Still that doesn't change the fact that there's a lack of cars for certain categories. Hopefully PD improves in that regard. The whole competition between brands is what makes cars evolve, and we are yet to see that properly represented in the game. Also having in the game cars that are direct competitors in real life, makes themed races possible, be it online or offline, created by the player or PD themselves. Right now, a "Super Hot Hatch Cup" only has one car, the A45 AMG, while in real life, it would have atleast 6 more cars to compete with.
In GT6 they would never race together because there were 1200+ cars, with a ton of them being eligible to race against the Abarth 500 way before the 250 GTO. If the tecnology on the GTO is taken into account, and maybe even some lap times, the PP of those cars might get closer, and with the lack of cars in the game, it's not that far fetched they face eachother in a race. It's not the end of the world, but I'd rather see the Abarth face against real life competition, and not a full grid of random cars that happen to have a similar PP.
@o000o I'll tag you instead of quoting the whole post.
All in all, the thing about duplicates, or versions of the same car that barely change anything, is that it is a easy way to boost the car count, without actually boosting it (with more variety). And that's assuming they didn't model those cars from scratch, because if they did, it's even worse. As for the Supra itself, it doesn't bother me, I just hope they copy and pasted the 2019 model, and just changed the specs. I simply don't like the idea of some cars getting yearly updates with the addition of the same car with slight improvements, and completely skipping generational jumps for other cars/brands.
As for the FR Skylines and such, it would be nice to have, but not a must. It's all about choices, do I choose another R-33 Skyline or I'd rather have a 240RS or R390 GT1 Road Car? M3 and M3 CSL or M3 and M3 GTR? Zonda C12S and C12S 7.3 or one of those and a Zonda F or Cinque? It would be nice to have everything, but since it's impossible, I have to make choices.
