It makes me think that he didn't put damage in stock cars because the manufacturers asked him not to. That's the argument he has alwawys used. I always found it shady, and I still do. But you don't see me whining about it, because I don't see how you would benefit from reading that. Of course I don't find Gran Turismo perfect as it is, but it won't get better by posting over and over how disappointed I am (which I'm not, since I knew what was coming), especially when noone knows the final state yet. The problem with the Internet and forums in general is that people talk too much rubbish because they can.
please explain!
Well, this I will repeat over and over until everybody has absorbed it: there is no feature list of GT5 yet, and there is no indication that the demo on Gamescom represents the full game. Thus, basing conclusions of how good or bad the final game will be on what we know to date is moot.
Well, since we're all free people, we can choose what we accept and what we don't. If you say you don't accept GT to only offer damage for a fraction of the available cars, that's your choice. But don't try to force me into thinking the same, because I choose to live with that fact. And yes, I can still sleep at night.
I really doubt that. Five years has gone to modeling cars is what I think, and what probably makes more sense than "porting cars from GT4". They could do that in less than a month. I'm sure it takes time to model 800-900 cars, particularly with fully modeled interiors, assuming all the cars have interiors. It would be unlike PD if the opposite where true.

Who says that has to be the case? Surely having the option to use some cars in "Damage Mode" is better than having no damage at all? While it may be preferable to have as many cars 'full GT5 spec' as possible, I'll take some over none any day. I'd also be willing to bet that more and more cars will be brought up to 'full GT5 spec' as time goes on, meaning that the game can be released earlier.
Come on! Do you really think that is what they meant? I would be amazed if that was the case. By 'GT4 spec', I take it they mean "exteriors only and/or no damage". But I fully expect that their 'GT4-like' cars will look exactly like GT5 cars from the outside. Anything else would be ridiculous. So far, there is no evidence whatsoever that GT5 will have GT4-standard graphics anywhere.
I think you are being very harsh here - even though it has taken a long time to get to this stage, you seem to be neglecting a shed load of things that PD have done. A completely new game engine and new physics; Rebuilding every car* (see above!) and track in HD; Damage; Online racing; Up to 16 cars on track at a time; GTTV; possible Home integration - and all on a new console from previous iterations of the franchise. Not to mention the possibility of many other novel features (such as those alluded to in Amar's thread).
