    I just received my new Hot Wheeles 250 GTO & it is a poor quality version of the BBurago car. The doors, trunk & hood pieces are misaligned & the 2 front brake vents are hideous-nothing like the real thing. Neither had the blue seats - but, oh well.

    I just bought a Hotwheels 1/18 430 and the quality, detail and paint are the best I've seen on a Hotwheels....maybe they are improving with time!!!!

    They are. Earlier Hotwheels were not great, recent ones are pretty good and miles ahead of some of the things Bburago produced (chromed engines). The 250 GTO from Bburago is one of their better models though.

    Venus1: Blue seats are a piece of cake to make. I painted them myself for my 250 GTO Spyder.
