Car manufacturers never allow their cars to get wrecked like what you see in GTA IV. It just doesn't happen. Sure, video game designers can make runarounds like what you see in NFS Hot Pursuit 2010, but the cars themselves show little structual damage. Licensed vehicles means no realistic damage. Forza, GT, TDU, NFS, you name it, if it has real cars it doesn't have realistic damage. Racing games that have realistic damage do not have real cars. Burnout doesn't, MotorStorm doesn't, GTA doesn't, etc.

Plus, GTA is just too violent to have real cars. Blood stains on a Lamborghini would make Lamborghini sue Rockstar in a heartbeat.
