Best: Mitsubishi Evo VI and Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR. Great to see an Evo done right and boy did they nail it. The CLK is just plain cool, especially in the D2 deco. Most Disappointinh: Aston Martin Valhalla. It’s just horribly proportioned and lacks the aesthetic that the real life counterpart has. I won’t blame you for voting for the Baja Bouncer though. It was a close second for me.
Went for the Evo 6 as my favorite since I've been wanting a casting of that for some time and I think they nailed it. Also voted for the Mk2 Escort since my dad has owned a fair few RS2000's and I've always loved Escorts. As for most disappointing it has to be the Valhalla. It doesn't sit low enough and the arches are too small.
The two Toyota SUV’s were my favorite. The 4Runner is one of my favorite real life vehicles that aren’t muscle cars so when I caught wind that one was coming out I was excited for it.
The best premuim for 2021 in my opinion is Toyota red starlet is a beautiful design representing the eighty In all is glory I have to imagine the will do more color and wheels with this cast.
For me the Audi S4 and the Evo 6 are my favorites. I was waiting for a older gen Evo to come to Hot Wheels. Also the Audi S4 (B5) is one of my favorite cars in Real Life and the replica looks nice! For most disappointing model: Aston Martin Valhalla. It's just a bad replica; the heigh is off and so on.
2 votes for best? Not enough. Lol. So many good ones to choose from… Best wud be merc red pig, landcruiser 60, charger FF, custom nova n escort 1800. Honourable mentions: audi s4, Cherokee trackhawk, merc clk n starlet. Worst wud be the Valhalla. Not a particularly good looking hypercar irl , designed even weirder in diecast form. At least Baja bouncer is still realistic n well proportioned but here’s hoping that this will be the last unlicensed model moving forward. Cheers
Big fan of the Ford Escorts, these cars were very popular here back in the day and still is. I got the set you mentioned about. I totally love it. Awesome videos as always. Keep it up.
been away now I'm back! Hi John, good to see y0u r well. I love the late 60's early 70's Novas. I just picked up the most perfect casting, card '09 faster than ever, SS, 502 black n gold. The most beautiful presentation I've ever seen.
I'm fine with unlicenced cars getting the premium treatment, just as long as they're not packaged as a Premium Car Culture set. Traditionally this has been reserved for vehicles with some form of history or significance. For that reason, Baja Bouncer gets my vote for the most disappointing new model. I've picked the Toyota Landcruiser and the Lancer Evolution VI as equal best on the basis of realism. While they aren't nearly as detailed as more premium collector brands, for Hot Wheels cars, these are still stunning models in their own right.
A little upset you did not include the E46 M3 as it was not included in last years polls since it was released at the very tail end of 2020 and you noted it would be a part of the 2021 voting. It would’ve been my pick for casting of the year.
1st personal favourite this year is the Red pig because im a sucker for benzes swag. The Toyota Starlet seriously surprises me, wasnt thinking to highly about it when it was revealed but the porpotion and shade of red they went with is *chef kiss*. Worst for me gotta go to the Valhalla. Hotwheels still struggles alot with hyper cars and their super defined, slender exterior features. Otherwise, a great year for collecting. Oh and how do you feel about HW going forward with chase model in upcoming Car Culture mixes ?
First off. The pictures you take are great. I'd be lying if I said that the quality of those pics doesn't sway the voting just a tad. A lot of great looking cars Drag racers rule for me, but my favorite comes from The Boulevard series. . I'll have to think about most dissapointing, but it won't be none of the race cars.. I don't need my cars to be licence if they look good so I won't be flaking on Baja Bouncer either. I do also prefer Novas and muscle cars with Flames. I don't anticipate too many JDMs so the good news is that won't be my most dissapoining either. What to choose what to choose.
Hey John. Earlier in the year, you were talking about possibly doing a new category for store exclusives (Zamac, Target reds, etc.) Are you still thinking about doing that?
I think this is the hardest to choose a winner because it's so much variety in this category imo. I guess it comes down to which vehicle type you like the most. Easy to pick worst/most disappointing though, the Aston Martin Valhalla Concept and the Baja Bouncer takes those for me either or.
