Granted, I've not seen one in person, but here's my review just from the detailed pictures I've seen (found them on an eBay Auction, link at the bottom of my comments).
Body
- Car isn't "round" enough. It's too slab sided. Granted, this is a challenge of working with diecast, and even the Ertl 1/18ths suffer from this too. The 1/43rds from Hot Wheels are the only diecast models I've seen so far that get it right.
- Same nasty seam on the front of the fenders as the 1/24th scale Monagram kits have. I understand this is a necessary evil because of the shape of that area of the car, and the limitations of producing a diecast model. However, they could have at least done a bit better job working the dies to that seam didn't stand out SO much.
- It has a seam on the lower quarters as well. This is the ONLY model of this car, plastic or diecast that I've ever seen designed this way. It looks terrible.
- The rear valance isn't the right angle, and is oversized. Makes the back of the car look completely wrong
- Neither the roofline, c-pillar nor backlight are the right shape.
- Front bumper is oversized, and the front valance is undersized, throwing the perspective completely off. Grille emblem is also oversized.
- Strobe stripe is neither correctly placed, nor of the correct dimensions.
- Simply terrible execution of the marker lights.
Chassis
- No body color - everything is black.
- Black transmission, driveshaft and gas tank
Engine Bay
- All black with no body color
- Drastically out of proportion emissions decal
- Completely wrong washer bottle.
Interior
- Wrong door panels. I believe what they have used are a 72 design.
- Poor execution of the instrument cluster.
- Entire Dash isn't the correct shape
- I believe they are attempting to model a Strato-vent car, but neglected to paint the vents on the dash black.
- What looks to be a silver pull on the ash tray.
-Out of scale shifter handle. Though to be fair, pretty much all models have this issue, and at least it looks like the car has a manual transmission unlike the Ertl models with the Pistol Grip inside, and a 727 below.
Trunk
-If they were going to have this poor of execution, I'd have rathered they not make it open! The opening isn't even the right shape
- Wrong jack, and wrong jack placement.
- A spacesaver spare!?!? Even it's not in the right place.

Sure, a lot of what I see could be called "picky", but for $120 list price, I personally expect some quality, and some accuracy. A few minutes of research could have seriously helped this model.
