I am collecting diecast auto toys, and feel that recent model use a lot of plastic material. I found that new MINI use a plastic all over, while old MINI had iron instead. It could be justified in view of price, but felt sorry how quality of car has been sacrificed in a decade.

OK yaseusa, I've split your question from the "A pittance defined" thread. Let's see what other members think.

If you were making a comparison between the quality of Model's and the REAL MINI, please let me know and I'll revise the thread title.

Cheers
