GT5 focused on quality with the "premium" cars. There are those who would prefer that GT5 shipped with only 300 cars for the sake of consistency. Those are the same kind of gamers who care about high review scores and see older GT4 models as an eye-sore that damage the game's consistency, therefore graphical rating.
Sorry but its not 300 premium cars vs 200 premium cars + 800 standards
It was more like 210 premium cars vs 200 premium cars + 800 standards.
Because theres no way they could have model 90 more cars. GT5 had all sorts of problems and one of the areas was the lack of enough 3d artists.
They did make a good choice by putting those 800 ported cars because there simply too many greats in standard list to be left out. I liked GT3 but having so many cars cut from the carlist was a huge disappointment.
In other hand im very critic of the standar cars, i think theres no excuse after so much time and so much money, was pure miss management.

I´d like to point out 2 other things:
Forza 4 is over 3.2 M in the leaderboards (and was 2.9 before the bundle), removing the second hand and adding those who dont use online i´d say the sales are probably around 3 millions, not 2.
Forza Horizon is not a flop, the last time i check the leaderboards was around 600K users which is not bad at all for the first month (before black friday), hardly a flop, i think the game is going to sell atleast 1.5
I love being able to refine the settings on the wheel until I fin something that feels really realistic.
