What about the Dirt series? They're licensed cars and they get a little bit more than scratched.

Manufacturers don't care about them being totaled it's just that games like NFS, Midnight club and so on in their simplest forms are arcade games, wouldn't be much fun if your cars were constantly getting wrecked and races were getting ended because you totaled your car, Dirt gets away with it because it has a 'rewind' feature. It's like the other guy said they just don't want their vehicles related to violence.
