Believe it or not, I'm not a real fan of the Infiniti G35's looks. Only a few cars look good with tall headlights (where Cadillac fails), and this is not one of them. I don't know if Nissan's deal with Renault is hurting Nissan's lineup, but look in GT4's Nissan lineup. The Skyline 350GT-8 is kind of a big change from its racy and raucous predecesor, the R34 Skyline. This is a case of a mean car being softened in looks and basically kind of kills the charm of the last model. About the only Japanese car company which has luxury-like cars that can still be mean monsters on the road is- Nissan's archenemy, Toyota. Remember the Toyota Chaser? I often call it a Japanese BMW by its looks. But it's pure Japanese with that turbocharged beast of a motor.
To think at one point, the game we know as Gran Turismo 1 would just end up being a so-so racing game. I believe with its wonderful charm, grace, and have such an open door to a world of cars, made it a pretty good racing game to see the world. That "world" was expanded in the sequel. And as the strategy guide claims for GT2's sequel, there may be fewer cars, but many of the makes from the last game still were in GT3. Now there are many more cars from all around the world including classic models. I never heard of Autobianchi, Jensen Healey, FPV, or even Alpine. GT4 opened the door to me on that. Say what you want about all the Skylines and Lancers. When you really think about it, over 12 nationalities of cars are represented. I know I'm American, but I would like to see Australia better represented in races and cars. A Holden V8 Supercar would be nice to take on the Ford Falcon XR8 race car. If this is a sign of things to come, GT5 would probably have many more companies represented from many countries around the world and back.
