Are there any Japanese cars that were not included in GT4? I mean, aside from race cars, and the like, are there any cars that they left out from Japan, that anyone would specifically like to drive?

Also, what country of origin would you personally like to see more everyday cars from? or, just more from anywhere? Vote and Yap!

I voted for anywhere, but im going to defend japanese cars anyway. There are lots of japanese race cars that arent in the Game like the NSX GT1 Turbo, Nismo GTR LM, Mazda 767B, Toyota TS010 and tons of JGTC/Super GT cars.
There are Tuners like the Impul 500Z Turbo and loads of Tom's cars that are fast.
There are some great cars like the Toyota GT1, Mazda Eunos Cosmo 20B, Mitsubishi lancer evo FQ320/400, Nissan Pulsar GTI-R, Subaru Impreza Sti WR1, and loads of new cars coming out.
 
there are a few extremely famous japanese race cars that strangely arent in gran turismo. i mean... the games made in japan so you'd expect em to be in the game :P

Two I Japanese cars wanted (expected) come to mind:

Nissan Skyline GTS25t Type M
Nissan Pulsar GTi-R

BTW you spelt Australia wrong in the poll :)
 
There are enough cars in number, I just wish they would tone down the number of common Japanese cars and offer more cars from different eras. Doesn't matter from what region of the world.

Or when the car is awarded, provide an option to keep the car or just sell it then and there. My garage is full of cars I have never driven, and I probably will never drive.
 
Okay. This is going to be very much debated because I'm sure many people will be like "why do we need more Japanese cars?" Come on now. You know many of us American types (myself not really included) want more American influence. Many European types want their stuff represented. I'm not against this thread completely, it's just reviving sort of a stranglehold on GTPlanet. Here's why this doesn't matter much to me- it doesn't matter what nationality a car is, as long as it can perform and as long as it has a following which supports it, then that's all that matters. That's why with all the people talking about wanting to see more American cars or such, I tend to be neutral. I don't think there are too many Japanese cars. I also don't think there are too few Japanese cars. This is about racing to me, not nationality. Nationality has nothing to do with whether or not a car is good. I'm not a person saying that because I'm American, I only care about American autos and tracks. That is not me. I don't care if 40% of all cars in the game is Japanese. The game is Japanese-made, so Japanese cars rule the numbers. It's the biggest auto market in the world along with America and most of Europe.

If I was forced to choose one of the options, I'd say Australia. Holden, Ford, and FPV are in GT4, but I'd also want to see some authentic Australian V8 Supercars. It would be nice racing like i was Mark Skaife or Peter Brock, trying to deliver for Holden. Or, I can tell Holden to shove it and be a Ford driver like Craig Lowndes or somebody. To me, Australia has a small following. No real way to take advantage of Australian autos in competition. I think if PD wanted to offer both worlds, they'd come up with Australasia events. This means that races can take place with Japanese autos, Korean autos, and Australian autos. If they want to take it further, they can include Malaysian autos, Chinese autos, and even Indian autos. The GTWC of this Australasia deal would be the Australasia Championship, in which it's a battle between Asia's finest cars and Australia's finest.

All things considered, this is real pointless to me. I'd like to see more from many different makes. I don't care about only glamourous makes (like the hundered-thousands who want Ferrari and such). I don't care about too many of one car, even if a few are unnecessary. I surely don't care about nationality of cars either. I also don't like using something similar to "do we need more Japanese cars?" A car is a car is a car no matter where it's from. So if I had to choose, definitely Australia. Other than that, vote me for Anywhere.
 
I voted "Anywhere", but the trouble is that most people has specific models in mind when voting.

For example say I voted Europe

I would then say that "I want Rover in GT5" and assume PD will know I'm suggesting to add Rover's such as:


Rover SD1 Vitesse Twin Plenum

Rover 200 Turbo GSi/GTi Coupe

Rover 200 1.8 VVC Coupe

Rover 200vi/BRM 3dr

Rover 216 GTi TG 3dr

Rover Mini 1.3i Cooper (Twin Point version with John Cooper Classic Mini 90 bhp S Works Tuning Kit)
Link

Even a Rover Metro GTi MPi, etc. :drool:


But since I wasn't specific about which particular Rovers I wanted in GT5, I'm likely end up with Rover's like a 45 1.6 Classic 4dr, a Sweetwise or even a Rover 213 in GT5. :scared: :yuck:
 
Ascari KZ1
Seat Leon Cupra R
Volvo S60R
VR6 Jetta
E39 M5
E36 M3
Bugatti Veyron
Maserati Coupe/Quattroporte
Mercedes C55/S55 AMG


Also any Techart, Dinan, Gemballa, or Lamborghini.
 
Gemballa might be feasible, even considering that Gemballa Avalanche, or whatever it's called (View the Auto News forum). Only trouble is, would you want to have Ruf AND Gemballa in the same game? I know people are going to pee in their diapers about "f:censored: Ruf, Where's my Porsche, G:censored: damn it!?" The other side is, Rufs are nice autos. Gemballa are nice autos, even though I don't have too much knowledge of Gemballa.

In terms of specialty makes, the ulimate goal would be Koenigsegg. If you were to find it, it would be under the Swedish Makes (right?). They have some awesome machines. Played ToCA Race Driver 2, or looking forward to ToCA Race Driver 2006? Actually, Koenigsegg has at least one car in Pro Race Driver all the way to the forthcoming ToCA Race Driver 2006.

I think many of you American types will agree with me in this paragraph. I'd personally think some more rare American cars or some sweet Studabakers, Packards, de Sotos, or whatever would be a nice classic touch to GT5. One complained of American cars before WW2, so this would add a nice touch.

