I'm starting to believe that Kaz just has a giant spreadsheet with all cars in existence, he rolls a dice and gives his team the result: "Today we're making Renault Kangoo!". At least it seems more reasonable to me than the theory that brand as mighty as Polyphony Digital is unable to license anything else. Not when developers as puny as Zero Games Studios (has anyone heard of Hot Lap Racing?) could get, for example, Renault 5 Turbo 3E and Peugeot 9X8 
Anyway, with all these "unusual" cars being added, it'd be a really nice idea to also come with some new missions (for the first time since 2022) to make a clever use of them.

You based it nothing which justifies saying that 99,9% of GT7 players are happy with cars like the Unimog and Kangoo because they are casual players. One cannot say that.
You even threw 1980s hot hatches into the same mix, as if there’s some sort of similarity between the Kangoo and the 205 GTi or Civic Si. The latter two are perfectly aligned with what Gran Turismo always stood for, whereas something like the Unimog isn’t.

Oddities were in the franchise from the start. Gran Turismo had the Honda Accord wagon and the Mazda Demio. Two cars way off the chart of the V10s, V8s and turbocharged sporting cars in the game.
Gran Turismo 2 went more off the rails with kei cars galore. The Subaru Forester and Renault Espace F1 were the other outliers.

A little late to the discussion, but I'm super happy to see the Kangoo. Always been a big fan, and it's a very nice surprise to see it in the game! I'm all for the most mundane cars being in the game. GT imo shines much more in the Sunday and Clubman cups than it does in those super high-speed-physics-breaking Vision GT things (though those are interesting from a design perspective!)
I've said this is another topic but I very much enjoy more regular cars, and I do think that current GTs have focused way too much on top-spec, top-tier models. Feels like in GT2 they tossed every Honda from the showroom in the game, now it's only the fancy Type-R stuff. I understand it's because of the modelling process and it's not feasible at all to make base trims etc., but whenever I see a car like the Kangoo or the 205, it makes me super happy <3

As mentioned earlier in the thread, the Kangoo is very popular in Japan, so a reason for its inclusion.

That’s not how GT7 makes the cars. You cannot compare the assets in those games with GT7. They need the actual car, for several hours, with interior and exterior laser scanning, sound design, not just pictures or body drawings. These aren’t things you can make at home like in iRacing.I'm starting to believe that Kaz just has a giant spreadsheet with all cars in existence, he rolls a dice and gives his team the result: "Today we're making Renault Kangoo!".

You can already see with some more recent cars that they are cutting corners though - I can’t remember which car but they didn’t do the underside of the car.

They aren't different in-and-of itself. It's how they are coming to the game that is different.
If GT4 got its roster constructed three cars at a time, and you had the Nike One, one of the 1800s cars, the Chrysler Prowler and the Motor Triathlon Car in consectutive updates, people would have complained back then too.
These cars are perfectly fine to be in the game, but they aren't strong enough to carry an update. Especially recently, when updates tend to not have much else other than the car content in them.

Believe it or not, but if I had the choice I would always choose that Renault over that Lamborghini

Maybe if they would make a Gr1 variant of the lambo V12 VGT (which would genuinely be awesome personally) we wouldn't have this problem, but no, I'd much rather more normal cars at this rate

Yes that's my logic. If you slot a niche car in at the start of the game, the people who don't like it just don't notice it - nobody complained about the Jeep, for instance. Whereas if you put one in a 3-car update, that's a whole 1/3 of the update that people can get mad about because it isn't a <insert desired car type here>. 3 cars is already hard enough to placate everyone with without consistently going ultra-niche with one of them.

The Kangoo helps diversify the 'work car' offerings in the game with the inclusion of European make-derived models. I'm nostalgic for panel vans like an Opel Combo C Arizona as I had a relative who owned one to facilitate wheelchair use.
The Vantage is a much needed update for the AM brand, but I wonder why they've not continued to include the V12 models. GT6 debuted the previous generation's V12 model and never got remastered for the current builds of GT. Is it like why the Audi TTS models are preferred over the TTRS?
And the car in the back is unmistakably a modern Mazda. But why would it be the CX-30? I place my bets on a JDM Axela, the final model before being renamed to a Mazda3.
