I always want more content. That's the sole reason why I play and like this franchise.
- PD advertised that for GT6 was updating all cars to be premium quality just some without interiors.
STAHP right there.
PD NEVER said anything about upgrading standards to full premium quality - they said some of the old favorites were getting the premium treatment (Countach, Cizetta, Alpine, etc.). Then they said that they would try to shorten the gap between some (meaning as many as they could get to) standard-premium cars. All they promised and advertised was that "standard" cars would be "less bad".
Except...

That's the official information, without any mention to what you wrote. What the advertising states is all cars will be in the same category, just some without interiors and that is what this forum called "semi-premium" (concept never stated by PD). There's no mention to "shorten the gap to some standard cars". It's all of them and not "less bad", and certainly isn't in the box
As for fully "premium" -what PD calls interiors-, very few of the former "standards" were upgraded to that status. On this "premium" note PD did fulfill what they promised (about 10 cars?), but not on standard cars as a whole to premium just without interior (800).
In other words, the advertising says the distinction is gone at least for exteriors for all cars, but as you can see and as I wrote less than 20% of GT4 and older cars were upgraded to this new made up category.
643 cars out of the ~1200 are PS1 to PS2 quality, 152 out of the ~1200 are what the advertisement says and 443 are "premium" (have interiors). Actually in the thread created to compare cars that received the treatment, it's pretty clear the exterior of "semi-premium" is not "premium" but just in between.
This forum, neogaf or anything else related is not the official info, and as you can see the game advertisement goes against what you wrote. That unless you can prove your point, because I could link plenty more sources that prove mine, the Silverstone event for instance.
Also using bold text for no reason, quoting only one phrase and quotes out of context are quite bad. The posts are #314 and onwards, which are longer and provide the context of the discussion as well. On that note the discussion was the lack of DLC thus far -another "promise" was substantial DLC every month or two (Kaz)- and that PD somehow manages to skip criticism in car count, when the competition has been trashed no matter they actually added more content than PD and that game was actually finished on time instead of releasing key features and content months to years after due to lack of time.
