Was hoping for the GT40 but Mark IV is great too. Nothing beats the original styling. Hell I'd probably be happy with a 2005/6 Ford GT

Nobody's really asking for a car collector so I don't know why that's being brought up.
It's perfectly reasonable to be disappointed at the lack of some big brand names in the car list. It's not like people are asking for Jay Leno Tank Cars, we're talking Chevys and Ferraris.
That being said, for me personally, the track list offsets any disappointment at some of the omissions in the car list.

Don't understand how people are 100% ok with this. Yeah it's good that less cars means more focus on each of them, but this is too little and is lacking huge brands. I'm not asking for hundreds of cars but maybe have a couple of cars from every major brand.
I'll still play this because it sounds like it's gonna be a good game but man, that car list is pretty bad.
Now I'm even more excited about the next GT on current gen with massively upgraded sound engine, visuals, good physics, and a lot of cars.

It's being compared to "simcade" games because that's all the consoles have which Project cars happens to be launching on.

Was hoping for the Dodge Viper 2014 GTS-R And the Corvette 2014 CR7-R
Hope they make it Via DLC

Since when are Forza and Gran Turismo simcade?

Since always.
Were you really expecting anything different though? If the game is a real sim on consoles (let's hope so, still not convinced until I play it though) you can expect a lot of rage at the game handling physics after release too. There are a lot of reasons iRacing isn't remotely interested to develop console versions...
Since before the first line of code was typed for either game.

Right, so never then. Project Gotham is simcade. Driveclub is simcade. GT and Forza are not.
With a wheel and with the proper settings, most differences come down to personal preference. Unless the companies behind the games call them "sim-cade," I'm inclined to think of it as a "no true Scotsman" sort of thing. The high end of PC simulations give more options though, and generally push for a closer approximation of motorsport.
Driveclub is pure arcade.
Think of them more as lite-sim, don't get caught up on the 'arcade' label. Basically there's PC sims that will make your car spin out into oblivion if you don't manage braking and gas meticulously, GT is quite a bit more forgiving even if it is in the same genre.
I think some people think arcade means "no brakes ever!" so in that situation it would be a middle ground game.

I think it's pretty solid. Don't need japanese cars.

Are they charging us a fraction of the price for the fraction of the budget and car selection? No? Then...sorry but people are going to voice some complaints. Deal with it.

Ford Escort RS1600. That to me, is worth the asking price alone.

Not a great list.
Seems like they should have just polled GAF for the necessary cars to make this game sell.
As long as the physics are solid, the cars used have a range, I'll be fine. Could have been a bunch of clunkers and I'd probably give it a go with those conditions...
Now I want someone to make a realistic poor man's racing sim... the top of the line car is just it's base version without all the miles on it that you win for beating the career.

I'm bummed that there are no Subarus but I'm still excited about the game and hopeful for DLC.

A smaller amount than I would have expected from a racer such as this, but it's no deal-breaker.
No Lambos or Ferraris makes me sad.

Me too. Also hoping they make it to Gran Turismo 7.
CARS is an acronym for Community Assisted Racing Simulator.

The list is small, no denying that. However, since this is a sim, a bunch of cars from some racing categories and the car list will be much better in the future.
If they add a couple of BTCC cars, a couple of Aussie V8´s, some SuperGT, old GT1 cars and keep expanding on what they are doing, we will be in good shape. I know they are trying to secure more brands, and if Assetto Corsa is an example, there´s no reason why can´t they secure brands like Chevy, Ferrari and Lambo.
We will enjoy those 65 cars a lot and the car list for Pcars 2 will probably be in the 200´s.
As for the lack of road cars, i really don´t mind. I don´t think it´s the focus of a game like this. I bet some models were added just to please manufactors. It´s all about motorsports in this one.

Including the Viper GTS-R and Viper GT3-R would absolutely make my day...here's to hoping for some SRT love on the DLC front

Actually is not. The joke on Gran Turismo is about duplicates like Opel Astra racing car and Vauxhall Astra racing car or clones like Skyline GTR R34 and Skyline GTR R34 midnight purple.
The examples you gave are completely different cars. A GT4 spec car is a base entry for racing and it´s a regular street car with a few enhancements made to race in real life series under the GT4 specs.
A GT3 car is a totally different beast with custom made parts to compete in FIA sanctioned events for the GT3 class. It´s a real bad ass racing car.
You can´t compare GT3 cars to GT4 cars even if you want to stretch it. This variety will gives us good league opportunities in Pcars. It´s not Gran Turismo clones at all.

But dude, Forza has like a million cars yo.
Don't worry about it, these guys most likely wouldn't race clean anyway

No complaints from me. Of course it's missing certain manufacturers, but considering the budget vs. titles like GT, Forza, Driveclub, etc., I think it's fair to give them a break on something like that, and some time to build up that car list through DLCs/expansions/sequels/whatever. The track list more than makes up for it.
