Christ, some of the responses in here...
It doesn't matter if stock Civics are slow, it doesn't matter if 4-door Civics don't have such-and-such feature or engine, it doesn't matter if such-and-such variant or car is only available in a certain country (PD collected their car data from local owners in the area of each real-world track they studied), and it doesn't matter if there are several other cars of the same chassis or model (especially with the specific body style being absent). If PD chose to include the Subaru 360, Talon Esi, 120d, PT Cruiser, etc. which are all slow and/or odd, unpopular cars/versions of cars, then ~Sp33~ can wish for whatever car he wants, especially since the car he wants is much more common than all of the cars I just mentioned.
GT4 has a lot of cars, but
a lot of the choices they made are just
dumb. For example,
only including the Talon
Esi, and including god-knows-how-many Skylines and FDs. Not RX-7s, just
FDs. Several M3's, all of them E46 models, and no E36 M3 or the one that started it all (and my personal favorite car), the E30 M3. Including multiple years of certain models just to make the available color choices "realistic" and "official," instead of just offering
all colors available on that chassis and model (not to mention the fact that GT
really needs a paint shop, for custom colors, or at the very least
changing the color of a car you've bought).
The exclusion of many cars that are important to the history of automobiles and particularily racing is just disappointingly odd, but the inclusion of so many copycats (whether they're years of manufacture or variations/trim) is downright wrong, and a blatant attempt to boost the car count, boosting sales for a minimal amount of work and DVD space.
