I'm not talking the standard deep sea province type in game already, I'm talking colossal miles-deep oceanic rifts. Sure, they're in the game, but the reality of such a place, how truly hostile it is to life which hasn't evolved to deal with it, would require separation into a separate type of province to simulate properly. For instance, if you were to drop a 1970 cadillac de'ville (I wouldn't do it to an El Dorado) into the deepest part of the ocean, it'd come back up approximately the size and shape of a bowling ball.

No, it wouldn't. Solid metal doesn't get shrunk / compressed, and all the air in the car would be _long_ gone before it got there. Windows would break early, equalizing pressure; most of the fluids would have minimal compression (oil, anti-freeze, gasoline - not positive about hydraulic/brake fluid but expect the same behavior as the others), about the only major items that would compress would be the gas tank, radiator, and other items that aren't completely filled with liquid, and I suspect that the engine block / cylinders, etc, would fill with liquid seeping in through the valves long before they'd collapse.
