The Breakdown:

My Favorites here are the El Camino and Honda Civic, the dark blues with flames are both sharp and they are solid casting choices for this line. The green on the Volkswagen is beautiful, but the casting is the worst of the 8 here. The purple Nissan is also sharp.

These are hitting Target Stores now, so get out there and get them, and as always, Happy hunting!
