There's no racing car in 1.61, and I'd posit that a sporty coupe is less "everyday life" than an electrified C-segment crossover.
In terms of power, the Subaru GT 300 and the Nismo Z Tune are equal. And the BRZ S 21 is certainly less everyday than a Qashqai but that everyone can buy...

What's your point? So is the Aston Martin Vantage; it's not a racing car and neither is the NISMO.

You're absolutely Mister Fantasticing for those goalposts there.

My first post on this subject is to say that the 2 car updates are similar!! I didn't say they were exactly the same!! and I'm sure the Nismo Z Tune will stand up to the BRZ GT 300...
 
We've been having this same conversation since Prologue in 2007.
So let's stop pretending.
What we all actually want is
Conect vs Caddy
Transit vs Vivaro
Touran vs Qashqai
Prius vs Ioniq
Mini vs Fiesta
Corsa vs Yugo.
We all want to race online what we actually drive in real life.
So stop bitchin (no g) about unobtainium special editions

Yes, I know. I read it, blinked a few times, and responded to it with a quote that expressed my surprise.

Pretty much the only similarity is that there's three Japanese cars. And this is the third such update, with the other being 1.52 - Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 8, Nissan GT-R T-Spec, and Toyota HiAce - which wasn't exactly "similar" either. However 1.61 and 1.52 do share another feature: the three cars can all be bought in Brand Central, while one is also available as a Used Car (unless they make the unprecedented decision to add a 2005 car to Legends, given that they only made 19).

and I'm sure the Nismo Z Tune will stand up to the BRZ GT 300...
In a drag race. Considering weight, downforce, and tyres, probably not anywhere else.
 
Theres a chart somewhere with the "stats" of all the liveries, race pics, scapes pics that have been shared for the 2025 update cars so far. It basically goes F3500>every other car>>>CUVs. Players are not engaging with them. It's baffling that they keep being added.
Considering how long they spend on each car, even if someone at PD was screaming "Low engagement! Abort!" there could still be several more already in the pipeline.

Anyway, can someone tell me how to pronounce "Qashqai"?
 
When does the trailer usually drop? It’s already Wednesday
Apparently, it should drop sometime today

The Trashqai is so depressing that PD's social media officer has gone AWOL.
As @Nakano219 points out, it's usually in the early afternoon UTC on Wednesdays - so pretty close to midnight Thursday morning over in Japan, early afternoon on Wednesday in Europe, late morning Wednesday US East Coast and early morning Wednesday US West Coast.

I'd be expecting it around 2hr45 from now - but it could be an hour either side, and we have seen it earlier too.
 
I see you a bit more positive then usual….do you know something? 👀👀👀👀
I'm the exact same amount of objective as usual.

The silhouettes reveal cars only, nothing else. Track information either comes from a further or second teaser or the video/blog post which arrives the day before (which would be today). Until then we know nothing about it. I say this every month to people on both sides of it.

I'm also not sure how:

I wouldn't be surprised.
... to find out we're going to go a full year between tracks is "positive".

Also, when the silhouettes dropped, I posted this in the related article:

At present there’s no evidence to suggest whether there is or isn’t a new circuit — we’d always hope for but, after a year since the last one, not expect one.
 
Honestly guys… wo won’t get a new track once again in this update 😭😭
Happy if I’m wrong but this most likely is just being realistic.
 
Paid or free I don't mind DLC. Just glad we are still getting updates. One of my favorite games Armored Core 6 has gotten a total of no DLCs. Not an apples to apples comparison but still glad to have DLC in a game I enjoy playing. TBH I think I would much prefer a couple of new tracks but what can you do? It is what it is
 
Did you played previous GT games, such as GT2 and GT4?
There are many "commuter" cars along with sports and race ones.
I don't understand your complaining.
If want a race car-only game, go play Assetto Corsa Competizione or go wait for Project Motor Racing, that are focused only on the race cars you like.
Gran Turismo will always have an ecletic and variated car list, as in every game from the franchise.
Indeed, I recall that in the PS2 and PS3-era titles, there were quite a few Nissan Skyline models that weren’t necessarily GT-Rs - and I don’t mean the R30 and R31, either, nor the first two generations of the Skyline. No, I mean they had R32 and R33 models that were like, GTS-t models. Which funny enough, I wouldn’t mind seeing the return of, since much like IRL, those models would be a lot more affordable in GT than the GT-R models.
