There is something about :
1) being realistic, even with goals that you have set yourself and the messages you therefor share
2) changing goal posts from yes, to later, to maybe and then giving qualifiers which werent part of your original message
3) reckognising the talent at SMS e.g. they blamed MS for bad controls and had to patch it. If MS didn't have any issues with their controller in Forza 4 and FH 2, how did it become an issue with Pcars?
4) various issues that Pcars has on both current gen consoles
It may not be lying, but they are walking a fine line between over promising, under delivering, changing goal posts and diverting decisions they made onto others. The classic being not having many cars because gamers usually settle with a handful. That's like capcom saying the next SF will only have 8 characters as they are the most playe. GT and Forza make use of the variety of cars through their career mode e.g. mini races, hatch back races, 4wd races etc
I think this game has been given more leeway than any other racing simulator and isit's not good as we as gamers set the precedent by accepting these work ethics.
