Oooh. I like 'em. I'd usually pick a sedan over a hatch, and Mitsi over a Subi. But dang the livery on the Subi suits it really well.

I quite like the Subaru but the front end is a bit wrong and the front number plate, in two halves, looks rediculous.

The recent cars, including the Manta, come with Alu. hubs at the rear. From the photos I'd say that the Mitsubishi has the same but I'm not so sure about the Subaru.

Really nice cars! The Subaru might be my first Avant Slot car!

Are these made in Spain ? I remember them announcing they'd bring back their production there.

Yes and that is good of them, but my 2 pug 206's always had problems throwing wheels. The motors are too powerful for plastic rims.
Also for the price i would expect screw wheels.

I hope so because they make beautiful and fantastic cars, and the wheels are the only thing i can complain about.
I do love the rallyraid cars

Love the Subaru, looks fantastic.

I've not raced and Avant Slot cars but have a few on the way although I don't think they will be digital friendly, time to find an analogue track for a while :-)