most disappointing for me was the volvo amazon, i LOOOOVE the car and cant believe hot wheels actually made one, but why did they make it a 2 door and put that disappointing caged interior in it?? UGH. I also dont mind the baja truck being generic, those trucks typically are, like stock cars just a generic body.
Best for me the 3000GT,i would live to see a 99' version of that car,with the big rear spoiler and shark front bumper.Also i would love to see a Mitsubishi FTO GPX,first gen Eclipse,more second gen Eclipse version and they could also use the third gen Eclipse cabrio to make Roman's car from 2Fast2Furious
Hi, HW actually made a Eclipse cnvt. many years ago and I am surprised they did not use it for the F & F line. Thanks-Smith' Hot Wheels guy' Die cast Bham Al.
@@Shan_____s Hi, maybe they would if enough people would contact them or they might as they seem to try to get the most mileage out of these cars and I hope they make the '91Impala that him and Tej was in the one when they went back to L.A. in .Thanks
For me, red pig and bronco R. Because they showed way beyond quality & detail than their price tag. The worst is that disgraceful floss Supra. I usually pick up every new HW premium models when I see them in stores, but Supra was one of few that I did not.
My choices for best new premium casting are the Mercedes Benz CLK GTR and Custom Dodge Charger from F9 both do a great job of capturing the look of the real cars. My choice for most disappointing would be the Aston Martin Valhalla, some how the proportion and angles don’t look right to me and I’m not a fan of the real car either
I had to vote to times for the best models (sorry lol). This year was something else for the premiums releases. My votes for the bests: Mercedes CLK GTR Toyota Landcruiser Mercedes 300 SEL AMG Mitsubishi Lancer For the most disappointing: Aston Martin Valhalla It was just terrible made, its not even fair to compare with a nice model just because was not licensed
The Evo 6 Bumper is totally different to the real car, the real car has an asymethric bumper with one hole on the left and no hole on the right because there goes the license plate, also it has an air outlet for that hole only on the left but the hotwheels symethrical
i'm sure you probably said, but is the C8R from team transport not included because it deputed as a mainline? i'm a ford guy but the new C8 is a really really awesome casting!!!!!!! so if I could pick that one as a fav two, I would for sure. I guess I can vote for it in the mainline best of. great video, thanks.
My ex-stepfather had a 1972 Chevrolet Nova SS, but it was done in Kelly Green in real life, as well as a 1970 Chevrolet El Camino SS. Also, will we ever get a Yenko Nova, out of curiosity?
I live in the southeast USA I hunt for hot wheels alot and the truck set did not show up around here at all. Last years truck set did the same. This is truck country hot wheels what's the deal?
Between the distribution woes and the scalpers, I only got to see maybe 4 of these on the shelves. I voted for the '70 Nova SS and the 78 'Scort as my two faves. The Nova model was just so clean and refreshingly well done, and the Escort model just looks fantastic and well proportioned. I can't wait to see it come out in a more stock version too. I actually voted for the '18 4Runner as my most disappointing. The styling does not translate well to small scale, and the mostly it's just not an interesting casting to have.
I voted the Evo and Custom Nova best. Mitsubishi was long overdue for a good casting. It was between the Custom Nova and Hellcat Widebody for my second vote. I love the Hellcat Widebody’s in real life, and had it been a Challenger Widebody instead of Charger it would have got my vote. I love Novas and it was cool to see one slammed and wide bodied instead of the traditional Hot Wheels rake and big rears. The Baja Bouncer is the obvious choice for worse. Car Culture should be licensed models only. I would have rather had a poorly executed licensed model like the Aston than the Baja. It’s sitting on the pegs for a reason.
Voted for the Merc CLK. Just a fantastic model. Perfectly done. The worst for me was the Aston Martin. The real car is okay but the casting just looks so egg shaped and heavy.
The wide body kit on the Custom Chevy Nova is way too clunky, and gets my vote for most disappointing. The Baja Bouncer is an excellent replica of Baja style racing truck, that's why it doesn't get my vote for most disappointing. The P220 Amazon Wagon and the 70 Nova SS got my vote for best. Also really like the Stratos and the Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR.
Anyone that voted for the Baja Bouncer only "bEcAuSe It'S uNlIcENsED!" while the Valhalla looks like shit, I think you don't get the point of the vote lol

