It's a change in strategy on FMs part. As scarce as Gold is now, it's _a_lot_ more plentiful than it was in the beginning. For example, You used to get 2 gold for levelling up, instead of the 30-40+ you get now. And the daily/monthly rewards didn't exist. So the cars that have been in the game for a long while are R$, and usually only the last upgrades cost gold and not much at that.

Now, pretty much all the new cars cost gold and you're given the chance to win them through a special event. So you get them at a steep discount, but you do have to have enough gold to upgrade the car enough to win it.
