I'm thinking of buying a Hot Wheels Elite Ferrari. What is your opinion of these new series and are they worth the increased price? Would you recommend any particular model over another. Your comments appreciated.

Ken, they are worth your time. Please check out some of the reviews we've done of the Elite line
I reviewed the first model in the line, the F40, and in this reviewer's opinion, it is an excellent buy. Richard Sufficool has also done reviews on several other Elite Ferraris. Sure, you can pay more, but if budget is a concern, the Mattel Elite Ferraris are just what your wallet ordered.

To echo Patty, the Elites are generally worth the bucks having much better paint, glazing, parts count and mixed media upgrades.
The Super Elites, however are generally way overpriced due to a lack of dedicated tooling
