I wish they have matador red, plus $65 is still on the expensive side for a 1:18.
I can get other car models of the same size/quality for much less in one of our local supermarkets. They don't carry all the models though, not sure when they'll have the IS350 available . . .

Wow very nice, I might have to order this. 1/18th scale is large enough for enough detail, and auto art usually does a very nice job on their diecasts.
www.hlj.com usually has a lot of cool japanese model kits available (1/24th scale, plastic models)

That is easily the best model I've seen so far. If only they had other colors! I might order one anyway... Nice find! BTW, I found this on one of the eBay listings:
"This replica is 100% true-to-scale and very realistic. Therefore owning it is like owning the real car. The only difference between this replica and the real car is......."It won't run!"

BTW- I have never ordered anything from either site I have linked to, so please don't order anything from these sites based only on my links...
