I like the Mazda. But I too would like the see the first version of the generation. It was a very pretty car indeed

The Mazda is cool but I'd prefer the Autoart. Better specs, diecast and full opening. Of course at another price point but still.

I have a red Kyosho one, oldskool Kyosho in a window box. I like the car for the no frills look. I do have modified ones though.

That's pretty cool! I do like a rally Manta!

The Manta seems to be replacing the earlier announced Monte Carlo Alpine, strange.

I just wish the rx7 wasn't yellow 😕 I'm just not a fan of yellow cars 😖

I'm not impressed by the shape of the Manta.
Yet again I look first at the windscreen and A pillars, and yet again I see a mess.
And I suspect the whole roof is wrong (too narrow).
The IXO sealed diecast - which isn't perfect - is better in relation to roof area as a whole.
Even the ancient Revell is more impressive to me.
Plus point?
Nice colour scheme.....

You could well be right, but it's photographed from such weird angles that it's hard to tell!

Agree but I do like this body style. Would prefer a blue Spirit R RX7 with the BBS wheels.

 

[slartibartfast229]

For comparison.

Definitely a metallic blue would look awesome 👍

The pic of the rear is the hatch rather the break I think. I quite like the break.

Will be getting one of those McRae Manta's. Had hoped for it to be Heat for Hire to match the Chevette and Sunstar Escort, but still, it's a McRae car.

Definitely a metallic blue would look awesome 👍

Like this (the blue isn't quite right)

 

[Robbo1983]

Oh yes please 🤩

Discover the second model which is part of Club OttO for the month of April 2022!

See you Thursday to discover the third model for April!

Pre-orders open: early January
Deliveries scheduled for the end of April
Price: 69.90 € + shipping costs

I would wait for the Norev version of this.
All open and diecast.
I have the metallic blue version, and I think it's very good indeed.

It’s coming in red too from Norev. I’ll be adding that one for sure. Looks like Otto changed the wipers. I seem to recall they looked a bit wrong on the earlier cars.
