I honestly don't know what would be the point in having cars. I don't know how they would introduce it into game play. You never see sims getting into any vehicle in game, do you (I don't have all of the expansions)? I liked having cars in TS3 because you could watch your sims driving around, but in a game where it's all loading screens, I just don't see what all of the fuss is about..?
If they introduced cars, what do you imagine it would involve?

I want my game to reflect real life as much as possible. Cars are definitely "real life".
But I am getting by just fine without them, if we had them I hope they would bring some perks otherwise why not just teleport like usual?
And carpools since TS1.

That said, I agree cars would add nothing to the game. Sims teleport to their destination. It'd be a huge job to rework that, and I doubt the creators are up to the task.
Do what I do now- have them “Travel” using their phone instead. Then pick their home lot. No more wasting the whole household’s time and no more unnecessary needs decay.
Amen.
They can drive them from the garage to the edge of the lot, fine for me. No need to actually even step on the road. As long as they have the animations, can take their pets inside the car with them, can listen to the radio, turn on the thingymagiggy that cleans the windshield when it's raining, fix the engine when the car breaks, get teens to get their driver's license and so on. Cars in the sims are like any other part of gameplay, some like it some don't.
I understand that we're trying to have a more modern, timeless, and streamlined world in the sims 4 and the use of cars/busses/bikes might date the game, but I think that line has already been breached (cell phones, computers, etc). We also don't want to make sims 4 exactly like the games that came before it. Also I can't really imagine a wide array of cars fitting into the cartoonish look of the game. Because of these things, I understand that cars are not a high priority or even a possibility in the minds of developers. I'm not holding my breath, but I think cars would be a worthwhile and cool addition.