I had to vote for the AMG Mercedes, the red pig, and for second the Volvo. Both just utterly beautiful castings I would love to own.
For me the best one was the 1997 Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR, but I know for many it's gonna be one of the Toyotas, specially the Landcruiser FJ60.
Worst is Baja Bouncer and Valhalla. Chose Baja Bouncer just to say that unlicensed models isn’t wanted in premium unless they’re popular
Best: Mitsubishi Evo VI and Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR. Great to see an Evo done right and boy did they nail it. The CLK is just plain cool, especially in the D2 deco.
Most Disappointinh: Aston Martin Valhalla. It’s just horribly proportioned and lacks the aesthetic that the real life counterpart has. I won’t blame you for voting for the Baja Bouncer though. It was a close second for me.
agreed on the Valhalla! I like the original car by itself, but the model is just not right as such ...
Went for the Evo 6 as my favorite since I've been wanting a casting of that for some time and I think they nailed it. Also voted for the Mk2 Escort since my dad has owned a fair few RS2000's and I've always loved Escorts.

In all is glory I have to imagine the will do more color and wheels with this cast.
That Toyota starlet does it for me. Just so well done. Second would have to be the Mitsubishi evo VI
For me the Audi S4 and the Evo 6 are my favorites. I was waiting for a older gen Evo to come to Hot Wheels. Also the Audi S4 (B5) is one of my favorite cars in Real Life and the replica looks nice!

1. CLK-GTR - All around best.
2. 4Runner TRD PRO - Personal favourite.
3. EVO 6 - Coolest one!
Big fan of the Ford Escorts, these cars were very popular here back in the day and still is. I got the set you mentioned about. I totally love it. Awesome videos as always. Keep it up.

Volvo P220 Amazon estate is #1 for me, great casting.
I didn't buy it for my collection but the Evo 6 is easily my top pick for the year! They absolutely killed it with that one!
Favorites = Volvo - Mercedes AMG - Dodge Charger - Lancia - Chevy Nova
Ford Escort - Nova SS - Baja Bouncer - Mercedes CLK - Land Cruiser
I'm fine with unlicenced cars getting the premium treatment, just as long as they're not packaged as a Premium Car Culture set.

Ye indeed i have the er6 and 36 on my wall
The CLK and Sauber C9 easily take the top two slots. The most disappointing has to be the Valhalla. The proportions are way too chunky and off
I'm sure they've got a remodeled version coming out, at least I hope.
@@carsofsouthernmaryland4066 hopefully. If they decide to do the production version of it
For me the best is the Toyota starlet hands down second Mercedes D2👍🇹🇹🗽.

For me the bests are the lancia stratos, the mercedes 300 sel, and the bronco r
The 1978 Ford Escort. Sweet details. Hands down.
Best: Lykan and 3000GT
Worst: Baja bouncer and Stratos

All the new Dodge cars were All bad ass
Hey John. Earlier in the year, you were talking about possibly doing a new category for store exclusives (Zamac, Target reds, etc.) Are you still thinking about doing that?
The Nissan Skyline set.
And for loose model, the Mercedes CLK GTR from Car Culture set.
Rote Sau + Amazon for the win!
I think this is the hardest to choose a winner because it's so much variety in this category imo. I guess it comes down to which vehicle type you like the most. Easy to pick worst/most disappointing though, the Aston Martin Valhalla Concept and the Baja Bouncer takes those for me either or.

