You guys no nothing of electric cars.

100% of the torque 100% of the time.

The Tesla Rodster would pwn almost any high end roadster no the market today.

Now the prius and other hybrids, idk. Must be souped up for street racing or something. lol.

And i just read...

PS Eye tracks your head movements!?!?!

Oh my god, how much more realistic can you get?

Haha, that translation makes the game look SOOOOO much better.

Of course it's a non event...look how long the series has been going.....I mean people have been waiting for this since it was announced in 2004.

How the hell u gonna compete with something that's well known when ur franchise started getting real notice after your second game came out?

Comments like these deserve a facepalm.

Again this a GT5 thread....fanboyish comments need to be put aside....

yeah, I love me too ;)

I was joking around, but anyways. The "elite" will use a racing wheel....to drive a Prius?

The point isn't to race every single car. If you're a car guy, you know there's just an enormous amount of variety in automobiles out there and they most of them bring something unique to table. Whether it's an exhaust note, a certain design aesthetic, or some sort of historical relevance, every car in Gran Turismo is in there for a reason. Combine that with the fact that people have dramatically different preferences and perspectives in what makes a car awesome, and all of a sudden 1000 vehicles makes sense. 

Gran Turismo isn't the most popular racing game of the last decade and a half for no reason. Polyphony understands and reveres car culture and history around the world to an extent that's tough to rival not just in the video game world, but in the world in general. Kaz Yamauchi ranks up there with people like Jay Leno, Ralph Lauren, and Jeremy Clarkson (to name a few) who get automotive culture. Gran Turismo just oozes with detail that enthusiasts recognize with clarity while casual players  get a sense of. Either way, GT hits that nerve that just about anyone who's into cars at all has. That's why the series is a phenomenon. 

I am going to say that is a translation error.  It sounds too good to be true.

I just found a reason to buy the PS eye now. =)
