It's such a favorite that I've got it in 5 colors. In the photo above, the cars are arranged in roughly the order that I bought them, left to right. The first 2 on the left are my favorites, with the fourth brown one my least favorite. 
It's a wonderful casting, wide and broad, heavy and weighty, with nice detail all around, an opening hood, and occasionally with rubber tires. The up-close photo below shows how nice the grill and lights are. The grill alone is one of the reasons its such a favorite casting.
Interestingly, Hot Wheels also did a model of the same car, and while its lighter than the much more expensive Johnny Lightning car, its a very similar (and correct!) size - a nice car but with less expensive detail. The last 2 photos below compare the HW and the JL cars - as you can see they are very similar. Both are favorite cars of mine from their respective brands. 
Feb. 27, 2016 Update: With Johnny Lightning's supposed "re-launch" of the brand, I found this color variation in a new blisterpack last week. Given my love for this casting, I bought it... Pretty Nice!
