Gran Turismo 5 Official Car and Track List

[BatsareBugs]

My only disappointments on the track list have to be the glaring lack of Special Stage Route 11, Apricot Hill, Midfield Raceway, and Twin Ring Motegi.

As for the car list, I like it, but Polyphony really dropped the ball with the entry level cars in my opinion, as well as a few that I was hoping for. I sure would've liked to see:

Dodge Caliber SRT4 '06
Dodge Charger '06
Dodge Neon '00
Dodge SRT-4
Ford Fiesta '08
Honda Fit Sport '09
Hyundai Genesis Coupe '08
Mazda Mazda2 '07
Nissan Pulsar GTI-R '94
Nissan Pulsar '05
Nissan Tiida '04 (Versa SL for NA)
Scion tC '04

So which steering wheel will give the best driving experience? ps: wrong thread, i see good discussion about steering wheels in another GT5 thread.

Very surprised to not see a single Porsche on the car list.

I am not. EA owns the exclusive license to Porsche. They sell a sub license to MSFT for Forza, read rumblings on the web they will not to Sony for GT5 because they see GT5 as a competitor (I know odd).

(wonders if Peter Moore ex 360 honcho but now head of EA Sports has anything to with that)

So they have RUF which are modified Porsche, like Callaway is to Corvettes and Saleen is to Mustang.

Track list is very disapointing, and I played the game at bestbuy last night. I wasn't too impressed with the graphics, and the physics felt off at times. This game took forever to be released, and I was expecting a lot more. I'll wait to hear reviews at this point.

Only Indy and Daytona for NASCAR?! I would hope they got more then that.

I disagree. When you take into account that this is not a NASCAR focused game, along with the fact that the course maker, if it is competent in the least, should be able to reasonably replicate a variety of NASCAR courses, it makes perfect sense to not waste valuable time on extra NASCAR tracks.

Every time Porsche is mentioned in relation to GT5 the first thing mentioned is RUF and how "everything will be alright cause we'll have RUF" well here's the RUF content:

	RUF 3400S '00
	RUF BTR '86
	RUF CTR2 '96
	RUF CTR "Yellow Bird" '87
	RUF RGT '00

Mind you NONE of them have cockpit view and the latest one is over 10 years old. So we get a ten year old hack job of a Porsche that we have to drive as if we were the emblem on the hood.

Then we get to the tracks...

No Sebring
No Road America
No Road Atlanta
No Mid-Ohio
No Limerock to name a few.


You'd think America didn't exist with this. So much for trying to recreate the American LeMans Series.

Then it's been said that weather would be on all tracks now come to find out only on a few select tracks, same with night so it seems.
