    I'm looking for an 1:18 scale model of a prius, either second or third generation.

    I just need it to have a few things, like actually seperate bumpers, wheel arches and doors. Lots of parts anyway. Not a store link, I just need to be made aware of such a model and the brand that makes them.

    Umm... Let's say yes. I like Italian cars, especially their design, because you cannot find an ugly Italian car. And I generally like European cars more than American or Japanese, cause IMO European cars have something like soul.

    Multipla.

    The average Euro car is just as soulless as the average Japanese or American car, just smaller, worse-equipped and cheaper.

    Multipla isn't ugly, just unusual. It's very practical, especially for taxi usage.

    I never said it was impractical, just that in the quest for practicality it lost some looks.

    Why worse equipped? Let's compare concrete examples: 1990 BMW 3-Series and 1990 Mazda 626.

    I think it's evident.
