  I've compared both before... The minichamps one is heavier and feels more well built than the AA one... plus... leather interior... Hehe... Very satisfied with this one... =)

  Minichamps - Plasticky looking brake rotors, real leather makes the grains look too big (1/1 leather on a 1/18 car) and incorrect greenish 'carbon fibre' in engine bay.
  AUTOart - Extensive use of plastic (not good, makes model very light), slight colour mismatch between bumpers and body (for the silver one), and incorrect carpeted trunk (real car is leather trunk). But they fixed the trunk issue in the later releases, apparantly..
  That is my personal review of the 2 brands.
  Pics (Red = Minichamps, Silver = AUTOart):
  Sorry for the crappy pics, taken long ago..

  Only heard of AA doing it in white... but between AA and minichamps, I still rather get Minichamps...
