This sure sounds familiar to me.
I hope you're not suggesting mods keep a second account solely for the ability to

Opinions & Current Events section.
It's incredibly unlikely all standards (or even most) will be upgraded to RUF-in-GT6-levels; it took three years for a few dozen upgrades between GT5 and GT6.
The number of unique-to-GT cars gets smaller each year.
What makes a P1 a "shinny thing" while an Alto is "actual content"? Really, I'm curious.
The magic - at least for me - of PD's sometimes more eccentric additions is dampened when they're simply carried over from GT3 or 4 without a single upgrade to their looks. I can think of a few dozen Standards I'd love to appreciate the finer details of, but in GT, I can't. Yep, I can drive them - and there's been a long discussion on whether Standards truly take advantage of everything the new physics engine has to offer or not - but driving is just one aspect.
Funnily enough, Forza 5 just announced an historic first among racing games; the Rolls-Royce brand has appeared in its first-ever racing game, with the Wraith. They've actually got a second "first" as well, since they've included a Formula E car.
Indeed. While it should be clear, I suppose I'll restate it; I don't think all the models that comprise Standards should be permanently wiped, and barred any further appearances in the series (like the Alcyone and Cosmo of GT1/2, as just two examples). I think PD should focus on making Premium versions of the most recognized/used/important ones, and toss the ones that are no longer relevant, until such a time comes that they too can get newer assets to better represent them. Is the Honda Element going to be missed by the vast majority of players? Or the Range Stormer, a concept version of a production vehicle that's now gone into its second generation? The same could be said of the Infiniti FX concept.
Oh hey, I know that thread
