Hot Wheels JDM Update: The Datsun 240Z's Then & Now counterpart, and more pics of the RX-7...

A quick update from some of the stuff that has come across the desk:

We figured the Hot Wheels Nissan 370Z would be the "Now" to the Datsun 240Z's "Then" in the Then & Now Series, and it can now be confirmed:

It looks to have the same color interior as the 240Z, as well as a similar light blue stripe.  It isn't nearly as detailed as the 240Z, and it is always a shame that the unique headlights and tail lights aren't tampo'd.  But one will surely join the Lamley Collection.

Also, more pics of what may be the best version of the Mazda RX-7 so far:

Some might not be too fond of the blue windows, but other than that, this model is fantastic.  Great colors and vintage racing design.

We are also hearing rumors of another brand new Hot Wheels casting that many of you will like.  It is definitely hopping out of right field, but picks up where many other cool models have left off.  Watch for it soon...
