Do you want me to name just new cars, or cars it's lacking in general?

It's just curiosity and it's hard to put all requested fans cars into the game.

So, they can't get all the requested cars into the game, so lets just forget about American cars in put in, literally, over 150 Nissans (when you include Nismo, Amuze, and all tuned Nissans, it adds up to 158)? If they put i n less Nissans then hell yes they could have done a better job picking cars. With 1,000 cars in the game Polyphony Digital did a crap job picking cars to satisfy everyone.

Anything American newer then 2007 would be great. Things like the Ford Mustang GT (with 400hp instead of 300 hp) which was actually out when GT5 released or a Mustang Boss, or a GT500, even if it's just one, The new BMW M5 (only released a year after GT5), a BMW 1M or an M6, or a 1M, you know some of the cars BMW is known for, A Ferrarri 599 GTO, FXX, you know some of the hyper performance Ferrarri's of today, Gumpert Apollo, Henessey Venom, the newer Hydai Genesis (Does GT5 even have one?), A Konigsegg....No really, JUST 1 Konigsegg would be nice, The Lotus Evora Supercharged, or the Type 124, two critical cars for Lotus nowdays, and the SuperSport is one I particularly want to try, A modern Benz E, SL, SLK, CL, or well half the lineup in AMG format would be nice, a Pagani Huayra, something called a Panoz (A street version), Porsche....yes Porsche, just one, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1 Porsche would be nice. This is like the biggest car company ever, it's my favorite, it's Ferrarri's biggest compeditor, they own Lamborghini, a Modern Saleen, like a Raptor, the list just goes on.

There is just so many other cars Nissan could have added to GT5.....wait....why the heck are half the new cars Nissans?

I could name a pile of old cars, GT5 is missing so many great American muscle cars, and even just some great cars in general. Where is the Lamborghini Diablo, the Ford Thunderbird,The Cehvrolet Nova, Impala, Bel Air, or the Dodge Dart, or the first muscle car, the Pontiac Firebird? Ever heard of a company called Holden? GT5 has like 2 Holden cars, but how many Daihatsu's does it have? Do you know about this thing called the Maserati MC-12? It's the sister car to the Enzo, but nah, it's not important, just the biggest car for Maseratti ever. Once you leave the Japanese Market GT5 only gets some of the important cars, but it misses out on so many more. Bugatti is know for more then just the Veyron you know?

I see I like some cars you listed... other is just another version alredy into GT5... the most noticiable lack is the Porche but that's not GT falt... it's the exclusive contract with Microsoft... so no other game can have Porches (If I'm not wrong the exclusive contract is now with EA).

Honda, Nissan, Mitsubishi and Toyota have the most quantity of the cars in the game... the creator is Japaneses so I can understand that fact... it's more logical yet when even with so many cars from these company the GT5 still have the most diversity cars in any other sim racing game in consoles... so I don't see problem here.

They received the Ford Corvette '13/14 (Corvette > Mustang) now and I'm wating January to remove his cape and see how bealtiful the new Corvetter is.

Porsche isn't a contract with Microsoft, it's EA, it has always been EA, and Forza still got Porsche. Why could Sony just give EA some money and get Porsche too? I don't expect 30+ Porsches like in Forza, but 5, just 5 would do. A Carerra GT, 911 Turbo, 911 GT3, A Boxer, and that F40 compeditor.

Who care that PD is Japanese? Turn 10 is American and there are more European cars in Forza then American. Japan is the newest car market, they have the least number of sports cars, even if PD is Japanese, Japan should have to smallest number of sports cars in the game.

GT5 has the most diversity of cars? You serious? Forza Motorsport 3 has cars from 81 Manufacturers. 81! 81 Manufacturers and 600 cars or so. GT5 has 72 Manufacturers with nearly 1,100 cars. How can the game with less cars, from more manufacterers, have less diversity? Ontop of that, about 700 cars in GT5 are Japanese. Literally 15% the cars in the game are Nissan Alone, 10% are Honda (over 110 Hondas), 10% are Mazda (About 100), 9% are Toyota (90 cars excluding modified ones), and 7% are Mitsubishi (72 Cars).

51% of the cars in the game come from 5 car manufacturers! Mitsubishi isn't even a big company!

When you actually count them Forza 4 has more cars from regions outside of Japan then GT5. So please, tell me exactly, how does that make GT5 more diverse in car selection?
