It's a 1:18 scale Audi A8. I bought it because the fact that the rear doors open is cool to me. Quite detailed, not bad for a $9 model.

Lovely. I love models of everyday cars.

Right interior color. Odd that it's the 3.8 rather than the 4.2.

Me too. The Costco by my house had quite a selection of diecast cars, all on sale. I even saw a model of a 6th-gen 4-door Honda Accord!

This is the biggest detail they overlooked. I don't think Audi ever sold an A8 with a 3.8L engine.

They sold it with a 2.8 and a 3.7, but never a 3.8.

There were so many models I wanted to buy but the balance on my card was low :(

I'm definitely going back during Thanksgiving break with a pocket full of cash. Hopefully all the models I wanted are still there (though the sale ended today so they'll be $13/ea again). The Costco by my house had a model of one of these (same color too):

I only have one 1:18 model right now. :( As Jeep Jeepster. I used to have a Mini Cooper but it was built very poorly and the doors feel off. I really want to make an effort and buy three of my favorite cars. Then I'll be happy.

What are your favorite cars that you want in model form? I can look for you next time I go.

Not sure yet! Thanks for offering though. What brand does Costo sell?

They have Motormax and Maisto.

Okay. That's what I thought.

It's nothing fancy but for $9-$13 it's pretty a good deal.

Agreed. What other 1:18 cars do you have in your collection?

I picked up a 1950 Ford Convertible (Maisto) and a 1st-gen Lambo Gallardo (Motormax) from Costco 2 weeks ago.

Yes, another Chicago-area Opponaut!!! The University Village Costco on Ashland has lots in stock. The one in the Lakeview neighborhood had a few left about 2 weeks ago, but they might be out.
