I totally agree with this! But, if you look at Asphalt 8 since its release, Gameloft does have a habit of re-hashing certain cars every so often. I can give you some examples :

- Audi R8 e-tron / Audi R8 LMS Ultra : Just take the first one, soup up the performace, whack on a spoiler and racing decals, and voila

- Cadillac ATS / Cadillac XTS : Very minor differences between these two, maybe one is slightly bigger

- Koenigsegg Agera R / Koenigsegg One:1 : Since the One:1 is based on the Agera R, only more powerful and with slight differences, this definitely counts.

- Mosler GT3 / Mosler Super GT / Mosler Land Shark : Like @NukeStar pointed out, they're practically the same. I can't really see much variation between the three. It's a complete waste of space for much better cars, like some of the suggestions in the Community Poll on this Wiki

- McLaren P1 / McLaren P1 GTR : Like the Audi R8, just the latter is more powerful, has racing decals and a spoiler

- Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Electric Drive / Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT Coupé Final Edition : To me, they're almost too identical, save for the carbon-fiber hood on the Final Edition

- Ferrari Enzo / Ferrari FXX Evoluzione : The Evoluzione is just an uglier-looking (in my opinion) track-modified variant of the Enzo

- GTA Spano / 2016 GTA Spano : The 2016 is just a face-lifted variant of its predecessor

I might have missed one or two, so feel free to give them a mention if you can.

As for this Winter Update, it doesn't hold a candle to last year's release. We got pretty sweet cars like the Egoista, the Asterion, the DS 3 Racing, the RR Evoque, the TRION, etc.

That new Chevy Impala does make me believe that Gameloft has some sort of deal going on with Chevrolet *cough* 2016 Camaro SS *cough* Looking at those stats, it's gonna totally destroy everyone it comes across!

This Update we also got no new tracks, but I'll forgive that since we only got Rio added just a few months ago.

But on the whole, it's like they're not even trying anymore
