That’s the one I had in mind mainly, but I wouldn’t mind an S60 either (would be great Gr 4 car too I bet)

Why they got rid of this (which they had in all their previous games) is beyond me!
In the case of the Metacritic User Score, GT7 had a mark around 7.8 with (approx) 3500 User Scores a few weeks post release. Then we had the economy controversy with some 7000 User Scores added in little over a week. In the intervening 8 months only 500 User Scores have been added despite millions in additional sales.You trust IGN ?
Metacritic ? look at the user review.
I'd prefer reading user reviews and old fans of the game than journalists.
By contrast Amazon has a moderated User Score system and saw a dip to 2.5/5 when the economy issue was at it's peak. In the intervening months many new User Scores have been added with a steady increase to 4.5/5. I feel these points have been made numerous times.
As for outlet reviews, each needs to be taken on their own merits. IGN's GT7 review was done by a gearhead from their Australian office. He knows his stuff, just like Martin Robinson from Eurogamer. Being an old-timer GT fan doesn't make your opinion anymore worthwhile. I go back well before the GT era and people aren't shy in slating me when I state GT7 is my favourite edition.
Back on topic.
After a good month with plenty of cool roadcars, I feel those wanting race models are due some love. Not convinced we'll get anything particularly new. But I'd like to see the Minolta Toyota, Peugeot 905, Toyota GT-ONE, Merc 190E2. Then again, maybe we'll get some all new racecar no one was expecting. Not sure if anything fits that descroption on the Datamine. Although that isn't 100% definitive in predicting what will come.

An objectively well made game can still be badly received by the community (in the form of review bombs or whatnot). My response was to the claim that GT7 is well received by players outside of these forums. Metacritic user score was the easiest way to illustrate my point. A moderated Amazon review score can be just as misleading when they're known to delete what they consider to be "fake" reviews (and they coincidentally almost always just happen to be 1* reviews). My experience with Amazon is that products are always overrated compared to sites that don't directly impact sales.
Another example would be Last of Us Part 2. An objectively amazing game that was not well received by the community for its storytelling decisions (rightly or wrongly is up for debate).
As for January, I'm expecting three new races that pay 25K credits for 15-20 minutes of gameplay, two of which will bug out and not record completion. Maybe even on the new Nurburgring layouts PD's been holding on to.

A mild dissapointment for most. A few will rave because a pet car was added or a feature was fixed/added.
Free updates are worth the price.
Tracks, classic tracks are well overdue and the lack of single player events is inexcusable. Fix that first.

I know not a lot of people liked this track but I really liked the loop around that lake in Spain from GT6, Circuit of Seirra or something like that, I really liked driving the Ferrari GTO around it, what a wonderful engine and exhaust sound.
It would be awesome if they could bring this track, but maybe it is the wrong season, it seems more like a summer track to drive around with the convertible top down.

Given November was a new track and December brought nothing, January seems to be due for probably layout updates. Given the rumors of a Nurburgring layout addition, I would like to think maybe the LFA would come with that as well to tie in the Nurburgring edition.
Wishful thinking?

Gran Turismo won Best Sports Game (voted by the community) this year on the official Playstation blog, beating games with massive fanbase (but crappy games) such as FIFA and NBA 2k, and also bronze for best Multiplayer experience.An objectively well made game can still be badly received by the community (in the form of review bombs or whatnot).

Last of Us 2, reviewbombed on Metacritic because of the story, won the award for.. Best Story, along with few other awards.
Please realize Metacritic is just full of salty teenagers, TLoU2 was purely downvoted because of transphobic idiots and people who didn't like a particular part of the story. GT7 was purely downvoted because of microtransactions.
Both games sold really well and now in December people still appreciate the game.
So yeah, anyone stating they take Metacritic over industry reviewers are out of their mind lol. GT7 is definitely not badly received outside of this community.

And it’d nice to drive normal road cars & classic cars on actual road like circuits, as many of these cars are not that enjoyable on wide GP tracks imo

Arcade Modes:
There will be a few restrictions to using rental cars, such as:
To reflect this updated change, “Select from Garage” in the “Rivals Selection” tab in Custom Races has been renamed to “Select Individually”, with two options “Change Car (Garage)” and “Change Car (Rental)”.
2. Cars that were restricted to one-make only in Custom Races (such as electric vehicles) can now be used in “Select Individually” > “Change Car (Garage)” or “Change Car (Rental)”.
Car Collecting:
1. Brand invitations in Brand Central have been removed, allowing players to freely buy any car as they wish on demand. As a result, brand invitations have been also been removed from roulette tickets.
2. The garage limit has been increased from 1,000 cars to an almost unlimited number of cars.
3. Players are now entitled to a one-time free acquisition of new cars from updates (starting with this update). Any succeeding times will require them to be purchased.
Economy:
1. Credits payouts for all race events in World Circuits have been increased, with the first half being increased by 100%, and the latter half increased further by 500% more than before.
2. Rewards from Arcade and Custom Races have been increased by 500%, although you can only earn them through driving cars from your Garage.
3. Roulette tickets are less likely to be rigged to give the least impressive prizes, with a more unpredictable outcome.
Tuning/Customization:
1. Tuning parts such as the following are now sold on the Extreme category (each costing Cr. 50,000), such as:
2. A new category has been introduced in the Tuning Parts Shop: “Engine Swap”. Players can access this when their Collector Level is at least 30. Take note all cars are eligible for engine swaps. Swapping an engine will remove all previously-installed parts on the car’s original engine, and will directly affect the car’s performance.
3. In GT Auto, a new option has been added to the Livery Editor: “Change Base Color”. This option will allow you to change between car-specific default colors and/or liveries.
Sport Mode:
1. Bugatti can now compete in the Manufacturers Cup.
- All the cars in the game are now added and implemented as rental cars in the Arcade Modes, such as Arcade Race, Time Trlal, Drift Trial and Custom Races, as well as 2-Player Battle and offline mode. Any new cars that arrive via DLC from updates will immediately be added as rental cars as well.
There will be a few restrictions to using rental cars, such as:
- They cannot be driven outside of the Arcade Modes unless you buy them in the main career mode.
- They also cannot be customized and/or upgraded in any way, and only car-specific default colors and livery variations can be used.
- Tuning on rental cars will only be limited to the car’s default setup, with whatever parameters are available. However, players are free to choose any tire compound they like.
- Credits and Daily Workout progress will not be earned driving a rental car.

A new home page “location” featuring Kaz as a loan shark. Sure he’ll lend you 100,000cr, but you better pay it back within a week or he’s stealing your cars then putting you in to negative cr balance, which you’ll have to pay for with mtx else the game can’t be played

We'll all start up our PlayStations, pick a car and track, then go fast, then go slow and turn a few times, then go fast again, and finally stop.

February update will undoubtedly be one of the big ones due to VR2, so wouldn't be surprised if this was just a few cars as usual (hopefully 4 or 5 again), minor QoL and not much else. Then in February we get the VR2 update on Feb 23, which also doubles as the 1st anniversary update, and we get like Grand Valley and Apricot Hill.

As far as events go we'll probably get a race event where you do 2 Laps of the Nurburgring and get paid 20.000 Credits for it.
Or a Gr.1 30 minute race paying you less than half a million even with the CRB.
Another 3-5 cars, probably a VGT (Skoda was it?) between these.
More engines swaps that we don't get warned about in the patch-notes for whatever reason (not like you'll get them in your lifetime anyway).
More scapes.
Features like the Speed - Drag Race - Acceleration tests in the SSRX will still not come. Nor Championships... Or Endurance races... Or another set of actual Missions.
