That is my main gripe with most racing games... no cockpit view, just a view that strangely puts you in between the front two tires.

You couldn't have said it better. And for those who whine that GT3's steering is too hard (not just the users on the forum, but including Adam Sessler from X-Play on G4-TechTV, who also said the controls were too hard) you are just too babied by the crappy physics in candy coated street racer games that don't get down into the nitty gritty as well as GT does.

Info on GT4 that I heard from the guy at my local Game Crazy station in Hollywood Video (it's a used and new games store that is housed within Hollywood Video a movie rental store for you guys who don't know) was that GT4 was gonna be as large as GT2 was, and that the only reason GT3 was so much smaller than GT2 was because they were cramming their code into the graphics because it was packaged with the PS2 when it came out and Sony wanted to show the world what all the PS2 could do. That isn't to mention the fact that the game developers weren't as experienced with the PS2 as they were the PS1 in which they could cram more into the game with the same space whithout making the game suffer. The guy said that GT4 should be able to mix both game size and graphics advancements. I've got my fingers crossed!
