Your logic is thoroughly flawed and backwards. The gamespot guy put it best when he said basically "remember this is a gt game so ypu just bash your way to the front" and then detais how he couldn't win a corvette challenge until he basheed his way to the lead.
If anything no damage off the bat reinforces and creates bad habbits not careful driving.

A pity that the only real important aspect of damage isn't actually in the game yet.
At least those "cosmetic damage" lovers can Burnout their way around, but I'm sure they'll be complaining about the damage that is available since it isn't as destructive as Burnout.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, the effort PD put into cosmetic damage would have been far better served elsewhere. I'll trade cosmetic damage for custom wheels on standard cars, or for split screen replays, or actual longer replays, or many of the cars missed out (Focus ST but no RS etc.).

I swear I'll form a militia group bent on ridding the world of the word soon, and if anybody asks why I did it, you tell them the blood is on GT's hands...

Heres a few pictures of a damaged standard car. It didn't take much to get it like this, literally tapped the AI a few times doing 5mph more than they were. None of the damage was intentional - the brakes on the TVR aren't the best 
I don't think it looks too bad for a standard car either. Please excuse the bad photography skills though, they looked better in game
They don't seem very sharp out of game
And please note, I didn't spend time trying to make the standard cars look good, or bad. I just chose a couple of parts of the replay which looked nice, moved the camera a little, and took a pic. Make of them as you wish.

Okay... Where's the damage? Can't see any
Edit: I think I see some in the last pic

I've removed the first two pictures, but in the 3rd (now 1st) picture, there is quite clearly damage
The front corner is bent and there is a scuff on the door.I'm not saying it looks good or whatever. I'm just throwing a few pictures out there for people to make there own mind up 👍

Well as far as I am concerned, the full damage model is unlocked straight away. I'm only level 7.
I will do an experiment now, I will take my premium car and see how much damage I can get. That will surely finalise whether it depends on level or not.
Back in 5 minutes
If yamauchi himself says: Damage will appear later you don't believe him?however do what you have to do:idea:

Wow, sorry, I didn't realise that KY give clear details about features in Gran Turismo...
Later on could mean later in a patch, later on in your driver level, later on in the harder race classes... That's what I am trying to do - figure out what "later" means.
Well, I have just spent 9 minutes bashing my Vitz into walls on Tsukuba at 80+ mph. And all I have been able to do is knock the front and rear bumper loose, with a bit of dirt on the front bumper and a bit of denting in the bonnet. Basically, hardly any damage considering.
This was in beginner events. I am now going to do the same in an Amateur event and see if it is class related, rather than level. I will then do the same experiment in Arcade mode.
Back soon

last time i checked tires aren't mechanical..
yeah, not really....

Maybe the full damage is indeed present from the start, but the "damage multiplier is set to, say -x20, so theoretically, you could wreck the car as much as someone on the 40th level, but it would take you considerable amount of time and crashes to achieve it.(the guy from that most extreme damage video so far, said you don't have to be lvl40 to destroy the car like that, but who knows how much time he spent crashing the car to get that "look")
Anyhow, I'm not happy with this game designer decision, and I would rather have an option to make it as real as it can be from the start, for me personally...

After a further 7 minutes, I got pretty much identical damage to my first attempt. Considering it is supposed to be realtime damage, regardless of what corner hits the wall first, the bumper fell off on the same side both times. On the front and rear...
It looks as if it isn't as realtime as they make out.
I guess that either confirms that the damage isn't very good, or we do indeed unlock it as our level progresses. If somebody who is higher than level 7 - preferably over 20 - could crash the same car - I would be able to judge whether the damage does increase with level. It is the premium Toyota Vitz.

haha told you... You have to progress dude If you want damage like this

I'm happy for the aesthetics to remain as they are, the thing I really hope they improve with a patch is the performance damage and I can't see why they can't. Surely they can create a compromise that doesn't upset the manufacturers and gives the game what it needs, that is add a race loosing performance disadvantage for poor driving or better said "take the bumper car racing out of GT5".
I would be happy if they had a standard set of suspension damage levels applied evenly to all cars so that depending on how hard you hit in combination with what part of the car makes contact the damage you would suffer would range from minor suspension geometry changes that affect handling and tyre wear up to severe suspension geometry changes that would make driving the car very difficult. This would not be too hard to add, surely it wouldn't upset the manufacturers and it would force drivers to race clean if they wish to win. Obviously if more realistic performance damage was included the AI would need some adjustment so that winning a race is achievable with good clean driving.

hmm you know
YOu are not the first one with this Idea BUT what's with the people with Ps 3 but without internet? wouldn't be fair right?
