Nobody but PD and Kaz know anything in this regard and they aren't talking.

Speculation is thy friend.
The 2014 real cars have been revealed(check the SuperGT thread). Since we don't know what the liveries will be until I guess next year, I say we get the 2013 GT500 field for now then an update. GT300 run some GT3 cars so maybe we won't get any more than the ones we know about(SLS, Z4, GT-R) but, could get the BR-Z GT300, Prius and CR-Z GT300 to update the field.
I'd be really REALLY surprised if they give us the 2014 cars with liveries.

If we get new Super Gt cars, expect the New DTM cars as now The 3 new GT500 cars have been built to the same spec as DTM.

I for one would really appreciate an update to the entire modern field of cars in DTM and GT300/500. I think it's essential to remaining current with the game. Having the same as we have now with a couple of odd cars thrown in here and there will be disappointing.

My thoughts exactly...
I see it happening maaaaaaaaaybe (and sadly) as DLC content... but quite honestly I think they won't update...

Agreed.
Ideally the entire 2013 GT500 grid and 2012 or 13 DTM grid would be best, with a few modern GT300s as well, but realistically that's not going to happen. Hopefully we do at least get half a modern GT500 grid, but even there I'm not too optimistic. GT has this habit off not going the full distance to model/license a certain group of cars, instead choosing to sample a few cars from many different series and years.

My goal is entirely selfish. I just want an assortment of cars from a race series that are of the same year and specs so that you can have a series or spot race and all the cars can be competitive. Ideally I'd like it to be in the game at release because if it's DLC not everyone will adopt it, but I'll take it either way. It's just more fun if you can choose a car from each manufacturer or at least a few of them in the series, as opposed to one or two for a competitive race. I'd rather see that than an assortment of oddballs cars from different eras anyday.

I really want full ALMS/WEC ELMS Fielding.

My motivations are much the same, for online racing. Imagine PD model the 2013 GT500 Super GT, all 15 cars, putting every car on the same tire (for balance because the Dunlop and Yokohama tires are off the pace in real life, nobody would pick the slower Bandoh, Nakajima and Kondo cars online if those tires are modeled accurately, so de facto there would only be 12 cars to play with instead of 15) and making each SC430/GT-R and HSV identical to every other car of the same make (meaning none of this Impul GT-R outclassing the Kondo GT-R like in GT5, or Denso/Tom's SC430s outclassing the Team LeMans SC430, the latter wasn't even realistic, nevermind necessary). The cars would of course keep their driving and performance characteristics: the Lexus having the most straight line speed, the HSV the most downforce, the GT-R somewhere in between, but still, as in real life, all would be competitive (within a few tenths of each other) at most conventional race tracks. How easy would it be to run a Super GT race series then? Hell, you should even be able to set up an online room with randoms if you could get options like cars allowed to "Super GT 2013" and tuning restrictions to "parts restricted, tuning open" (or a PP restriction if PP will be fixed). Boom, a room where randoms can come in and race with nearly identical Super GT cars.
Repeat the same process when modeling DTM. GT3 is a little different because the cars aren't balanced out of the box in real life, but if they were all near equal in performance at any given PP, that would be excellent.
I hate to be pessimistic, but PD don't seem to have the same priorities as me. So in the end, "easy car balancing/already balanced cars of the same class/year" seems naught but a dream really.
