I'd love to see the "old" Opel GT in the game at least it would be a car that a person could actually afford to buy in real life, I may be a little bias on the Opel thing

Technically, a shopping cart is part of 'transport culture,' but I don't want to race it in a simulator. There's a difference between automotive passion and corporate marketing. Gran Turismo became famous for the soul of racing and engineering. Replacing icons like Koenigsegg with generic tech-firm SUVs dilutes that culture. If everything is 'car culture,' then the term becomes meaningless. Let's get back to the 'Real' in 'Real Driving Simulator'.
I know enough to see when a racing franchise is falling behind its competition in terms of content quality. You telling me to 'stop' just shows you're out of arguments. I don't need to speak for everyone to have a valid point—but if you look at the community feedback globally, I'm definitely not alone. I’ve made my point, I’ve contacted Sony, and I’ll stick to my standards. If you're happy with SUVs and missing legends, that's on you. I'm moving on. See you on the track.
The old Opel GT is a beautiful car and I totally get why you want it—that’s the 'soul' of car culture. But that’s exactly my point: we can have the affordable legends like the Opel GT AND the engineering masterpieces like Koenigsegg. It shouldn't be an 'either/or' situation. A great simulator should cover both ends of the spectrum, from the cars we can buy to the ones we can only dream of. Hopefully, Sony starts listening to all of us. Enjoy your Opels, I'll keep pushing for the hypercars. See you on the track!
I’m not ignoring them, but two cars in one update don't fix the bigger picture. It’s great we got them, but it’s still just a drop in the ocean when icons like Koenigsegg are completely missing for years. We shouldn't be satisfied with 'the bare minimum' while the game is being filled with tech-marketing cars like the Xiaomi. I’m asking for a consistently high standard, not just a few crumbs every few months.
I am telling you to stop saying "we" instead of "I", not stop defending your position.
If you want to know how I contacted Sony: I filed a formal consumer complaint through their official support channels regarding the product's content direction. Whether it reaches Yamauchi’s desk tomorrow isn't the point—the point is that if enough people stop 'just accepting it' and start making official noise, things change.
The title is "stop the grandpa cars" but then you put in "iconic german tracks" specifically which makes me think you're only grumpy your favorite content is not in the game. In this case I am as pissed off as you because Anderstorp isn't in the game either lol so let's march to Sony City together 
I remember the Demio in GT1—starting from the bottom was great because you were working your way up to the legends. But in 2026, the 'top' is missing. We’re getting modern commuters and tech-firm EVs, but where is the reward at the end of the tunnel? Where is Koenigsegg? Starting with a Demio is fun, but staying stuck with everyday traffic while the competition has the world's fastest hypercars is a different story. Nostalgia shouldn't be an excuse for missing modern masterpieces.
It’s not ragebait, it’s just frustration with the current direction. My point is: I love the classics (like the old Opels), but I hate that we get 'commuter tech' like the Xiaomi instead of the real missing titans like Koenigsegg or iconic tracks.I'm very confused on what you want
Unfortunately 100% that complaint is never going to be seen let alone taken into matter. I think complaints are more for store and server problems
Is this ragebait?
Again, you're ignoring the fact that the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra is the fastest ever production, road-legal four-door around the Nurburgring Nordschleife, in the top 15 of all discrete production, road-legal platforms (its Prototype sibling is not road-legal, but considerably faster still), and faster than any recorded Koenigsegg there ever (by about 30 seconds). What makes this achievement anything other than an "engineering masterpiece"?
And you may speak only for yourself, not the community. You absolutely do not speak for me, and I already showed you the GTPlanet Suggestions forum which has a total of two Koenigseggs in the top 100 (the third is 103rd) of Suggestions over the past decade; you don't speak for us either.
"Shopping Carts" are cars and are part of the whole.
If a three-wheeled Daihatsu is considered more of an 'icon' for a 2026 racing simulator than the world’s most advanced hypercars, then the community’s standards have truly hit rock bottom.
Yes, we all started with the Demio, but we didn't buy the game to stay in the Demio forever. The point of 'The Real Driving Simulator' is to represent the REAL world of automotive excellence TODAY.
Then it seems your standards have hit rock bottom considering you only seem to think of the absolutely right now rather than the past-to-present-to-future - you’ve clearly not understood how Gran Turismo works.
By your definition this brand has no place in the game
There’s a difference between 'adhering to the same list' and ignoring the absolute milestones of modern automotive engineering. Using 'variety' as an excuse for the absence of industry leaders like Koenigsegg is a weak argument.
This reply brought to you by Koenigsegg, industry leaders.
In 2026, the Koenigsegg is NOT a relevant starting point...
The grocery getters are not an excuse for the absence of the world's most relevant high-performance brands.
Exactly. A Demio is a Demio, and a Jesko is a Jesko. They serve different purposes in a racing game. My point remains: a 'Real Driving Simulator' in 2026 should not be missing one side of that spectrum entirely while doubling down on the other.
I would argue that the Valkyrie is the most advanced hypercar at the moment, and wait, it's in GT right now. The Midget became an icon, ironically because it was included in Gran Turismo.
Gran Turismo never celebrated the absolute peak of engineering. When it came out in 1997, The McLaren F1 was the fastest production car in the world. It didn't come to the franchise until GT6, that was in 2012. It took PD 25 years to get the "pinnacle of engineering" up to that point in the franchise.
There is already a game that has all the latest hypercars in it, it's called Forza Horizon. Go play that instead, if it concerns you that much.
It's not missing one side of the spectrum mate, there's plenty of hypercars in the game. There's just not one specific brand of hypercars that you want.
