Is this the first front-wheel EV? Would make an interesting tuning case if the car offers a Weight Reduction Stage 5 kit. Might perform better than the CR-V.

I'm very excited for the real Z-tune to make its mark in GT as well as the first super premium kei hatch too. This Qashqai has a stunning design too.
 
Well this one is a skip for me, unless it includes a surprising collection of engine swaps.

More time on Duolingo instead this month!
Which by the way got updated with the absolute worst feature I ever saw, the replacement of "hearts" system with the trash "energy" counter that depletes even if you get the answer right
 
As welcome as new cars are in the game, and as nice as the Skyline Z Tune is there are so many other cars, as for the other two cars, I would rather the team spent time on creating interiors for the VGT cars that do not have them so I can use them in VR.
 
The comments sections of the video posted to both Playstation's YT page and Gran Turismo TV's YT page are gold. :lol:
You aren't wrong, wow that's some blowback.

Reading that I suspect GT8 might need to be rather less "Gran Turismo" and more "modern sports and race car game" or it might not do so well, that's all people seem to want.

PD doesn't create anything for the VGTs, it converts the manufacturer-provided data. If the manufacturer didn't provide any interior, you don't get one.

I've always felt that they simply shouldn't have been permitted incomplete, but they were, so...
 
The article on the front page here says the Z-Tune will be in the used cars as well, is that actually confirmed? Because that would be the first newer than '01 car there, plus this is such a rare car in real life with 20 units made, if anything it shouldn't even be in brand central but legendary only.

Edit:
I somehow forgot that all the post '01 cars through '10 end up in UCD too, disregard this whole post, was tripping. :dunce:

The people in these comments sections are a very vocal minority that, let's be honest, most likely got introduced to the franchise via Sport and have no idea what to expect of a more "traditional" GT game. The like/dislike ratio on the video is something like 91% last I checked, so it's obviously not something most people are angry about.

Every Brand Central car pre-2010 is there... There's a 2002 Dodge Viper GTS, a 2002 Honda NSX Type R, a 2003 Audi TT 3.2, a 2004 DeLorean DMC-12, a 2005 MINI Cooper S, a 2006 Ford GT, a 2007 BMW M3, a 2007 Ferrari 430 Scuderia, a 2009 Alfa Romeo MiTo, and a 2009 Audi TTS in there right now.

The newest Legends Car, on the other hand, is the 2000 Honda NSX GT500 - and it's the only car in there not to be from 19xx - with no Brand Central cars appearing there.

Scarcity alone doesn't appear to define UCD/LCD appearances. The NISMO would set a new record for rarity but there's a couple of three-figure cars in the list.
 
I'm expecting it to not be in the UCD, myself. The LFA doesn't show up there (and the MP4-12C and SLS do, so 2010 is a valid UCD year) so there's some standard that disqualifies them.

Ah that’s kinda like the whole bullet holes fallacy in a plane thing.

As a lot of us here have been playing since the first one we are fairly committed to wanting a good game and experience.

Now the novelty wears off after a couple of decades for the “silent majority” who probably moved on but still play the game as and when to relive some of those days.

Not withstanding unless you buy the game tomorrow a lot of people would experienced the way it’s played and rolled out, and 3 years in it is disappointing on a lot of levels.

1. The cafe structure has stuck as it is, so all those day one players it’s very much a clicking exercise to complete it (and at this point credits probably aren’t much of an issue for 3 year players)

2. The QOL updates have dried up in terms of UI and UX improvements.

3. The formulaic simple events structure is becoming old with nothing new or interesting about them.

4. Sports mode has had zero love in both QOL and actual races, with unbalanced cars and constantly repeating races with little to none variability.

5. The TTs (sports mode) are now even becoming less and less interesting

6. The car rosters while interesting choices aren’t fitting the games structure very well. Where are the moon rover missions? The Lewis Hamilton challenges? Where are more missions quite frankly.

7. There has been no championships introduced especially as it can now incorporate Sophy for a majority of the player base.

What we are getting is the bear minimum of whizz bang now, and its trading off the cars look so good in the game.

Being absolutely honest there is probably more people that are moaning in the comments than are regularly driving the shopping SUVs

I do think it’s fair to ask a company to push itself for customers and be customer first rather than company first.

Of course there's also the additional hilarity of the fact that all 20 (19 customer plus one retained) actually were used cars. The car itself is basically a restomod :lol:

iirc they did add some interiors to a couple of VGT's?
 
What if the Lightweight K-Cup event at the Nordschleife ends up being an endurance race?

It would not be unprecedented, The Human Comedy does have a Kei Car event after all.
 
It's not about the cars, its about the usability of what is being added. No tracks, no championships, no meaningful content. Just a miserable 3 event addition that is only to stat-pad current active users. What a *ing * mentality. I hate how they are trying to push for a "live service" solution....
The game already has over 3 year of release and support, and already received a Spec 2 update over a year ago.
So, is normal the content updates get a slow down.
 
It's funny how your perspective changes on the SUVs when someone close to you owns one. I never hated the SUVs in the updates but the CVT ones do have limited usability and there probably is a more sporty/track usage car to go in their slot, but my Mum owns essentially this exact model of Qashqai but from 2023. Same appearance and interior design. So when I woke up and saw this, I ran to show her - she's not into Gran Turismo, but she still found it cool to see her car there.

And so do I! I acknowledge there might be other cars which give more fun in the game but I'm not sure I would trade another car for the Qashqai. And maybe that's PD's thinking. I'm sure there are others who feel more receptive towards an SUV/CUV if they or someone they know owns one.

It is important though that they find ways to make use of them well in-game, and also the CVT cars. But I actually am excited for the Qashqai. I'm going to paint it grey like my Mum's and drive it around.

I'm a grown man but stuff like this is really cool. And I totally understand why others would go "A Qashqai? Eh, whatever." It's not gonna be the most dynamic car of all time but I have to say, despite that, seeing my Mum's car in game is going to be really cool.
My wife owns a qashqai. I don’t even like driving it in real life. I’m definitely not excited about driving it in gt7

Even so, it's really not a healthy place to be as a generalist car game if all of your vocal fanbase is trained to think only a certain subset of cars (seemingly race cars and 202X European sports cars) matter.

It's not even the cars you'd expect getting the blowback - the C5 comes up a lot more than you'd think in that comment section as something people don't think was a good add because it's old.
