The official hype machine for Gran Turismo 5 is getting fired up, as PlayStation Japan launches their “We Love Cars” marketing campaign on Polyphony Digital’s home turf. Check out the new TV commercial above, or head on over to the somewhat confusing (for us non-Japanese speakers, at least) new “We Love Cars” website.
Of course, here at GTPlanet, we do, indeed, love cars, but what toy car first got you interested in everything automotive? Join the discussion in XEPEGTP’s thread in our forums!

Day three now, and Im still not bored of this add!
my childhood dream come true lol
I want that “WE LOVE CARS” as a sticker or poster.
Are you saying that ad is not exiting. What are you sniffin?
i see a BMW X6 at 0:08 i hope this is true!
hope the US and Europe ad is more exciting, but i love this one. the thing is only in Japan would this work
the video is well done
it have good phics and just excellent realism
now i realy see the price of the GT5
it is realy cheap
when the gt4 came out it was some good 60 euros
than some 2 years later it was at 29euros and i bought it
I got tired after a long period(some good 3years of joy)
it was the lastest game i play on ps2.
im going to be sad after selling my ps2 and games
just because im not going to play anymore gt4
i got some good times with it :(
i dont know why but when i saw that i remember of rfactor
with alot of cars
and it give me an idea
why dont create a gran turismo online for PC, like the EA did to NFS and HALO
but, with graphics like the gt4 but a litle better on the shape of the textures and shadows and alot more cars than rfactor
i certanly would buy it
and i think that alot of people with good PC that are fans of GT Series and dont have ps3(and some dont have ps2) would like to have one for pc and to play online
this is my request to yamauchi
thank you for listen me :)
Whilst GT it may not be on the PC, Eutechnyx appear to be working on a GT/NFS?TDU style of driving title – Auto Club Revolution. No idea how good/bad it will be, but it appears it will be free.
You can find more here….. http://vote.autoclubrevolution.com/hooray
;-)
Nooooo!!!!!!! I just realised i have a GCSE in the same week as the gt5 release date. If only it was a motor vehcale studies exam.
これは素晴らしいニュースだ!
Me mr frappy! oj :)
Found a HD Version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aV-9PXVqMQg
Wow, a HD version…woohoo…
Did I spot a MK2 Ford Escort in that lot?? Hoping we get that in the game :D
I had a Model Porsche 930 (911 Turbo) as my first toy car in guards red, I was 5, was drawn to that car in particular! Now we have all these “cars” to try out come November. simply WOW!
One more month OMG!!! September is practicly done and it’s going fast since i have to worry about shoool.
JORDAN PLEASE READ: On the day before release, you should make an article we can comment and all of us shoud say GT5 here we come.
This is so swwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeet :) I want to hug all of you cuties right now :) GT5, here we come!
Let’s say it after me GT5 community.
Here we come!
at the 11th second there is a green ford s max over at the right wall just before the we love cars symbol comes up and at the 7th second there is a bmw x6 in orange if wonder if there is a people carrier race in gt5.
Just got an e-mail off my mate studying in Japan that he has been able to get hold of the public demo. He’s going to be sending over the Blu-ray from which I will be able to install it at home.
(yes im stalking you) I thought you didnt want to play anything but the game when it comes out? :)
42 days left (Europe)
Lol, at 0:12, I thought that car in the very front was a Porsche for a second… turns out it’s a blurry Mercedes. Dang it! :P
I believe thats a Toyota/Lexus.
Thats a Toyota Soarer/Lexus SC430.
I reckon the most important thing in that advert is when it says the November 3rd release date!
Plus it is one weird advert for a game! haha
Lol… when the “We Love Cars” logo came up, things started going terribly wrong. Damage system overload at 3 fps. Wonder how many times they tried this before they said, alright were sticking with that cut. Are commercials in Japan always this short?
Who will be the first to freak out and/or reply in some pathetic manner?
Me.
OMG THOSE ARE THE PREMIUMZ? THE DAMAGE IS PATHETIC AND THE ONES GOING OFF THE SLIDE ARE TOTaLLY UNREALISTIC. CRYYYYYYYYYYYY
There.
Er…Therotically it was you. :P
it was frappy… considering he was off topic…. looking for trouble. whats that tell you?
200+ cars in that shot, all representing the premium content. Oh dear…
One of the funniest commercials I have ever seen, even if the humour was unintended. I guess it was meant to get the potential customer all hyped up and enthusiastic! :D
I love the new GT5 graphics :) and new awesome racing track! we will jump around online!
How fun would it have been to make that advert :D
as i shake my head to the song ” we love cars, we love cars” and so forth and on and on.
