Yeah, the no purchased cars / upgrades path can be a tough one. I started playing the series back when GT1 came out, and by the time GT4 hit I was getting pretty sick of the same routine. The graphics and physics were top notch, but the core of the game hasn't changed much at all since GT1. Hopefully the online capabilities of GT5 will bring that much needed "newness" back.
