I think this may be an unpopular opinion, but I believe GT8, or whatever comes next, should re-implement or utilize the car structure they had in GT2-4. That is; not every car is immediately viewable or purchase-able. Some cars you only get by winning certain events. Some you only get by reaching certain milestones. If you don't do certain things in the game there's a solid chance you never see a certain car. A part of GT's appeal to me is the mystique it creates with its car list. It's why eyeballing the Minolta 88C-V in GT4 with its "Cr.----" price felt so good, because you were like, "****, how do I win that?" If it just showed it to me day 1 and I could buy it I wouldn't care about it as much, but it took something to earn that car. I didn't wait for it to show up in a legends dearler. I didn't wait for a UCD refresh like in GT5. No, if I wanted it, I had to engage with the game, and that's something I think has been missing since GT4. I realize there's an argument to be made for being able to access every car from the jump, but for the CarPG that GT tries to be, I think this is one area where it can not just do better, but it already did once before, and personally I'd like to see some kind of return to that.
