Sounds like good news to me!! But I'm still skeptical because less detail could be like the dashboards in the PSP. That would suck.

Of course, because you can compare the processing power of a PSP to render a cockpit cam for 800 cars with the processing power of the PS3 to render a cockpit cam for 800 cars as well.
Not only that, but GT5p already had cars that are far from being "Premium", like the Suzuki Cappuccino which have perfectly normal cockpit cams already.

If the c-64 can do dashboard, so can the PSP.

Wow, you pull out a Test Drive pic XDDD
Funny enough though, that dashboard is probably pushing most of the graphical definition of the game. And that's only for five cars in the same field 
In that aspect then I guess the 360 is also to fault. Forza 2 didn't have dashboards as well 
And some PC sims like Toca Race Driver 3 are also to fault because they didn't have dashboards as well. Oh my, how the mighty PC has fallen.
Seriously, that's your best argument?

Perhaps you misunderstand me. I am a huge fan of GT as I have played through all of its iterations. Played through all of the Forza games too but GT is still my favorite by far. The news of GT5 possibly not having dashboard/interior cam was quite a bummer for me because I have grown so fond of the view in GT5p and Forza 3. All I am trying to say this is good news but I am still skeptical because a less detailed interior view could be a view like the PSP GT. Really has nothing to do with the power of the system. It’s all about the resources and time and if after 6 years of development there is no dashboard view for 80% of the cars I will be disappointed. But, this will not stop me from buying and enjoying the game.

I understand what you mean, but in the end it is about what you can squeeze out from the platform you're working with. PD probably could have done dashboards on GT4 too, but with the PS2 power, the best they could come up with would be the same blackened dashboard. That's why GT4 suffered in the physics department too, there's just so much that can be done.
That's why I referred to GT5p's Suzuki Cappuccino and it's implementation of a proper dashboard/cockpit cam. Granted, we don't know what will be the premium cars, but the info tidbits and videos released with Premium car selection have shown that Premium car category range from mid-high tier production cars to proper LMP and racing cars. And the Suzuki Cappuccino model was pretty much an upgraded GT4 model, fit to the specifications of the new graphical engine for GT5 too. Which is the definition for Standard cars, as it is on the official GT site.

Yes, I agree with the GT5p's Suzuki Cappuccino. Heck, there was even a rear view of back seat in all the cars in GT5p which is more than Forza 3 has. But the standard car video from the GT website has all of the standard cars with blacked-out windows which concern me. As for the GT4 models being reused, this really doesn’t bother me. They were already fantastic looking in 1080i. Smooth out the edges and update some textures and I'll be happy. Sound effects on the other hand do not sound improved as some of the V8 cars in the standard car video sound like a vacuum cleaner.