New Cars I see:
0:07 : Mercedes Benz 190E (race car)
0:08 : BMW X6 (M?) at the far right (red)
0:08.5: Nissan Skyline( BLRA-3) (Two of them)
0:10 (From left to right) Lexus GS350, Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano (China Rally/Expedition Edition, unkown van (Mitsubishi?)
0:10.9: Mini Cooper Clubman (yellow, far right)
0:11 Benz SLK
0:11.6 White Toyota Supra (right)
I would also like to point out that these cars are most likely those toy cars that comes with candies in Japan.
Can we be sure that all the cars in the commercial are representative of what’s in game? I thought I could see a Ford Escort XR3i, haha. I’m sure I’m imagining things.
japs are wierd.
im jap tho ^^
Nah, I see that as being creative ^^
who thinks it’s real footage with model cars (perhaps the same scale of what’s included with the Signature Edition?) and who thinks it %100 CG with some digital shift tilt trickery?
Beleive it is done the good ol’ way?
I do. It’s just gotta be the quicker way.
I mean programming and modelling v.s finding lots of 1:64 scale miniature automobiles, a huge tray to tip’em off’a, a slide, and a divider to keep’em onesixtyfours from crashing in to the camcorder set up on a low tripod below.
I watched this again and again.
I think definetly the american version is goin to have basicly all nascar and old muscle cars. But im not american so i dont really know what other things you like car related.
The british version (if not the same as USversiion) will proberly have tiny bits of each. It will have some f1 cars, wrc, definetly the top gear track, fast exotic cars and the nurburgring.
The japanese version had to be like that fun and no point what so ever.
wow.. shallow
sorry but all americans dont come from the swamps of alabama… most people in america drive foreign cars, and for good reason.
LIVEfromNY- “…for a good reason”
lol I know what you mean!
In my opinion, German cars kick ass in every way.
Yes they do! I drive a VW Passat 1.8t, and before that i had an MK3 Jetta…
Had to be japanese.
funny…
oh my name is ferocious dragon
ha ha, i love this commercial!!! :D
anybody wanna add me to their friends list?
I would love 2 race against my GTP family
roll on Nov.2nd, 3rd & 4th.
I liked it a lot.
I just kept hitting play, but the game never loaded. LOL Loved the commercial tho. Wish we had commercials that short in the U.S.
I think I see the life Step Van…
This commercial is targeting the younger kid audience, around 8-12 years old. GT5, also known as the serious and accurate “Real Driving Simulator”, is trying to advertise as being “Fun” and “Friendly”. Since most of the fan base are already in their mid teens or older, PD’s trying to reach out to the new younger audience to build up the fan base.
Funny, it makes us old people remember the days when we play with toy cars and make “vroom vroom” sounds. =DDD
“We LOVE CAARRRS!!! WE LOVE CAARRRS!!! La la laaa!, La Laaa!!! GR-DAN TURDISMO FIYVE!!!
– Starty eyour… Engines!!! –
its funny that in that short vid. i spotted like 8 skylines, 3 evo x. looking at that little bit and the scale of 1000+ cars…its safe to say that at least 50 wil be skylines lol. Classic GT!! -_-
All aboard the hype train last call!!!
i may be wrong here but isn’t everyone getting GT5 at the same time. considering time zones and all.
Not quite. Parts of Australia are in the same time zone as Japan and we don’t get it till the 4th.
Yeah i thought the same thing. its like a day later for europe since its like on the 4th or something. but they are practically a day ahead already
I hope that track to be reverse also night and rain :p
I meant every car
LOL this was weird. How do they advertise things out there damn! Well this game can’t come soon enough. HURRY POLYPHONY DIGITAL. Thanks Kazonury Yamauchy .
After all this years, it’s coming.
A least I got everything on GT5P finished. Every medal gold & every track. Love it PD.
X6! I think. And Starions galore.
That Jingle is going to be stuck in my head for days. And it wont bother me one bit for once.
“We love cars, We love cars, la la la la laaa”
Hot Wheels F40. My all time favorite toy and definitely sparked my love for cars.
That’s weird :-S F40 also was my favorite car, and did spark the passion for them during my youth :-| Are you my lost twin brother?!? :-D
Anyway, it still is one of the greatest car of all time, build right before cars start having stupid computers that spoiled all the fun! It must be pure raw joy to drive one of those…
Andre, I doubt you and DunavantJ are the only two who loved F40s when you were young. No, I know you weren’t because I did too, I had a Burago model of one, and an F50… Not sure which I’d prefer, the F1 derived F50 engine must have been something. Also from what I’ve read it would be less pure raw joy and more pure raw terror, especially given what they’re worth!
