Honda all the way!!!!!
Picked this one up over the weekend. It's a really well done little diecast car that looks spot on and has a full tampo hit. The only downside to this one is the typical Maisto lack of interior.

And a few pics of it with the Matchbox BMW 1M. One thing seeing them together highlights, for me at least, is how Matchbox dropped the ball by not putting the BMW badge on the bonnet and wrapping the tail light tampos around the side onf the car. It completes the look of the front and rear of the car but sadly Mattels bean counters won out in this instance.

They did a great job with this one. All the lines are very crisp and the details are nice. So many cars these days have such dark window tinting that the lack of interior doesn't really bother me much as it still looks pretty realistic.

Personally I prefer an interior but if the model is well done otherwise, like this one is, it won't stop me from buying it.

The casting/mold looks good compared to some of their bargain models.

Now that's interesting that you post a Maisto version that isn't blue!

Can't say I've seen a silver one before until now, so great find and great comparison for sure!

The BMW is well done by Maisto.
