@Kenshi_Ryden: Just came out on PC today. Has more characters, and in Feb will have a level editor as well. Plus the dev can do updates whenever they want, no waiting around for MS authentication and shit.
@Pessimippopotamus: Majority of the cars are just the GT4 models with a bit of spit and polish. The only reason they actually made a couple hundred new cars for GT5 was to use them exclusively for advertising, since the 800 old cars clearly look different. Nothing to do with licensing fees.
Just want to say they only crush cars if they can't be sold for some reason. Hence why this is only the second car to be crushed in four years. Plus the cars are only confiscated permanently after they've already been impounded for hooning twice before.
Victoria, Australia is a nanny state for many reasons, this isn't one of them.
@rich8606: Well one of the things GT5 has become most well known for is laughably bad trees. Probably not the greatest game to look at if you want to see what sort of trees consoles can display.
