So, five cars I don't want in GT6... I see a lot of X1's and Tank Cars, and seriously I don't get it. I mean, if we can only say five cars we REALLY don't want in GT6, this would be my list:
Edit: Actually, forget what I just said. All of those would be the ultimate trolling cars. Imagine going full throttle down Döttinger Höhe in your Lamborghini Miurcillardodor (?) and suddently being overtaken by a high-heeled shoe
X2010/X2011
Daihatsu Midget
Old Skylines
Priuses
iMIEV
I had respect for you, which you earned on the racetrack, but... If you want to get rid of the Ken Mari Skyline GT-R, you're going to have to go through 90% of the drifting community.
But, Toronado makes a good point. Why isn't there a premium NB Miata? I love those things. Especially when I'm not losing to one at an autocross event.
And, finally, why does this thread still exist? Every day, someone creates an annoying argument; fact is, we'll never agree. Let's just not get rid of cars.
The one thing I think we can agree on: I think this game needs more Aston Martin. I think this game needs more Holden. I think this game needs more Aussie Ford. I think this game needs more Opel (especially a premium Carlton) and this game needs more 90s Lexus premiums. Summarized, we need more. Not complaints about having more. Why choose to have less of a good thing?
Okay Simon, as soon as I get this pointless and useless and annoying thread closed, I'll stop posting here.
Imagine, though, if there were nice cars in the game. Wouldn't it be awesome? Oh, yeah, most of the nicest cars in the game are standards, with lots of dupes.
Dupes aren't an enemy. Stop pretending to dislike a car, because there are a lot of them. This isn't the "Real Rare Car Collection Game." This is the "Real Driving Simulator." Forgive me, or not, BUT I refuse to allow you to try to get rid of a car, because it's common, either in real life, or in the game.
A true gentleman let's the lady out of the door, first. It's okay to leave, Simon. Go take your frustrations out on some Minecraft nincompoop. Until then, my opinion is even more valid than yours, which, on larger scale, is horribly out of place in the modern world, where every car is a copy of the other. You want to complain about dupes? Go outside, for once, and notice that every car you see is a Honda Civic. Then, while you're outside, realize that there are more Civics on any other racetrack, than there are Corvettes, Vipers, and Paganis. But, yet, you complain about the realism of a game... A realistic game would have you stuck in one car, for your entire... Year, season, or maybe even a decade. Hypocrisy leads to nothing.
You say that you want more regional representation, but, you say that you want to get rid of cars? Why? Why bother?
I'll show you something... In my UCD, right now, 2 cars are Italian (and one is a 1972 FIAT 500), a British Lotus Elise, two French cars (which are both good fun to drive), and two American cars (and one is a Dodge Ram).
Why have those cars in the game? Why not? Why not have any car in the game? Why? What possible reason, except some pedantic, and ridiculous suggestionable theory about regional representation, by destroying the game?
How can you possibly want to destroy the choice we have? Do you know how many cars you're planning to just "delete?" Will you not get bored, when they decide... Not to put new cars in, and just focus on taking cars out?
Why? Why does it matter, if we have a choice as to whether or not we drive those cars? We can choose not to drive the Priuses, or we can choose to drive them as we choose. I like my Prius TC. I like all of the TCs. I like the Daihatsu Midget. At least it knows what it's doing, as you don't seem to.
You don't seem to realize that, in essence, you're taking away from GT5's longevity. Without cars which are different, or unique, why would you come back to this?
Ever played a Need For Speed game, where every car feels the same? You want to have just one car? Delete the rest? No! Never! I'll take my 2000+ cars, I'm hoping to see, and I'll be happy.
You seem to be needlessly unhappy. Why? ...maybe because you don't value GT5's incredible roster of cars, completely. Maybe you just rant, without sitting down, and driving every car in the game, on every track, in a new way, everytime.
Until you're faster than I am, in every single car in GT5, you're just selling off on a good thing. Seriously, go on, and drive every car. Don't post here, until you have... You're yet to realize the reason why GT5 has so many cars; to keep the player interested.
So ironic that the person with 100+ posts in this thread wants it closed. This is hilarious.

This isn't the "Real Rare Car Collection Game." This is the "Real Driving Simulator."
I don't follow. Are you arguing to keep all cars or are you not?No. I'm showing you (and so many others) why unique cars need to stay. You think the people in France care what their car is called? The Clio and Lutecia are both French... The French, and people who like hot hatches, will definitely want to see their car stay in the game.
SimonKI'm not directly bothered by the dupes, it's more the fact they're used to bolster the car list and make it look bigger than it really is. I wouldn't mind the dupes if they were offered as 1 car but you could choose trim/version level and region when you buy it.
But I doubt PD will ever do that because the marketing people wouldn't let them.
SimonKFor me it's rather simple.
