Price speculation aside, I must say that I prefer this way of doing DLC content compared to paying for cars & especially tracks, as having DLC be exclusively single-player content won't divide the community into the "have's" & "have not's" when it comes to multiplayer.
Like for example if you had to pay for a track, only a limited amount of people could join an online lobby that uses it, since players that don't have the DLC would be locked out.
I could be wrong but I think that's what happened on GT5 (Motegi, Spa etc).
Or if a paid DLC car became the fastest in its category, it becomes a pay-to-win scenario.
The seemingly DLC-exclusive special edition cars look like they are all modified versions of existing models. A bit like the Stealth Model Mazda RX-Vision Gr.3 in concept, but with more differences in visuals compared to the cars they are based on.
I am ok with that. I would be a bit less ok if entirely new models (Insert car here) were behind a paywall, but special versions of existing cars is fair enough.
Frankly our situation when it comes to DLC is significantly better than the racing game industry standard, where new cars & tracks being paid content is the norm.
