To compare the two is really comparing apples and oranges considering how much time passed, and how much the industry has changed, between the production of the two cars. Both were reasonable values when introduced into the markets they were competing in.

That said, I wish that AUTOart had put out the 'long nose' back when they did the 'short nose' as the added detail of the new car is great but I could have lived with the detail level of the older car.
