Hello all,

As the geek I am, yesterday I brought my 8448 car to the office and this
morning the 8880.

We would not agree over which real life cars were closest to each. I know
neither are licensed products, but what real life cars do you think they are
closest to?

The 8448 reminds most people (including me) of Ferrari, however I was told
Ferrari's engines are in the back (although you can easily fit it in the
back of the 8448)

The 8880 reminds most people of Rally cars, due to 4x4x4 and the jacked
wheels. One of them even said Pontiac Fiero 1991! :)

Opinions?
