What was the reasoning for removing popular cars in GT?

[PUSH]

I have been a complete fan of the GT series, since the very first release.

My question is, With the extensive car list throughout the series, What was the reasoning behind removing certain cars from the game(Example: Toms Altezza, RWD DelSol, AE86 GT car...) and instead fill the dealerships with multiple of the same car in different years? the Mazda Miata and the endless amount of RX7 FD's is a great example.

Will we ever see the F1 Espace again?

Yes it would be nice to see the Renault Espace F1 make a comeback. Also would be nice to see the Venturi Atlantique, Vector M12 & the Wiegert Vector again

With a 6 speed tranny option!

Agree. Vector, Venturi, other RUF models, the JGTC race cars from GT1 and GT2 (Unisia Jecs R33, BP R32, Taisan (?) Viper etc).

I've always assumed its been licencing issues, for some anyway (like the FPV Falcons i'd say), but the others its just not fair.
