so after all only those 170 will have damage and it's not even finished? after what? 2 years since Yamauchi said that they are buying licenses for damage to use them in GT5?! Gran Turismo 5 in Q4 2010/Q1 2011, confirmed?
they announced damage DLC for Prologue months before its release - it's been almost 2 years since the game launched in japan and there's still no damage and we're talking bout 70 cars.

You miss understand...

All cars have exterior damage. Only 170 will have interior.

 

It's also interesting to hear that Polyphony might be testing the damage out on gamers, since Yamauchi-san adds "we’re interested to know how far the players want to go."

This quote means no full damage on all cars.

1. Only 170 cars have damage.

2. So far it's only partial damage on the 170, depending on "how far the players want to go" on the damage.

Wait a minute. I thought he said that not all cars have damage, not necessarily "only" 170. And also that 170 cars have interior damage.

Yes, but don't you think we get some clue from the GC demo?

 - in the demo the car with partial damage was a new Subaru, clearly one of the 170 new modeled cars. Only the doors, hood and bumber had damage, not tyres, glass, mirrors, lamps and other plate surfaces in this Subaru model, while the other cars had no damage at all - neither cosmetic or functional.

- it's only logical to put your most effort on Nascar and WRC cars if you're only gonna implement damage on some cars but not all. That's what I think will happen. If you see only partial damage on the new cars, and no damage on most cars - which conclusion are you gonna draw for the final game? That it depends on user feedback and resources whether a bit more damage will be implemented.

Personally Im happy if it's just those 170, as long as it's more damage than just doors-hood-bumper like we saw in the GC demo.
