Yes, that's what i'm saying. It doesn't matter if you have a wide variety of cars if you only have a certain number of starting credits. You may be able to start with another starting car, but the flow of the game wont change because of it. It still remains the same and that is to start with no license races with a low PP car.
The only thing that might be interesting is to see how far you can get in the game with another starting car, but in reality i don't think it matters that much. Especially if you count tuning for it.

I like having a greater variety of cars to choose from, makes my decision feel more individual

I think Gran Turismo is the type of game that would benefit from a "New Game Plus" feature, where it would reset licence and career event completion, but in return change up the prize cars(within reason) and tracks run in the career events, allowing players to run through the game again, but with a different experience.

This would incentivise those who want to replay the single player campaign to be able to do so, while also mixing things up so they don't become stale. Especially if the game cranked up the opponent difficulty the second time around.

Not entirely certain how this system would handle a players existing garage and credits, whether to segment it off until passing certain completion, or allowing full access at all times. But it's an idea that I feel would compliment the Gran Turismo formula, especially with their current flow of adding cars that otherwise wouldn't have much use.

Those side monitor cameras on the top of the car is not present for the current model in the game. Although I feel like it's gonna be a Hyper Force situation where it's just for the sake of a manufacture showcase only.

Well, the AFEELA we have in-game is the prototype. They might be showing the production model.
 
What exactly are the differences between a Nissan Skyline "Z-Tune" and an "R-Tune"?
To my uneducated self they are both tuned versions of the same car, by the same tuning house, so I don't know how or why they would be different from each other.
Would be interested in finding out though.

There's S-Tune as well, and it's essentially just three upgrade stages, going from S to R to Z. The older GT games had quite a few of the lower stages, but this is the first time the full-fat version has made an appearance.
 
S and R tune are after market stuff you can add up to a GT-R, Z-tune are cars that Nismo bought back (20 of them), then entirely stripped down and are fully hand-(re)build, both chassis and engine, the S and R are tuning, the Z is basically a different car using similar parts but the process used to develop makes it way more of a refined object, a bit like the Nismo 400R .

Also to add, the Z-tune features some altered body mods focused on aero efficiency (hood vents, front fenders, among others). The article in the link below explains in further detail:

When Sport was at the same lifecycle point 7 is now, only the GR86 was left content wise, GT7 had already been announced for most of a year, and I think we're right at the point where the delay to 2022/confirmation of PS4 support happened.

The situation isn't the same (Sport was itself delayed, pandemic effects, Sony don't reveal games as early now, there's not a new console to hype up) but it does feel like we're in 2020-21 GT Sport era, just with cars still coming regularly.
 
GTS updates got 170 cars!! We're only down to 114 with tomorrow's update for GT7!! I think there's still quite a while before this stops!!

Sophy 2.1 was added recently! And PD teased us b-spec in December!! Sophy always integrates circuits in each update!!

Comparing GTS and GT7 is bit apples and oranges though. GTS was an early access game - regular updates where part of the deal whereas with GT7 updates just cannot be expected in the same way - especially free ones - given GT7 released as a full game.

The support GT7 got already went well beyond what I personally expected, but - as I said before - I'm getting "we are done here" vibes and also feel that way myself.

I'm more than ready for a real next (as in current) gen GT.

Yes, but remodeling all the exterior/interior vehicles has been a long process for PD since the release of GT6! Today, I think the scanning and integration system in the game is much better than the one from 10 years ago!!
 
There's still some weird absent events in World Circuits:
  • Gr.1 Prototype Series doesn't have a race at Le Mans.
  • World Touring Car 900 doesn't have a race at Fuji Speedway.
Either that's an oversight on Polyphony's part, or maybe those combinations are being held back to be added alongside new car content.
We saw this recently with Colorado Springs finally getting a World Rally Challenge race, to go along with the Lancia Delta Rally Car.

Some says that quirky cars or SUVs recently added to the game could be beneficial for the early stages of GT8's "Career Mode". The more I think about it, the more I think it won't be the case. Especially if they are back with the same GT Cafe formula.

Lately, I thought to create a secondary account to see how much of an advantage / enjoyment the recently added cars could be in the early game. But I immediately remembered the first Menu Books and didn't even bother to follow through with my idea. It wouldn't do any better, everything is railroaded from A to Z. Demio - Aqua - Fit => 500 - Mini Cooper - Beetle, etc, etc.. Exception made to the very first one, you don't even need to buy them.

You'll regret saying that when the September update drops with Motegi and the 2024 GT500 trio...

Nah, I think you expect too little of PD. I'm personally expecting Pikes Peak in both paved and unpaved forms, complete with full weather and 24h cycle, and air density simulated. As for cars, I think they'll be adding the Lotus Evora Gr.3, Elise Gr.4, and Daihatsu Midget II.
