Conclusion

I got my Kyosho for around 70CAD and the Autoart for around 60CAD. The Autoart was recently re-released (Feb/06) so it should be easy to find everywhere. The Kyosho was recently released as well, but it seems to be quite popular and is flying off shelves. For the prices I got them for, I think both are worth the price. Both have their hits and misses, so I cannot really recommend one over the other, as it all depends on what you deem important. If you want a better exterior, go for the Kyosho. If you want the better rims/wheels combo, go for the Autoart.

Summary and Scoring :: AUTOart

	Exterior Older release means painted lights in some areas, but the full perforated grills are nice.		7.0
	Wheels and Tires Great rims and brakes. Callipers could be more detailed. Undercarriage is boring.		8.0
	Interior Decent details, gear shifter is especially good. Hard plastic seats annoy.		7.0
	Engine Good engine.		7.0
	Score (weighted average with emphasis placed on exterior and interior)		7.2

Summary and Scoring :: Kyosho

	Exterior Side windows and better lights really put this one over the AA in this category. Paint is a bit worse thoughdetails.		8.0
	Wheels and Tires Good rims, bad brakes. Undercarriage is just as boring.		6.0
	Interior Slightly better details, working features are cool.		8.0
	Engine Not detailed enough, at least add some wiring, Kyosho!		6.0
	Score (weighted average with emphasis placed on exterior and interior)		7.3
