voted for standards and it's logigal to me, there's 4 times more standards so it happens that I use them more often.
 
I rarely visit the Premium dealer, only sometimes to watch Non-Standard cars.

i'd say they've not taken over but look more appealing with every update ;-)

This. I still seem to prefer premiums over standards, but I browse the standard section a lot more than I used to.

I've always prefered standard cars over premiums, just because I've been more accustomed to standard cars based off past experiences from previous sequels.

GT5 kinda throws standards and premiums together pretty clumsily. I'm not too impressed how standards are reprsented as used, high mileage cars and premiums are presented as fresh, unmolested new cars.

For example, you could find a Supra RZ (a relative modern classic sport car) with something like 20,000 miles on it but then you could turn right around and enter the Toyota dealership and find a Supra made the better part of a decade before the RZ with no mileage and 100% chasis rigidity. ???

Another example... Bugatti. Why doesn't Bugatti have a dealership to sell the Veyron? Because its standard? So what? A standard car can't have a new car dealership? I'm sure IRL if anyone was considering buying a Bugatti Veyron they'd most likely have enough money to throw away to buy new. I don't mind a slightly used model for a considerable discount, but I do believe the UCD and OCD both sell the Veyron for 2,000,000cr and once more I've got a Veyron from said entities with 0 miles on it... tell me what used car dealership selling Hondas, Toyotas, Mitsubishis, Subarus, and Nissan is going to offer a Bugatti Veyron - easily one of the most prestigious super cars in the world.

The whole used car thing in general is needless and is just really a pain in the ass grinding mechanism built from a lack of creativity. Offer standard cars in the new car dealership would make things so much more convenient, but NOOOOO we've got to wait some unfathomable amount of time (which could be upto 2 weeks) to find the cars we want to drive, collect, and enjoy.

Just because standard cars aren't the 400,000 polygon premium models of the 21st century doesn't mean they're below them. I'm a pretty sentimental person and when I saw my fictious '00 Z06 in black pop up in the UCD I about broke down thinking about all the hard times and all the high places we've been through in GT4.

But then again, I've always supported the position that PD will eventually drop standard cars all together since they really do look tacked on and are dated as hell. Ultimately premium cars are the way of the future and I think GT6 will have a relatively impressive roster that doesn't need the filler standards provide. And only then will I ever truly embrace the premium car over standards.

Agree with you except the part where you say that the used car dealer is needless.

For me, its essential, a GT game without used cars would be 50% less fun for me, and I bet, for a lot of people. That's already part of the GT experience, start a game, find an used car, buy it, race it, fix it.

Without that, it'll be just another racing game. It'll lost a big part of its appeal. For me, 2009+ cars should be in the new car dealer and all below and older, in the used car dealer.

And yes, I would completelly buy a pack with 100 standard cars, if the car selection is good.
