    New Test Drive Unlimited 360 Cars

    Test Drive Unlimited continues to live up to its name as six new cars are added to the already impressive roster of vehicles available in the game. For 350 live points, less than the cost of four Guitar Hero songs, you can download Test Drive Collection Volume 4, which grants you access to:

    • Dino 246 GT, Ferrari Challenge Stradale
    • Cadillac Cien
    • RUF RK Spyder
    • Lamborghini Murci lago Roadster
    • TVR T440R

    Players can also download the Saturn Curve for free. I'm still holding out for my 1996 Nissan Sentra with a bad oil leak and nasty front end damage, but I doubt the devs have the time to create the stalling at red lights functionality to make things truly realistic.
