Seriously, i seen the news, no Mitsubishi, Toyota, Lexus in any forza game going forward.

As a HUGE forza/jdm fan...that hurts, i have fond memories of the mines EVO VI from forza motorsports 1 drifting around fujimi kaido.

Gran turismo seems to be the only racing game with a pretty long list of iconic toyota cars...beit road car or race car. From the 1967 2000gt to the legendary 1997 supra MK4.

Toyota them selves said they don't want people customizing their cars, yet on GTSPORT you can have a 1000hp supra covered in anime decals....

(So Toyota straight up lied)

I think it comes down to the actual relationship of car manufactures and the game itself.

GT has had a long history with Toyota and mitsubishi, Vision GT is direct proof of that with manufactures designing concept cars to be played in gtsport.

Alot of people are saying sony/pd are to blame, but ultimately i think it's toyota and mitsubishi who are being very biased towards sony/gran turismo.

Toyota first released the 1997 supra rz, 1989 supra turbo A, 1967 2000 GT and 2015 Toyota FT-1(supra concept)in a free update.. and then released the 2019 Gazoo Racing Supra GT3 car in another free update... later came a free update that bought the 1997 sw20 MR2 and 2018 GT-86 Gr package...Toyota went so far as to blatantly showcase this on their facebook and japanese Toyota website...

And now they're bringing the shuniego AE86(initial d creators personal car) and 2020 supra road car.

.....japanese brands are just heavily biased towards sony/pd/gran turismo.

Which raises the question, will this be a trend going forward? Who's next? Nissan? Honda? Subaru..?

PD has a bigger impact in the car world than T10 or PG.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_GT-R

Polyphony Digital, creators of the Gran Turismo series of motor racing video games, were themselves involved in the development of the GT-R, having been contracted to design the GT-R's multifunction display.[13]

Yamauchi meets with the bosses once every year.

There is a bias towards them.

Well they are just companies making deals. Is that a company's fault? I don't know, it depends on if you accept how the market works or not. If anything I would say blame the market itself then.

@Ant_17: definitely also this.

Gran Turismo has a big stake in the actual car industry itself.

Don't care about Mitsubishi and Toyota, but Toyota's Lexus brand has some nice cars.

Historically and in term of brand value GT is way bigger than Forza. GT marketing deals is very crazy they even put up GT brandings in motor championships all over the world.

Car manufacturer getting represented in GT is something Sony and PD been cultivating for a long time.

That's nice but better hope that German or Italian car manufactures don't block GT in the future because I can see that happening.
