    Wait a minute... something's not adding up here...

    4.4-liter V8 with 400hp and 450 lb-ft of torque, and a transmissions with eight necessarily closely-spaced gear ratios (meaning that the first gear must be exceptionally low for a car), and the 0-60 time is only 5.4 seconds?

    Really?

    What's the German word for "huge beer gut", because this car, and the engineers that designed it, must have them if that's the best they can manage with that much power.

    @pauljones: I know right? Mm 10-year-old Jaguar, with a 4.0 liter supercharged V8 makes 370 HP and scoots to 60 in 5.3 seconds, and it does that with a Mercedes five speed and 4500lbs of heft.

    @pauljones: Well, I'm looking for a big garage... er, house, right now so I can have a place to do some real work. The garage it's in right now is the limiting factor. I need space and 220V.

    A three car divided into an oversized two bay and an oversized single bay got away due to slow realtor syndrome last week. I almost cried.

    @Ben Wojdyla: and it's built on a chassis as old as the idea of the automobile itself. i don't mean any hate, there's an X308 XJR in my family too, and i love it to death when i'm flooring it in a straight line, but the chassis is ancient.

    @DoctorNine: Woah, woah, the X5 isn't that bad of a car. And it's not that bad looking either, if you line up the ML, Q7 and X5, they're all pretty similar in uglyness.

    The 5GT just sucks. We all can agree that the 5-Series Estate owns them all.

    The 5GT is a too tall obese BMW. The X5 is an even taller, even more obese BMW.
    The 5GT is absurd, but not as absurd as the X5.

    Gotta say I'm disapointed. It looks like they pretty much just carried over the lineup from GT4 with 30 more Skylines, Civics and Imprezas each.

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

    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.
