    Good looking model, but that dash looks like play dough.

    The dash looks kind of nasty, and I would really want the other rims.

    That interior is nasty, looks like they took a weed wacker to it.

    I think I'd stick with an Elite California rather than the Super Elite. Mattel really shouldn't have tried to replicate the full leather interior on this one, the dash on the lesser Californias looks better, so if anyone wants one, I'd suggest forgoing whatever additional detail is offered on the Super Elite California and look for an Elite instead.

    I mean....what is really the difference between an elite model vs. a super elite model anyway?? I'm very sorry people, I don't mean to be picky and a ****** but this super elite models interior is hideous!! The interior looks like a wrinkly jeans that needs ironing.!! Even the rims are bburago quality already. What is up with Hotwheels??
    Correct me if I'm wrong. Whoever has the 1:18 Ferrari Hotwheels Elite SuperAmerica, and the 599 GTB Fiorano. Look at their interior now. Do they look like this super elites California interior?? Call me names I don't care but I won't even accept this car even if they give it to me for free. How much is this super elite? $200 plus? Waste!
    I just hope that the 1:18 458 Italia's interior will be better than this.

    Thats why I buy the 'stocko' 1/18 Hotwheels models. :D:D

    The extra money for the "Elite and Super Elite is not worth the extra coin if you ask me. :p:p

    I had both an elite and super elite Superamerica and the super elite was much better than the elite. Much much more detail, with that said though I only about $90 for it, not the $250 some are asking.