Possibilities are endless to impress as many car fans as possible. Hell, even if Antartica created cars, wouldn't you want to give it a spin?
 
i think it would be a great feeling to enter an online race and look across the grid and see a car you dont recognize at all. :D the more cars the better
 
There is definetly "enogh" cars in the game in numbers, they just need to be picked by some skilled entusiasts and not by a bunch of psycotic spoiled kids wanting "everything":yuck:
 
I voted for more American cars, but only because I feel like they really got the shaft. I only want things balanced. It just really disappoints me when Pontiac has no Firebirds, and then I go over and look in Nissan and they have an entire Skyline model where the only thing that makes it different from other Skylines is that it is a "Special color".

From a development standpoint, I guess it makes sense, because it's probably much easier to reskin an R34 in a new color than to render a whole new car. I also figure that maybe they left out some of the newer American cars because they would have been really unfair. Can you imagine a supercharged Grand Prix GTP or Cadillac Eldorado (Northstar) in the FF competitions?

I can't say much about Australia, since I don't know much about them.
 
John you must have SOME opinion on wich cars you would rather like to see ingame I mean.......

If you have no opinion at all we could give a Japanese only version for u and the rest gets something of what they wished for, no way you would be too happy with that. So it's not to be negative, it's just that their must be some cars you want ingame.....and just vote in the poll if they are from europe or something......
 
John, I actually had you in mind when I created, "anywhere, gimmie more".
It's really about the curiosity of where specifically people think cars could be added, while at the same time, have they left any Japanese cars out?
What places have the most cars people want to drive missing? Everybody likes a good car, but no matter where you go, people are going to prefer cars from somewhere specific, minus the very few, good or bad, its a fact of life.


Maybe in a act of God, PD will view this, and see a more generalized view of where people think the most good cars are missing from, who knows?
The "official car list" has gone so far out of whack, it's unreal. So why not take the slim-to-none chance PD will look, and know what/where the general consensus is that the shaft was given to?

I voted for NA and EU, but that doesnt mean I don't want the EVO 9, or other new Japanese cars, or Austrailian, it simply means EU and NA have the most cars I'd specifically like to see, by name.
 
There's something else to remember about the choice of cars in the game. Not everyone wants sports cars. Some want to see their daily drivers. I consider this as an unconditional love of cars and racing and tuning. In my maturation process, this has been my biggest asset. Basically, I don't care what kinds of cars are in the game. I'd like a balance of performing daily drivers and some sweet competition cars. Want me to grow a smile on your face With a certain car company or type of car in mind? One word- Radical. Never heard of Radical? Then homes, you in luck because you can read about them at: ( http://www.radicalextremesportscars.com/ ). I think it was a nice incentive to include Caterham in GT4 even though you can't race them against five others. The United Kingdom gets all the cool cars, and surely more Caterhams and Radicals would be nice. If there was a paint shop option, I'd surely want to paint up cars with my "team colors." For me, it would be two shades of deep blue and gold accents. Maybe even gold-colored wheels. Bring in Radical. Come on now. Who wouldn't want a car which looks the part of a Le Mans racer and is STREET LEGAL (in England or the United Kindom I hear. Set me straight if I'm wrong)? Many GT gamers would have unlimited possibilities with Radicals. In fact, some more European an Australian diversity would make things great.

I just hate the statement of "just anything." Hell, I even hot rodded a Honda Odyssey, Toyota Tacoma X-Runner, and maybe even a Mini Cooper. I prefer being diversified rather than just be about only one type of car, one nationality of car, or one specification of car. I think it's more fun to try out different things. To me, it's been a love of tuning and performance. If I can't have that, I'm not doing GT. It's just the same thing in which people say that cars like the Mazda Demio, Mini Cooper, Honda Beat, and all are in GT for one reason- to imagine racing a much better car. Racing different autos offer unique challenges because not all cars are alike. Now, things can just be about Viper One-Make races and races where 300hp is the minimum. Think about it. If you just make things all about pure sports cars and legendary marques other than compacts and daily drivers, then I think it gets boring. To me, I'd like diversity in terms of the least powerful being either 1886 Daimler, and most powerful to... sky's the limit. This is even if you include the Porsche 917 (granted Porsche was included), which was WELL over 1,000hp.

I've still believed that racing only the sports cars was pretty boring. There wasn't too much diversity in GT1, so faster cars were the norm. But I still believe Europe and Australia can use a little GT love. Is that asking too much, player? Still, I couldn't care less about nationality in GT games. Performance matters more than nationality. This ranges from a Saleen S7 Turbo in California to a Laraki Fulgara in Morrocco(spelling?). That's why I'm not biased on this issue.
 
Finally, still nice to see what kinda cars you like.

Radical....hmm....at first it looks like toys but the only thing I'm wondering since they're all plastic and stuff that they're EXTREMELY light right? Seeing you love performance I think I can conclude already that these radical cars are fast fast things:P

Nice, would be a nice addition:tup:
 
I voted for all, I don't care, as long as there are cars that I have never seen in there. I would like to see more everyday cars tossed in there, because hey it's about discovering, cars that you see everyday and wouldn't think about driving, but after giving it a go in the game, you change your mind. Hey life is full of surprises, give me as many opportunities to experience one.

GT should begin to seperate cars by eras as well, I would love to drive around the Nurb in an pre 60's T-Bird on white sidewalls. Just give me more options you know, can never have too many choices. I'm all for having over 1,000 cars.
 
I for one would like many more American cars! I've even created a list of almost 600 American cars (and trucks) that I think would be cool to have in the game. Of course, I wouldn't mind cars from other countries as well.
