AutoArt is really fast, and they make the best 1:18 diecast auto models. I wish they also make TSX, G35 sedan, RX330, E90 330i, TL, W211 E-class, Evo IX MR, RL, new GS430, M45, E60 M5, and LS430.

I read the article and noticed that also! In the article they said that Manufacturers actually commision AutoArt to build models. I bet that's how they got the new S class so quickly. Also explains how the Saturn Vue got to be chosen as an AutoArt model. AutoArt is pretty high quality.

Maisto is pretty damn good also. They may not be as quick as to release but the quality is undeniably high. Alot of my cars in the past have been from Maisto, like the newest edition to my model family, the CLS500...

I am an avid die-cast collector and I can tell you with certainty that "generally" Autoart makes a better model then Maisto. Having said that, Maisto on occasion will make some pretty good pieces, particularly if they are dealer models.

That picture is from a Car and Driver article. Sweat chops? That is an UNDERSTATEMENT. The owner of the company called it a prison were the inmates were free to come and go. How does $3.50 for a 12 hour day grab ya? But that's HIGH compared to what you can pay in Vietnam. There, $2.00 for a 12 hour day is the new benchmark.

Yes, they are pretty fast. The car hasn't even been shown at Frankfurt yet.