Advert - 'GT5 has over 1000 cars'
"Oh great, I get to drive over 1000 cars in a video game, this is going to be awesome"
"Hmm, it seems that a large percentage of that 1000 cars are actually very similar if not identical to each other. There aren't as many different cars as I thought there would be. I'm disappointed a bit, I feel misled."
Meanwhile.....
Advert 'Forza 4 has over 500 cars'
"Hmm, Forza only has 500 cars, a bit disappointing, that isn't as many as GT has".
"Well I'm impressed, it might not have as many as GT5 but the variety is excellent, there aren't many cars that are identical or close to it and there is a much wider variety of manufacturers and models".
SimonKWell in that example I'd have it as one car in the car list then you choose which region you buy in the dealership.
So the car list goes from:
1. Renault Sport Lutecia Renault Sport 2.0 16V ’02
2. Renault Sport Clio Renault Sport 2.0 16V ’02
To
1. Renault Sport Clio/Lutecia 2.0 16V ’02
But the Japanese are still happy, they can still have the car in their garage listed as a Lutecia, everyone else has it listed as a Clio. OCD completists can buy both.
Extend this idea across the whole car list and it comes down to a less misleading 600 cars. They could even list it as 600 cars with 1000+ trim & regional variations if they really wanted, I just find it really misleading to include these cars in the overall 'X number of cars' number.
Yeah SimonK i do agree with you on Forza's good variety of cars. The problem is like i know you have heard me say before on a wheel GT5 has a way better feel for realism than Forza. If Forza had better physics i would probably be playing it. That's honestly my problem with that game.
I know GT5 isn't perfect on every aspect of it's physics which I demonstrated a few of them on the "FM4 VS. GT5 PHYISICS" thread. And yes i know there is many duplicates of the same cars. Would you agree it would be great to have all the models/specs of every car if the correct setups were on them?
Because if they do not put the correct stock setups (power/torque/lsd/transmission/suspension ect.) then i pretty much agree with you there's no point to have them.
I bet you wonder why I always say "stock setups" all of the time. The reason is because I like to do stock car racing (aka same make races) main reason for that is because the way i see it anyone can beat you with a tune... But with everyone racing the same exact car and beating someone that shows better skill.
Another reason i guess is because GT has always put in a lot of the cars that were iconic (not saying Forza doesn't too). Like the Lancia Delta for example. I was in a lobby and someone said "why did PD put this piece of you know what in GT5"... I replied the reason they put that in was pretty much was a iconic car that was the last car Lancia made before they quit.
I have a few complaints about GT5 but nothing is perfect. I am currently on my 8th account doing the career mode A-Spec ligeit. I love offline racing because the physics are true. Online they are truly crap. That is another thing they should fix.
Sorry if I am turning a little away from the subject at the end just stating a few things maybe you might see eye to eye about
SimonKWell to be honest none of that has any relevance to the point, we're talking purely about the car lists, not the overall game. I only used Forza as a comparison because people are well aware of it, I could have used 'Super Made Up Motorsport game' to prove the point I was making.
I see what you're saying about PD needing to actually model the minor differences between models but even if they do I don't want them counted as two cars, it's one car with a slightly different configuration/trim level.
I mean when you go to a showroom to buy a car and the salesman tells you about a few different specs you don't think you're choosing between 5 different cars, do you? No, you're choosing between variations of one different car.
This would only apply to the relevent dupes of course, some of them are more than just a trim/spec variation of the same year/design model so those should count as two+ cars.
Honestly, Forza 4 is superior to GT5 physics wise, if your goal is a realistic driving, you've made the wrong decision between these two, but that's literally a different thread.Yeah SimonK i do agree with you on Forza's good variety of cars. The problem is like i know you have heard me say before on a wheel GT5 has a way better feel for realism than Forza. If Forza had better physics i would probably be playing it. That's honestly my problem with that game.
The duplicate problem that people are referring to is the exact same car appearing the game multiple times, with at most a different name. There are many blatant examples of this in GT5.Would you agree it would be great to have all the models/specs of every car if the correct setups were on them?
This will work for some cars, though to be honest I don't know if GT5's physics engine can accurately capture some subtle differences. The race suspension upgrade doesn't even work properly.Because if they do not put the correct stock setups (power/torque/lsd/transmission/suspension ect.) then i pretty much agree with you there's no point to have them.
I think that's non sense. Firstly, tuning is a skill, secondly there's no magic tune that going to make a car completely destroy something else in its performance bracket, except for a glitch maybe.I bet you wonder why I always say "stock setups" all of the time. The reason is because I like to do stock car racing (aka same make races) main reason for that is because the way i see it anyone can beat you with a tune... But with everyone racing the same exact car and beating someone that shows better skill.
That's fine it's not a duplicate. If however, PD counted all the colors as separate car models (which they actually did in GT PSP), that would be going too far.Another reason i guess is because GT has always put in a lot of the cars that were iconic (not saying Forza doesn't too). Like the Lancia Delta for example. I was in a lobby and someone said "why did PD put this piece of you know what in GT5"...
