While it’s a huge roster, it’s a list that remains heavily weighted towards cars from the ’90s and early 2000s that appeared in GT3 and GT4. It definitely does feel like GT6 focuses on car quantity over quality in other departments. The collision noise is still the same old hollow thud, and sounds like someone tossed an empty refrigerator box into a stairwell. There’s very little bark or bite to the muted engine notes it’s disheartening to slip into a favourite car expecting a high-revving snarl and getting a soft and feeble digital buzz. On the topic of unwelcome returns, sound continues to be a major problem.

There’s no livery editor and, infuriatingly, GT5’s ridiculous paint chips have returned. Visual customisation remains well behind the curve. Brake customisation has returned from its GT5 absence, but we’re still not able to swap out engines or carry out drive-type conversions. Performance customisation is largely familiar turf, but I found the quick, drop-down menu that allows you to buy parts and adjust tuning on the fly a nice touch that reduced my menu-hopping. However, the detail and lighting on the cars Polyphony has modelled inside and out really is top-shelf you won’t find better-looking cars anywhere on PS3. Sadly the cars that are polished relics from GT4 are still easily spotted upon close inspection, and blocky edges and low-res numberplates are still far more common than I’d like. This is good news if your favourite car is one of GT6’s older, more obscure models there’s no need to stalk a spreadsheet of cars between every race hoping it’ll pop up (and crossing your fingers it will actually let you buy it). The full ranges from all the included car manufacturers can be browsed at will, because GT6 doesn’t differentiate between so-called Standard and Premium cars like GT5 does.

GT5’s aggravating XP-ranking system has been punted, and pleasantly Polyphony hasn’t hidden the vast bulk of its cars inside a small, slowly rotating “used car” list this time. Beneath it all, however, familiar old series gripes relating to damage modelling, sound, and a dated car list return to partially undermine everything developer Polyphony does so right, and they’re gripes that are persistently nibbling away at the foundations of this genre titan. It’s impossibly good looking for a PlayStation 3 game, the handling is spectacular, and the sheer variety of track and driving content it boasts is nothing short of show-stopping. Make no mistake: Gran Turismo 6 is, by most measures, a remarkable racing game. Unfortunately, not all GT6’s errors are this trivial. Gran Turismo 6, in this case, made a minor botch up. The coupe utility was invented in Australia back in 1934. It wasn’t a distinctly American idea, either. In 1957 the Ford Ranchero brought the coupe utility body style to the US two year prior to the El Camino’s 1959 debut.
