The way this particular car is represented (visuals & custimization, handling) in game, I'd prefer they just remove it.

Not too bad visually (PD, what happened to that 97 spoiler?), but still not what it should be.

Not too terrible from a distance, but still to edgy and angular.

For laughs.

Oh believe me, it WILL get worse
As i found not one, not two, but THREE potential cars that give the alto works a run for its money.(in GT6 this time)
Now lets see what these cars are.(as much as i would hate to)
1.Renault Megane 2.0 Coupe
You know how the "Infamous Suzuki" has a hexagonal grill? well, atleast they actually BOTHERED to make it look good. Here, they didn't bother, and the grill, obviously isn't its only issue. I still can't believe i wanted to put a picture of that in the french car photos thread.

2.Lotus Carlton
Is there even any reason for this to be in Gran Turismo? as i would miss it less than the weird toyota thing from GT4, and i even forgot about that toyota. As for the textures, it mostly looks like something that got drawn on with grafitti, i can't even look at it for more than 5 seconds!

And finally... the 3rd car... quite possibly the worst one
3.Toyota CELLICA GT-FOUR Rally Car from 1995
Now, some might say that it doesn't count because it has decals, but who said the worst standard ever can't have decals, and if that person did, then what are the thingss on the side of the Alto Works, huh?
I personally think that this thing right here looks like a car that, before going to rally, was used to see for how long a person could handle in a giant forest/desert full of dangerous animals, and it isn't only because one of its defense mechanisms was to be ugly. So ugly infact, that i only made two screenshots of it instead of three!

These cars are good but these textures are terrible: These cars mantain these PS2 textures...
 
they started to polish up standard cars in GT6, hopefully they'll do that with all when GT7 comes out. But i really don't want to loose the standard cars, there are simply too much great cars in the list.

a car which really needs an upgrade is the Tommy Kaira ZZ-II!
I have a rough guess on why you want to see the ZZ-II upgraded...
I think its alot like the reason Lister_Storm wants to see the Lister Storm get updated as well.

I hope that PD can convert at least 10 standard cars to premium each month. I also don't want to lose the standard cars because they are too great to be removed.

And what happened to Gillet Vertigo Race Car'04? Is it still the same as GT5?
 
Yes, a few new premium updated cars from update to update would be great! Though it will take very long to convert them all :D

ehm yep :D. Yes i really love the ZZ-II, it's one of my favourite cars in the whole game. But there are lots of other standard cars i don't want to loose. The Lister Storm is also one of them together with lots of other cars.

i don't know exactly which of the cars are polished up already but some examples:

Jaguar XJ220, TVR Speed 12, ZZ-II, Lister Storm, Fiat Coupe, SL65 AMG, Pagani Zonda + race Car, Old Fiat Panda, Corvette C5 race car and yes...many many more :)

The GT-Series has a long history already, and also these old cars. And every of these cars has its own fans :)

How do you know?
 
Well, anything can look bad if its zoomed it microscopically,
I mean, look at the Brera and zoom in on its Alfa Romeo badge, and its a PREMIUM car.
But, it looks pretty disgusting zoomed out as well - looking at it closely only further emphasizes that the model is :censored:and the person who decided to put it into GT6 should be fired.

Those aren't "microscopically" zoomed in pictures though! :D You definitely don't need a microscope to see the ragged pixels on these standard cars.

I found more pixel vomit for people to cry over:

:ill: Besides the buzz-saw edges I can't get over how these standard car rely on 'drawn' lines to convey the gaps between body panels. The texture is so poor the lines are almost invisible they're so fuzzy. I still cannot truly believe these kinds of textures will be in GT7 in 2016 or whenever GT7 finally comes out. There is just no way!
 
Have you guy seen toe livery on Nissan GT-R LM Concept car? It's livery looks like it was coloured by a 5 year old. Colors are gradiented awfully

TS030?

Even premium quality cars have it's limits too, try zooming an high-quality textured premium car. ;)
 
I got used to standard cars , I dont have a problem with textures/quality

What bothers me is dimensions and physics. Let me explain..

Dimensions : Look at some cars that are both Standard and premiums..The premium is always bigger.Go to Photo Location thing and put them side by side ,you will see what I mean.

Physics : Ok dont worry, handling is the same ( I thing ) , I am not chasing phantoms.. BUT !!
The
crash test I did back in GT5 is still here.. Take a premium Skyline ,get top speed and crash to a wall.Then take a standard skyline..do the same.. se the results :/ :/ . I used to do it with the Premium/Standard miatas too but since they have premium looks now it doesnt apply. How does that effect the overall physics ? I dont know.. but it bothers me :D

I will upload some pics of Premium/Standard M5 ,Skylines,SLR,Minis,Mustangs
