That list you posted consists of cars that I've driven in games for I don't know how many times, and maybe some new ones. It's hard to become enthousiastic about cars I can drive in literally EVERY single racing game...
That's what I'm trying to say. For example, people keep talking about Koenigsegg. I've driven those cars in Forza, Shift 2, Grid 2, Forza Horizon, Test Drive Unlimited 2... Is it so strange that I don't care about it that much anymore? A lot of these cars get overused very easily, especially since, sorry, modern hypercars are already very close to each other in terms of driving characteristics and speed...

Koenigsegg are a noticable omission from GT.
We'd probably complain if they weren't in GT6 though, wouldn't we?

That's your opinion, but you state it as fact. I don't mind it being excluded, but you say it like I should.
Again, who are we? One of the biggest mistakes that is constantly repeated here is stating opinions as facts and then, worse yet, assuming that everybody thinks the same. Yes, it misses some hypercars. Do I care? No, no and if it wasn't clear, no. Notice the use of the word I instead of we here.

You stated yourself that certain cars feature in nearly every racing game - so actually it is your opinion.

You misunderstood my point; to clarify, if a car you actually did care about was removed from the car list, would you not complain?

One of the greats, one of the dual-purpose 250 GTs that Ferrari built that were used on both the road and in racing, though perhaps it's ultimate purpose was more geared for the latter.
It was the successor to the 250 GT Tour de France but much improved with a 20 mm shorter wheelbase (hence the name) and a stiffer chassis, which made the car lighter, nimbler and faster than the Tour de France. The SWB was also one of the first Ferraris ever to feature telescopic shocks and disc brakes. It was the ultimate 250 GT (save for only the GTO which was quite far removed from the family and not really a true 250 GT).

Interesting, so we get to drive this car in GT6 ? Can't wait to try this along with the R8 Gordini. I don't know much about historical cars like these but i'm trying to learn. Props to you and @gran Prix for the knowledge

On the last point, agreed. My bad, must have misunderstood. About certain cars (in this case, Koenigsegg) appearing in almost every racing game; that is not my opionion, that actually is a fact. Try and name me a racing game produced in the last three years that didn't feature Koenigsegg (and no, F1 games and the like aren't valid. I'm talking about even mildly comparable racing games here). Apart from maybe a couple of very niche PC sims, I guess not that much...

It's good that PD is striving to give us cars that no one has...
But the reason for why PD is not including the obvious supercars (Agera, LaFerrari, P1) may be due to others games fighting to have them... Or the cost of having them?!?
Does anyone know?
Could it be negociations between companies to keep PD from leading the game chart? Is that a plausible conspiracy theory against PD?
Why else would PD not include those?

If the Ferrari California in GT5P and the McLaren MP4-12C in GT5 are any indication, it's best to wait with the modelling of a car until it's represented accurately in the game. With those two that I mentioned, they were included very early, but were lacking the true characteristics of the car.
I don't know, if it's just me, but I'd rather have a car that drives like the real thing in the game, not only looks like it. That part is sort of a given anyway.

Im glad the 250 gets so much love here
Now PD needs to give us the 250 breadvan from Automobili Serenissma to race against the 250 GTO.

Exactly, so Koenigsegg is noticeably absent from GT!
Just remember the days of GT1, GT2, GT3 and GT4 prior to GT on the current generation consoles- no road-going McLarens, no Ferraris, no Bugattis, no Lamborghinis, no Maseratis etc. So, PD have come quite a long way in the last decade or so. Imagine if these manufacturers were still absent from GT

Miss those days!
About that Bugatti Veyron we saw in the trailer.
We all know that PD has a car labeled the Bugatti Veyron EB16.4 2013. We also know that a Bugatti Veyron EB16.4 2009 is also on that car list. Is it a possibility that both cars are premium and accurately modeled (as opposed to what we originally thought, that PD can't recognize their own cars that spent months modeling).
I am starting to think more premiums are hidden among the cars within that GT6 car list that Polyphony provided. Remember that hyper detailed 1967 Toyota 2000GT that we saw in the "Start your engines" trailer? Notice how it was not at the top of the list with the "new for GT6" cars. I think the GT5 model of that car was completely replaced by a premium model.
My reasoning behind this is that I have noticed there is only one Jaguar XJR-9 (which in GT5 had both a standard and premium model and counted as two separate cars), one Acura NSX 1991, one Chevrolet Camaro Z/29 1969, and on and on. I think that some standards have been outright dropped from the game. This could explain why that 2000GT is "missing" from the car list.
Maybe this is a good thing. If the customization in GT6 is good enough, RM's may no longer be necessary since we will b able to install roll cages, carbon fiber body panels, additional foglights, a larger range of spoilers, diffusers, and front splitters, wider fenders, wider tyres, deeper front intakes, rear oil coolers, race style fuel cells and receptacles, underbody trays, stripped dashes, racing seats, stripped interiors, fire systems, data packs and et cetera.

Abarth 500 is a cute looking car, isn't it đź‘Ť It will be fun to blast that little car around on GT6.I'm really happy to see the Abarth 500 and Grande Punto, never expected to see those two cars get added. I'm also happy with the supercars. Overall, I love the car list and think PD has done a fantastic job of getting different types of cars.

The Abarth 500 doesn't want to be cute... He wants to be a Lambo

Yeah, bloody unnecessary duplicates will dominate the GT's car count yet again. May be they'll stop doing that on GT7 lol.

Only a problem if 3 passengers, which is truly funny
considering its design (think any 84 to 2012 Camaro with 4 occupants none are children ) are in the car...
