I've heard the same thing, but my hopes are high because I heard they were planning to put crash damage into GT5:P this spring. If that is the case, then I would assume they got the OK from all the manufacturers.

 

Wow, now that is good news.

I've always wondered why it was such a big deal anyway... I mean, Forza 2 has damage, so why do the manufacturers make such a big deal out of it for GT5?  Or am I missing something?

I heard it is because they pay the manufacturers to use the cars in Forza. Gran Turismo is so popular, that they don't pay a dime to use a single car in the game. In fact, I was watching one of the promo videos on the PSN where they actually gave a prize away of having a manufacturers/owners car in the game.

So I would imagine since they aren't paying to use the cars, that not all manufacturers are willing to let the cars get damaged.

Personally, I hate it when you don't damage your car in a race (arcade games like Mario kart are an exception), cause then you can just grind along the rails.