Agreed. The color ruins the looks of it.
For me, Amazon is one of the best Hot Wheels :D
Best for me the 3000GT,i would live to see a 99' version of that car,with the big rear spoiler and shark front bumper.Also i would love to see a Mitsubishi FTO GPX,first gen Eclipse,more second gen Eclipse version and they could also use the third gen Eclipse cabrio to make Roman's car from 2Fast2Furious
Hi, HW actually made a Eclipse cnvt. many years ago and I am surprised they did not use it for the F & F line. Thanks-Smith' Hot Wheels guy' Die cast Bham Al.
@@darinsmith4414 Yup,i know they have the 3G spyder,i got one also but i don't understand also why they don't make Roman's car
@@Shan_____s Hi, maybe they would if enough people would contact them or they might as they seem to try to get the most mileage out of these cars and I hope they make the '91Impala that him and Tej was in the one when they went back to L.A. in .Thanks
My vote: best:
1. Mercedes 300 SEL 6.8 AMG (Red Pig)
2. Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60
Worst:
1. Baja Bouncer (i hate Fantasy Cars)
I think u should review the special collector edition case holiday cars!!
17:59 the old clk from hot wheels was the clk-lm, lm and gtr has different chasis
yes can’t wait ,,, thanks for sharing bro 👍👍
For me, red pig and bronco R. Because they showed way beyond quality & detail than their price tag. The worst is that disgraceful floss Supra. I usually pick up every new HW premium models when I see them in stores, but Supra was one of few that I did not.
I got the 3000gt because it looks exactly like my car. I was so excited when I saw it
Would have voted for the Red Pig and the Supra! 😊
Crazy but my favourite was the first Volvo wagon and least was the last little red Toyota. Wish I had these cars in my area. How much are they? $
That FNF Dodge Charger is an peg warmer at my Walmart
The Baja Bouncer looks like the F150 or Tundra TRD Score racing series Trophy Class racers.
Love your videos 🔥 especially the hot wheels premium ✊🏻
My choices for best new premium casting are the Mercedes Benz CLK GTR and Custom Dodge Charger from F9 both do a great job of capturing the look of the real cars. My choice for most disappointing would be the Aston Martin Valhalla, some how the proportion and angles don’t look right to me and I’m not a fan of the real car either
Actually the Custom Charger is very impressive.
For a Hot Wheel, the Evo is insanely detailed. That is certainly the best premium model of 2021.
Best for me is kp61 starlet and mk2 escort. They are the only ones ill be looking for.
The best. First Mercedes Benz AMG. Second Mercedes Benz CLk
Best 2- Escort, Red Pig
Valhalla gets my vote for disappointing. Was so beyond excited for it, and it came out looking lifted and tall. Not well done
Slide Street was the name of the set the RTR Mustang is from
I had to vote to times for the best models (sorry lol). This year was something else for the premiums releases.
My votes for the bests:
Mercedes CLK GTR
Toyota Landcruiser
Mercedes 300 SEL AMG
Mitsubishi Lancer
For the most disappointing:
Aston Martin Valhalla
It was just terrible made, its not even fair to compare with a nice model just because was not licensed
Big corvette fan here and I loved the C8r
Mercedes amg red pig is the best
These are good, Imma gonna have to watch it twice!
The Evo 6 Bumper is totally different to the real car, the real car has an asymethric bumper with one hole on the left and no hole on the right because there goes the license plate, also it has an air outlet for that hole only on the left but the hotwheels symethrical
Starlet my Favourite ❤️
Toyota Starlet one love
For me, it was the 4runner and LC60, but I'm a little biased. 👍
I thing corvette drag racer and mercedes 300 sel 6.8 amg are good things
Toyota Starlet is one of the rare collection
the best one is the old mercedes and evo 6 and the worst one is pagani and orange mk 5 supra.
Be nice to see these in the stores😁
