Someone please name me another car sim with even 25% of the amount of cars GT has.
I'll wait.
Take the 500+ standards away and GT is just like Forza. If I wanted a car game full of the most expensive cars ever made, I wouldn't be playing GT.

This. A huge aspect of GT's appeal for many people that have been following the series for a long time is the fact that it offers you the chance to drive rare, obscure and even ordinary cars that are in no other game. As SuzukaStar says, take that away and it loses one of it's USPs.

So what now?Okay. No standard cars for PS4. Nuff said.
And "he" better not tell me otherwise.

Think about this for a second: What is there to be upset about? Nobody knows what the standards will look like in GT7 apart from PD, and there's a good chance that the models will be cleaned up to look presentable to the eyes. Why get upset over standards being in GT7 when we haven't even SEEN them yet? I'm quite sure that Kaz is WELL aware that the current standards need touching up, especially since this will be released on a next-gen console. It's one of the most talked about subjects of GT besides sounds and DLC content.
Just give it some time before we see them, and hey, I'll eat my words if they still look like crap for GT7.
Don't create expectations my friend. PD proved over the years they can't live up to the players requests
You're focusing on numbers like so many others. With a good, balanced roster of premium quality cars 400 would be more than enough for anybody. Some people would even argue the Forza 5 car list is better than GT6 premium list (Not me before you ask, I haven't played it) because the selection is simply better, even though there are less.
People need to stop focusing on the numbers, 800 standards here, 500 standards there, and focus on the quality of the car list itself. Look at the current premium list, see where you think there are gaps and that is what PD need to focus most of their effort on, the rest should be focused on what you believe are the must-not-lose standards.
Then we might end up with a great list of 600 cars all in premium quality rather than a list of 1500 cars full of poor quality, mediocre and duplicate cars barely anyone drives.

If they take away my Mitsubishi Mirage Cyborg ZR '97 or any of the other cars I enjoy that nobody else uses, I'm done.

You do make a good point. We don't know what they look like yet.
However, I don't have much faith that ALL standard cars will be of "semi-premium" quality. We waited 3 years for GT6, and while we do have some decent looking standard cars, we are still stuck with some horribly pixelated ones and it makes the game seem like an unfinished mess. Not to mention, PD will also have to focus on adding actual NEW cars, not just touching up standard cars/turing standard cars into premiums. I don't how they're going to pull it off and I'm definitely sick of buying GT games that are a work in progress.

If standards must stay, then I expect to see all of the duplicates removed. I would prefer standards be at least be on the level of semi-premiums or the lower quality premium vehicles. I would much prefer to see all of the good standard vehicles (Such as the RUFs, Jaguar, XJ220, etc.) be made into premiums like how the Diablo was from GT5 - GT6.

Oh, come on
Did they tell you that all of the cars in GT5 or GT6 were immaculately detailed, or did they inform you, before you purchased the game, that there was a discrepancy in car rendering quality?

They think it's okay to not start from scratch, and instead keep the quantity on a new console.Oh, come on

You're sounding quite ridiculous. They advertised a product with old renders, you bought the product, they did so again, you bought the product. If you thought you were being 'slapped about like a fool' then why did you buy the product, twice?

Fair enough, I wasn't aware of that. I just thought that they'd removed the 'standard' moniker.
Fair. The fact remains however, that they didn't lie to you for GT5, and they aren't lying to you about GT7.

Well they did as we know, what I meant was they weren't 100% clear about it. They strongly suggested that there would be no functional differences between them, adding only that not all cars would have an interior. They never outright said "However a lot of the cars will still be visually lacking on the exterior, despite not being called standard anymore".

My daily driver isn't something I want to have running around a race track, that's why it's a daily driver that gets me from point A to B. The cars I want to drive are cars that aren't daily drivers or at least wouldn't be your normal daily driver, there are cars that could be daily drivers and track cars. Audi RS6 for example and those make sense because they're multi purpose. But if my Nissan Sentra ended up in the game...I don't think I'd be all that excited.

To be frank, Forza 1 had 231 cars, around 20% of what GT6 has (but around 25% of what GT5 has).
I remember a pic i took in gt5 with a car flipped over and it happened the same as this. i think it's the dome.

And we're going to be seeing that in GT7 as well...