It’s really happening… It’s really coming out almost a month from now…
Oh great start there by the STIG!!! lol
I see some old car, looked like Rambler? don’t remember if we had this on GT4.. there a ugly green van too at 0:10 at the right lol
WTF!? lmao, that was kind of funny. I’m glad they are getting their ad campaigns off the ground. Should be proof for most that the Nov. 2nd release is concrete. Well, ok. 2nd for NA. Still, its coming.
I kinda want some of those models.
@D1 Motorsports
Its not a nanno but a mitsubishi i.
Man, I could watch these miniature cars rolling down that slide for 10 minutes !
Actually, those are actual full size cars rolling down a giant slide.
@Mango
I hope that was a joke
YEEAH UH YEEAH UH YEEAH UH YEEAH!!!!!!
YEEAH UH YEEAH UH YEEAH UH YEEAH!!!!!!
YEEAH UH YEEAH UH YEEAH UH YEEAH!!!!!!
YEEAH UH YEEAH UH YEEAH UH YEEAH!!!!!!
Uh… No?
YEEAH UH YEEAH UH YEEAH UH YEEAH?????
Am I in the club now?
YEEAH UH “INOCHI” UH WE LOVE UH CARS!!!!!!
@Jordan
Have links open in a new tab/windows so we dont have to navigate away from the site when following links
Or you could just right-click the link and click “Open in new tab”.
Yeah, or use the mouse-wheel button (press mouse wheel in).
@Obli, thanks, did not know ya could do that
If there’s one oddity about Sony’s marketing, it’s that they have decided to use Kevin Butler to sell the games rather than showing the games themselves. You’ll get a minute of Kevin Butler talking and maybe fifteen seconds of game footage if you’re lucky.
The interesting part is that the games are so good they have nothing to hide…
I think I see a Tata Nano at :07, white with a green stripe next to the Evo…I cant wait for my 43 minute lap of Nurburgring in that!
No, I guess it´s a Mitsubishi iMiEV, which is electric, not a Nano. It would be fun to drive a nano, by the way.
They sure have some strange programs/advertising. No game footage whatsoever, I’m assuming the US advertising will not be similar to the one above in any way.
Eh, not all that strange. I’ve seen a number of game commercials that feature no game footage.
As for for the marketing campaign not being used in the US, you’re right that it -probably- won’t be used, but still: If you listen, the lyrics are in English and don’t seem to have any accent. Also, if you go to the website, all of the images show people who pretty clearly aren’t Japanese. Finally, that “we love cars” logo has no trace of Japanese characters in it. Most Japanese advertising has at least some kind of subtext or something that is in kanji/romanji/etc. All of these things considered, it’s possible that this commercial/slogan will be used globally.
i don’t get it
Neither do I, but I like it for sure!
It’s the game with many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many[i]many[/i], many cars.
I saw a Mitsubishi Starion! I do hope thats in the game!! :D
Me too, I do own one in black and I would love to drive it on GT 5 !
Yes there was a Starion!!!!!!!!!
I bought a Starion new in 1988. It was silver with black leather interior. Had it up to 135mph at Jones Beach. Wrecked it in a head on with a Lincoln. I really loved that car…
I bought mine around 12 years ago and I loved it, it was written off when a taxi driver rammed me from behind at 80km/h while I was stopped at an intersection though GRRRRR.
Mine was red with beige leather, RIP.
I’ve reached 220 kmh but only on highway. I do love this car so much, and it’s so rare where I do live, that I can’t put it on danger. I’m going to create the Starion Club in Spain if everything goes well. Months ago a car hit my front bumper while I was totally stopped in a parking, but lucky me I got him seconds later and now I’m in the process of getting the money from his insurance company to paint my front bumper again : )
Pictures on my personal picture album, at the forum !
Can’t wait till the American Version.
No doubt the english ad will be some crappy quality trailer ripped from a youtube video…like they always do.
@Liam Could you kindly provide an example?
Anybody spot any cars we haven’t seen yet in GT? haha!
I hope they make another awesome ad just like they did in GT4.
Interesting cumercial. Japan always puts a smile on your face when advertising.
A smile, or a horrified, confused face.
i guess you saw the mcdonalds ad!!! hahahahaahha
Go to YouTube and search for “inochi”. Then click the first video. That’s what I would call an interesting commercial.
mango – you have to be kidding! :D
@Mango – That is really odd
haha love seeing the passion for cars in 1/64 scale… none of them had damage so they must be standards XD
Hahaha! XD
Thats gonna be the joke of the century!
You made my day! xD
Hahahaha that was…. old..
Short but sweet! Can’t wait for GT5!!
