Based on my observations anything newer than a fat CECHG doesn't crash, though if its a fat in may die at any time. MY CEHCG overheats and shuts off, but my friends CEHCH doesn't.
Any slim or newer doesn't crash due to to heat related problems at all. That said, you may get "crashes" on any model due to a corrupt hdd.

I have a FAT 40 GB (3rd generation, CECHHxx) and I assure you guys that I dont have issues.
The only thing that happens sometimes, which is not the console's fault, is that the online server room freezes sometimes when trying to connect.
Edit: obviously I have some jittering issues when playing online and the players enter to the track, but not too bad.

From the numerous threads that have already discussed this, I can't say that any one model seems more prone to crashes than any other.
My launch-day CECHA fatty has crashed maybe 3 times, one of which was that last update which was confirmed as a glitch on PD's end of things - not console specific whatsoever. I've played several hours-long sessions without issue.
As usual, I'd say the largest factor is keeping your PS3 clean and in a well-ventilated area, regardless of which model you have.

I have the 120 gb slim, about 4 years old....I have experienced some issues. On a few occasions, I've had the game freeze after a series event and not give me the credits after the race and I've also had the system shut down on me after heading back to the main menu screen. It shut down then started back up and I had to start all over again.

i voted for the 320 gb because i got my 250 slim three days before release so i think (I THINK) they may share some newer components if any (IF ANY) were added. I never get a freeze unless someone with a bandwidth from Mogadishu comes in my room... however, i get fairly a bunch of lag outs and now it calls it "disconnected from the media server" .... partly due to my 250 m/s ping that haunts me, with a 15 down and a 5 up. Which SHOULD be plenty but at times it isnt...

An acquaintance has reported the same issue on a 2nd gen fat, 40Gb CECHG console. These are the only 2nd gen units to use the same 90nm GPU processes as the 1st gen fats, so it would seem that we have the makings of a definitive list of consoles that may suffer from the in-game shutdown issue:
CECHAxx - NTSC 60Gb fat 1st gen
CECHBxx - NTSC 20Gb fat 1st gen
CECHCxx - PAL 60Gb fat 1st gen
CECHExx - PAL 80Gb fat 1st gen
CECHGxx - PAL 40Gb fat 2nd gen

To add I have a first gen Fat and that has had no issues at all with GT6, however it doesn't have the original 60Gb HDD, but a 250GB replacement in it, as such part of the issue could be the OEM HDD's in the first gens.
Its also a Sony refurb, as I've had (three) fats replaced under Sony's (still running but closed to new people) continues play scheme.

My friend borrow me his 500gb super slim model and I think all the crash problems will end. In the past when I update car images in my garage my system crashes. With my friends super slim update all the cars at the same time with no issues. I will update my findings with the super slim. I have to check performance during racing.
I think its time to replace fat models...

For question poll.. So I selected 120 slim.
You have title opposite of question which is confusing/ poorly worded.
