory so PD can include even more Standard cars. Win-Win situation.
