The Mustang II is a Mustang too!

![]() Today's car of the day is Matchbox's 2008 Toyota Prius. ![]()
![]() For more information and pictures of the real car please visit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Prius ![]() The license plate says it all- "715 7R55N" = "GO GREEN". And while it may not be apparent yet, fuel economy's the name of the game this week: going green in honor of the recently ended "Cash For Clunkers" program. No, I wasn't a fan of this program- some nice cars ended up clunkered. Regardless of your feelings on the real car, this is a nice casting. ![]()

Sooo - is it better than the Tomica? I'd say about 90% of Tomica quality at a far lesser price. Just judging by the pictures because I haven't got the MB one yet. |

Found this one several weeks ago. A nice casting of a newer common car. |

I haven't personally seen Tomica's, but this one is very, very good. |

Both castings are very good but the Tomica has a painted-on rear window which I hate, which makes me want to like the Matchbox more. |
