Misleading title in my opinion.

"there's going to be deformation damage -- scratches and stuff -- for all normal cars"

The thread title isn't misleading. Every car gets damage, some get more viewable damage than others, but all of them handle worse after a crash, which is ultimatly what I really wanted. You now get penalized for driving like an idiot. The graphical damage doesn't really matter all that much, but is nice becuase a car that can't steer but looks in perfect shape makes you think they did a crappy job on the game.

I dont think the IGN article gave evidence enuff that all cars will have damage. Scratches ain't damage. Im worried about that sentence I quoted above - yes, deformation is damage, but why the journalist then says only 'scratches and stuff'? It sounds like his own speculation.

Plus where is the confirmation that all cars will have mechanical damage that affects the handling? I missed that part.

The IGN guys says it right at the end. Here you go

Now, even though the Subaru looked like death and the Benz/Ferrari looked scratched up, all three drove like crap after the accidents. Whereas I could fly around in the rides beforehand, now I felt tension in the wheel when I'd be driving down a straightaway and cornering was tougher than ever.
