CallumfromleedsTwo cars which I think deserve more talk about are the TVR Sagaris and Wiesmann Roadster. Also old muscle cars, I was playing Midnight Club LA and was driving round in my Firebird and realised, damn this isn't in GT5 is it :/
Also tracks, the obvious 3 are Motegi, Midfield Raceway and Complex String.
- Mercedes Benz SL R129 Premium Pack (SL500, SL600, SL73 AMG)
- Mercedes Benz CLK-GTR Street
- Dodge Viper RT/10 '93 (also with the sexy RM that it had in GT1 and GT2)
- VW Beetle (Oh, wait... never mind)
- Bugatti EB110
- Bugatti Veyron Premium (not a fan of the car, but what car enthusiast doesn't like it)
- Lamborghini Diablo VT
As for features, I would only wish for a bigger viriety of descrete body kits for all cars and a "today's special" wheel option like in GT4.
As for tracks:
- Motegi in all of its variants (gosh, I miss that track)
- Complex string
Daihatsu Charmant
Ebisu
Driving Park
Off topic but:Pontiac Firebird isn't in many game only Midnight Club, Driver, and Need For Speed
Another detail in GT5 that visually is not well done: In hair-pin bends, the driver turns the steering wheel to the extreme, but never leaves the steering wheel and picks up again to complete the spin, as would be normal in racing. Writing is a little hard to describe, but just you watch this video you will know what I mean:

Of course, I had to get references in another game, but if you notice the video, hair-pin bends, the pilot makes the movement I have described. This is a minimal issue, and despite being only a matter of aesthetics, I believe it would be interesting to analyze this little situation. There are more important things to be improved in GT, but you can not miss with attention to small details.
...or THIS.
* Cadillac CTS V Coupe Race Car
I also saw something else in that video that could make GT5 a little more realistic, if you watch when the driver shifts, even though it is a race car, between gears it goes into neutral (when the clutch is active) I think that would be cool to have as an option, and maybe as a controller button option to be able to use the clutch. (I don't use my wheel often).

Sorry people, because I posted this car several times, but I liked is that the post of the trombone.![]()
I always wondered why PD didn't include the MC12 in any of it's forms. Having the licence, they should've take advantage of it like they did with Ferrari (well, almost).

My best bet is that Maserati first wanted their current & popular model in the game; The Gran Turismo is their big selling point, among others. But the MC12 is old news. At least for potential buyers....
It's the same for Lamborghini. Look at that lineup! Other than the Muira, it's a lineup designed to sell their current supercars. The Diablo is waaaaay much influential than the Gallardo, but you didn't see it. Nor did you see the Countach's made premium....GT5, for the most part, seems like manufacturer's attempt to show off their current lineup, (which is fine from a business standpoint), but gamers suffer.
I believe we'll see it in GT6, though.
Pontiac Firebird isn't in many game only Midnight Club, Driver, and Need For Speed
especially the 2002 Pontiac Firebird can't find that in any Plsystation games anymoreCallumfromleedsThree games I have, so it's a real bummer when I go back on GT and realise, IT NO EXIST!
