A nice, plain jane car and Motormax has done a very good job with it. No extra tampo nonsense and nice treatment of the lights and smaller details. |

@ Daivd - I think I'm really excited to see Greenlight will issue a Dodge Dart and Chrysler 300 sedans later this year. The plain jane sedans are a delight to see in the scale. Same holds true with this Toyota. |

Not my usual cuppa, but I do gotta say the little details are quite nice. The wheels are so-so, but for a buck and under car that is forgivable. I wonder if Matty is listening? Eh...I doubt it. So the coast is clear for makers like this, Suntoys and Welly to continue making remarkably accurate models for the size and price. |

I have this in metallic blue, without any of the nice HL+TL detail. Picked it up at a Flea for a quarter. Still have plans to compact derby it at some point. On a side note I always like Corolla twin the Prizm better. Especially the Lsi models. Friend in college had a metallic green Prism Lsi, and it was a great car. Took snow like a champ, but loaded down with 4 adults on the interstate was a bit of a challenge for the car. |

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!

The perfect diorama car. Parked or moving, they make a street scene LOOK like a street scene. You could paint a dozen of these in different colors and they'd all look typical. I wish I had two dozen, but I have ...NONE!

It should come as no surprise to anyone who knows me here, that I love this car. Great everyday car. Motor Max had a great lineup of Toyota models. Corolla, Camry, Celica, Supra, Tacoma, Hiace van, Land Cruiser/Lexus LX450, and the Lexus LS430. They must have got the bulk discount on licensing! Here is my collection of Corollas. I have wheel variations on the green, metallic blue, and bright red versions. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Because these Motor Max cars most often came in multi-packs, I ended up with a few extras. I turned a couple of spare Corollas into hubcap-less cars. ![]() |

That dark red is striking. And from Motor Max no less. Always fun when diecast can be customized to imitate real life. Toyota Corollas and Chevrolet Cavaliers are the cars that almost ALWAYS seem to be missing hubcaps. |

Very cool casting... Dean, Motormax also had the Lexus LS400 that was inherited from Zylmex... |

I've not seen the red or burgundy in person, but I'm lucky enough to have the others shown. The hubcap-less variaton cracks me up… |
