It's due to trademark law. We can't legally use a 3d likeness of the car AND the name together. We CAN do one or the other, so we chose the 3d likeness but with different names. In racer, almost every car is a download-able add-on, so they don't care so much about the legal status, but if we want to be part of a distribution then we have to be more careful. However, very soon we'll start doing the racer-type distribution of 1 original car with 1 original track, and then we'll have other cars and tracks download-able through a separate utility. By doing this we can probably be more lax and start calling cars what they are (thoughts?).
