I start this poll, because i'm wondering how many of us are ok with the sacrifice of the amount of cars for the quality of modelling, and the huge gap between standard cars and premium cars.

Is the modelling perfection of these premium cars too much?

Actually it seems to be 800 standard cars without interior (or cockpit) view and 200 premium cars with perfect full interior modelling (buttons, back-seat, seatbelt...)

Edit: For me dashboard modelling is only what you have in front of you (wheel, instrument, gauges...). not the audio, nav system, passenger seats doors and glass details...

Whats the diffrence between dashboard and interior!? Is dashboard just the fron part of the cockpit with the wheel and the interior is everything!? I'm confused at what you ask! :dunce:
 
Oh wait I just figured it out never mind... I voted for full interior because it kicks 🤬 . And just cockpit is just too incomplete in my mind.
 
I'm pretty sure they're just futureproofing these models for future installments in the series. God knows what features are to be planned - operable doors/bonnet/trunk/windows in Photo Mode, perhaps? Used cars with bits actually wearing out/falling off? Children in the back seats (The Real Soccer Mom Simulator)? It's anybody's guess at this point.

Its 2010, everyone had high standards and anticipation, im guessing they thought GT4 models are future proof...

Lets be honest, we got owned this week, worst news ever.
 
Possibly, but I'm pretty sure they wanted to do interiors for GT5 from the outset. I mean, cast your mind back to the GTHD demo, way back in 2006. Sure, you couldn't drive the cars from the inside, but they clearly had an interior.

It might be that they're actually learning the mistake of not modeling the interiors when GT4 was in development and getting caught short with GT5, so they're having preventive measures now.

Yeah, we did get shafted, but we'll get over it. I mean, it's not like they wanted it to happen.
 
I'd like to see all cars have some form of dashboard, even if it was a generic one the same for many cars. But PD are perfectionists so I doubt that will happen. And I guess there would be some licensing issues if the cars didn't look as they actually do :/
 
I would definately go for 300 premium cars. To me, the standard ones just look... terrible and shouldn't be mixed with the premiums. They look like direct ports from the PS2, so out of place, and I would seriously doubt it if someone told me they had more than 80000 polygons (PGR3 Cars), especially after all the graphical problems and glitched I've noticed when looking closely at the cars on the Standard Models GT5 video.
 
I would have rather seen PD select 300 cars give them the Premium treatment and not offer any standard cars at all.

Of course, this opinion is entirely based on limited evidence.

We do not know what the Standard cars will have yet.
