Default Matchbox Toy Car Fail

While at my local Kmart today here in lovely Queens, NY I decided to stop by the toy section, I always love to check out some of the cars they got, maybe i'll spot something I want but can't help but notice these two Matchbox cars.

new Lexus GS 430 VIP?

That was always the problem with matchbox, even though they are both made by Mattel, Hotwheels were always the higher quality cars, but Matchbox always made more models based off of production cars.

You could always tell which was which because the Hotwheels had a certain "heft" to them which you would never find in the Matchbox, plus the detail always sucked with the Matchbox.
