I updated this answer. Previously, when logging in for the first time with a new save, you would immediately get notified of any additional content, but now I have confirmed that this is now broken. Logging in no longer enables any extra content (cars or events). I posted another answer with more detail below.
Hello,
Thank you for your reply, but I don't really understand it.
At least allow me to give back the process I go through
- I clean my games in the document folder
- I start up a new game and I login to Autolog
- I do the first race using the GTR
- At the moment to buy my first car, the Nissan Silvia S15 is not available, when it was before.
- Even if I go to the car shop it is not available.
Actually I notice that because it was nice getting it since the price was 0.
Does this information make sense, or did you mean something else ?
If so, could you give a bit more details ?
See you,

I've since confirmed that this is now broken. When you first login with a new save, you should get notified of any additional content you paid for at the time of login, but this no longer happens and the additional content is no longer added to the game, even though you've paid for it. This also affects content from special promotional deals, like the Dr Pepper Camaro.
In addition to deleting profile\default.sav and starting with a new game, I also have over 80 career mode saves I made before I ever logged in. In the past if I ever logged in with any of these career mode saves, I would get immediate notification of the additional cars and events that were related to my buying the limited edition of Shift 2 and the Dr Pepper Camaro. Now it no longer works.
I also have saves after I logged in which do include the additional content and they still work, except that the password for these saves is invalid, and I can't change it, because the password I used doesn't follow the new rules for passwords. You used to be able to change the password if it was invalid, but EA changed this so that also no longer works.
Another bug that I and other players have is that some of the events crash to desktop if the PC is connected to the internet. This has been reported at Steam and other forums.
