Oops, you meant $1.99, right?
Fuzzy math, I see.
Just read this from Joystiq post from yesterday and don't confuse everyone.

That looks a lot like the Ecto-1 from Ghost Busters. LoL!

Yes, Pumapayam, that was kind of the whole point. We know they're based on movie cars, but there'll be the inevitable "hey look they're ripping things off" comments when WE ALL KNOW they're based on them anyway!

Damn shame about that siren... They got the Kitt's whooshing sound and a lot of other things spot-on about the other cars...
I think the Delorean should light up all crazy and blue along the sides when you hit a certain speed.
...They shoulda shown the cop car biff it on the jump too...

They have to get as close as they can without violating any trademarks. That might have gotten too close.
If "Land of Dixie" wasn't such a popular horn sound, they probably wouldn't have been able to use that on the "Bootlegger".

I have yet to play Burnout, from al the reviews I've seen, it just looks like a crazy driving game, but yet they say there is a bit of realism. Ah, I find that hard, I'll be awaiting GT5 with the new crash damage physics they promised to implement.

If you're looking for realism, move along. Burnout is about boosting and crashing.

There no excuse for not playing it yet! Seriously! :-P It is SO good!
Though you mention realism and I guess if you don't like any "arcadey" feel in your racing games, perhaps you may not like it.
But really... this is the best racing game out there at the moment! To me anyway, but I am not big into "pure realism" racing games.

Shame there's not some sort of way to let people sample these new-fangled game programs. Sort of like a short preview or demonstration that lets you try it out.
We could call them sheviews and give them away for free so people will get hooked and buy our products...

Ya, I'm a fan of realism, I was into arcade street racing, aka Need for Speed stuff, but as the one guy says, it's about boosting and crashes... not my style, I'm more or less interested due to it's popularity. Maybe I'll give it a rent, actually I will give it a rent

Richards, if true realisim (as far as a video game goes) give Race Pro on Xbox 360 a go or rFactor or the SimBin racers on PC a try. You'll soon realise the GT series is a long way for realisim.

Consider this purchased, alongside noby noby boy. At this juncture, it feels like criterion has given so much and stretched a $20 game so far, that it feels like they deserve my money. They haven't been nickel and dimeing, but instead making quality products. I'm looking forward to flying my new DeLorean DMC-12...er, Jensen P12...online.

I'll be getting Evey single DLC. Criterion Games deserves the money for all the free content they've been handing out to us the past year.

Well, those videos saved me $4. I wanted the Delorean, but figured I'd just spend the $8 and get all 4 cars. The General Lee ripoff isn't even orange!! I'll pass. I don't care about the Knight Rider one anymore either. The waving light needs to be red. I realize they do stuff like this to not be sued or something. I'm just less interested now that I've seen them. I never cared about Ecto-1.
The Delorean looks 100 times better in motion than I thought it would. The flames are so cool. That one I'm so getting.

Yea the Delorean and the Ecto-1 look sweet, but the other two don't look like much more than reskins.
I'd probably get the 4 pack anyway, better value.

You can change the Calvary Bootlegger's color to orange.
