Yes, Maisto is by far the worst. AutoArt is amazing. I just got a Hot Wheels green Murcielago on eBay for $20 (it is a $30 model). The detail is in between Maisto and AutoArt. Should be pretty cool.

Maisto isn't bad

Whats the deal here? Maisto is by far, from what I've seen, much higher quality than hot wheels. I just bought a saleen s7 that only has opening doors and a window. No suspension and the wheels barely turn (the maisto lambo barely has wheels that turn to I admit) The interior of hot wheels stuff is about on the level of maisto but I wouldn't say maisto sucks. Also the hot wheels lambo has strange proportions that don't quite looks right in comparison with pics of the real car. Of course they both are blown away by autoart...

I have compared the HotWheels Murcielago with the Maisto, and Maisto is horrible compared to HotWheels, let alone AutoArt. HotWheels has the opening rear vents and their paint colors match that of Lamborghini closer than Maisto. Maisto does make some hard to find die-cast cars, but in my oppinion, HotWheels is much better.

I can see what you mean by being dissatisfied by the lack of opening rear vents but I personally feel that maisto has a little better paint job (not neccesarily the color) on it's cars and they all also have the suspension which is an added goody. And my biggest argument against hotwheels being better than maisto is the lack of choice on colors. The lambo by maisto has a host of colors wheras the hotwheels has the nice, but solitary, green

I'm definetly considering buying the autoart version since everyone seems to like it. :smoka:
