Best:

BMW VGT - It feels so hooked up, and it looks great.

Worst (tie):

IsoRivolta Zagato VGT - I like the way it handles, but for my money, it's the ugliest car in the game.

Chaparral 2X VGT - Annoying since GT6. It looks awesome, but POPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOP. I dreaded doing that Daytona TT.

The ordering within tiers is just the order I thought of the cars, they aren't ranked within tiers. Special shoutout to the GTS-R Tomahawk for being maybe the most useless car in any GT - you can't enter any events with it, but it's also always slower than the X so it's never an optimal car for custom/quick race grinding either.

I forgot the Daihatsu, as it turns out.

It's second bottom for me. Not for performance reasons - the Daihatsu should absolutely be slow - but because to me, from the standard angle it always looks like they took a Copen, and put its chassis on a stand or a plinth, like it's meant for a display case instead of driving. It just doesn't look like it should function to me.

There is argument that the Bugatti could fall into the "lazy" group since the Chiron design was pre-finalized internally before the Bugatti VGT reveal.

I think it's better to preview a future design (Bugatti) than to reuse a previous design (Toyota). :)

When the Toyota VGT was revealed back in 2014 they were previewing a future design (Supra GR and the '19 race car variant).

The Bugatti, Toyota, Daihatsu and BMW were the only ones that previewed either an actual future design or company design language. One could argue that they might be the only ones that stayed true to the original concept of VGT program and that the others all became willy-waving what-if machines.

Explained with an image:

3 best for me: BMW, Honda and Suzuki (good looking, grounded specs, and usefuls on events into the game. In the case of Honda you can even tell it resembles what a modern S2000 would be and the BMW I have seen photos of people doing widebodied M2s based on the VGT)

3 worst for me : Chaparral, mitsubishi and Daihatsu (Chaparral is literally a spaceship and an ugly one lol, Mitsubishi is lazy, uninspired and recicled and Daihatsu is basically a modern copen with a widebody kit)

Because the base FT-1 also did that...?
 
In total, I've only owned the Infiniti, Tomahawk,BMW,Subaru,and Honda VGTs but the Honda was the best one. Personally, I love it's design,and interior. Feel like it's underrated, but hey, most of my garage is Porsches and Chevys,so what do I know?
 
I have a soft spot for the Subaru, since it’s a bit like the car I swooned for for a few years but was never given the opportunity to buy (Levorg.) It also sounded pretty good. The Suzuki is also neat.

As for worst, I can’t even name the many similar-appearing swoopy shilouette cars. The way many of the VGT cars look so alike, it’s almost like 70’s/80’s hatchback levels of convergent evolution. Didn’t any of these guys check to see what other manufacturers did before popping out their VGTs?
 
Love: Toyota FT-1 and Mazda
Hate: Bvlgari and Suzuki

Like which?

I don’t know, I honestly stopped paying much attention to them before GT Sport. They’re like SUVs and crossovers, they all sorta look the same to me since I’m disinterested. When I hear VGT I think of an arbitrarily swoopy, indistinct blob like this:

Looking through all the VGTs I guess that’s really like a quarter of them, so I overgeneralized.
 
Best VGTs for me are LM55 mazda and Bugatti gr1 .
Are both extremely " versatile " in terms of use them from any other .
The worst by far as i can remember was the Subaru one .
 
Honestly, the best vgt car is Ferrari VGT, while the worst one is the Genesis VGT.
 
I've driven the Audi E-tron and Mini VGTs in recent weeks they've both been quite nice. The Daihatsu is also a good bit of fun.

The Italdesign Off Road though I dabbled for a little bit and thought it was appalling.
 
In terms of both design and influence from (and on) the product line of a given brand, here were my favorites:

Genesis
Hyundai
Mazda
Ferrari
Lamborghini
Porsche
Bulgari
Audi
Chaparral
Skoda
Suzuki
Zagato
Jaguar

And here were my least-favorites:

Lexus
Toyota
Mitsubishi
Subaru
BMW
Mini

Honestly, I don't think it's a coincidence that as the VGT program went on, it feels like the designs got noticeably better. It's almost as if a lot of various brands (though not all) didn't take VGT seriously in its initial years, but now they are. It makes me wanna see some brands introduce new VGTs that already have them, especially Subaru, Lexus, and Toyota. I'm definitely hoping for a more formal Pininfarina VGT, too.
