Ah.... now I know why my Evo X wasn't popping up in the showroom ever for Mitsu... it's not in the game. Really, Polyphony?
If you look at the car list it looks like for the most part they used car models that they already had assets for back in the GT4 days, with only a few additions from anything super new. If you look, there are only about 5 cars with 2009 model years on them. Only 2 from 2008. No 2007 models. A lonely 2006 Eclipse.
It's very clear that this was a side project endeavor for the Polyphony crew. That said, I like it for what it is. The racing is rock solid and the track selection's amazing for a handheld. The presentation, though, is like playing a soulless husk of a GT game.
@tayaya: And GT4 felt like it had a lot of carryover from GT3 (but also a lot new). Which makes sense-- it means my beloved Panoz GTR will never be absent from GTwhatever.
But they might bother noticing that Panoz made and makes some moderately interesting street cars, too.
Maybe whittle the list of Skylines down to just half of a page, and get some variety.
I recently sold my Xbox to buy my PS3 for GT5 and was debating between a PSP and a DS. GTPSP was winning me over until I started to hear what the game actually was. I can now say I am a proud owner of a DSi. I'll wait for GT5.
@voigt: I actually sold my DS so I could further support my PSP. Racing games are underwhelming as a whole on DS. But if I were in your position, I'd probably get a DSi at this point too.

you know what's sad. I really want to buy GTPSP. But the more I hear about it, the more I see, the more it seems like Sony and Polyphony didn't spend as much time or put as much thought into as they claim. Look at this list...how many damn toyotas do you need? But that's ok though, Nissan is picking up the slack with the under representation...are you kidding me? even if I wanted to be a collection whore, what's up with the random car makers garages when you purchase cars? what's up with no indication as to which cars you already bought without going into the stats of EACH car in any given garage...jeez. I really wanted to get this game but there have been so many "wtf?!" moments while watching it run, reading the reviews, and now this list...thanks Sony/polyphony...really...you definitely know how to make someone NOT want to buy your shit.
There's roughly 4000 Toyotas and Nissans on this list. If I wanted to drive a Toyota or a Nissan, I'd buy one.
People don't buy racing games for realism. Nobody wants to watch me crash my Accord into a bush and cry for an hour and a half on a high-definition tv.

They should have at least included some of the more newly released awesome cars like the new Camaro, Mustang, Challenger and Genesis.