lancia stratos good casting
Half of them have not made it to my stores yet.
Wasnt there a BMW M3 premium and a 300zx Premium aswell?
Hmm if I did vote I would vote for the Lycan Hypersport and the custom Nova. most disappointing the Charger
i'm sure you probably said, but is the C8R from team transport not included because it deputed as a mainline? i'm a ford guy but the new C8 is a really really awesome casting!!!!!!! so if I could pick that one as a fav two, I would for sure. I guess I can vote for it in the mainline best of. great video, thanks.
Best: Toyota FJ80 Land Cruiser and Starlet
Worst: Baja Bouncer (non-licensed casting in a Car Culture set? Seriously?)
I come to see the Mitsubishi evo 6 👌
My ex-stepfather had a 1972 Chevrolet Nova SS, but it was done in Kelly Green in real life, as well as a 1970 Chevrolet El Camino SS. Also, will we ever get a Yenko Nova, out of curiosity?
I live in the southeast USA I hunt for hot wheels alot and the truck set did not show up around here at all. Last years truck set did the same. This is truck country hot wheels what's the deal?
For me Toyota Starlet is the best
I'm so happy for these cars, there phenomenal.
I rated the Mercedes the best 2nd is the 4 runner
Between the distribution woes and the scalpers, I only got to see maybe 4 of these on the shelves. I voted for the '70 Nova SS and the 78 'Scort as my two faves. The Nova model was just so clean and refreshingly well done, and the Escort model just looks fantastic and well proportioned. I can't wait to see it come out in a more stock version too. I actually voted for the '18 4Runner as my most disappointing. The styling does not translate well to small scale, and the mostly it's just not an interesting casting to have.
Mercedes race cars!!!
CLK GTR a new casting? Wow i think the CLK DTM from mainline was same as the CLK GTR from boulevard
Amazing collection :)
The Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 6.8 AMG and the '78 Ford Escort RS1800 MK2 were my favorites. The Corvette Z06 Drag Racer was a disappointment.
Evo 🔥
I voted the Evo and Custom Nova best. Mitsubishi was long overdue for a good casting. It was between the Custom Nova and Hellcat Widebody for my second vote. I love the Hellcat Widebody’s in real life, and had it been a Challenger Widebody instead of Charger it would have got my vote.
I love Novas and it was cool to see one slammed and wide bodied instead of the traditional Hot Wheels rake and big rears.
The Baja Bouncer is the obvious choice for worse. Car Culture should be licensed models only. I would have rather had a poorly executed licensed model like the Aston than the Baja. It’s sitting on the pegs for a reason.
Love it watch wttfor on CZcams give him a shout out and support his channel and or send him some tomica vintage diecast to review
The Baja Bouncer may not be a licensed casting but it is a nice casting nonetheless! I don't think it is the worst in the bunch.
Most disappointed one is Baja Bouncer due to non license
What's best for some one is junk to another..
I have the P220
I have the Lykan Motorsport
I have the vette drag Z02
I have the Ford Bronco R
The rest I don’t have
Starlet
Isn’t that nova like the basic Gulf edition?
The Nova Widebody And 68 Widebody. The 68 Widebody is so close to the Speedkore build it is ridiculous. Mini GT should do one just to Show Up Mattel
This very cool amazing cars mister lamley group
BEST 3OOOGT AND LYKAN
Voted for the Merc CLK. Just a fantastic model. Perfectly done. The worst for me was the Aston Martin. The real car is okay but the casting just looks so egg shaped and heavy.
The wide body kit on the Custom Chevy Nova is way too clunky, and gets my vote for most disappointing.

Also really like the Stratos and the Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR.
I pick Toyota Starlet KP61 and Evo6. Details looks dead on along with the choice for the wheels.
Lancer Evo is the best
New. Hot wheels cars okay
So they are ending the fast and furious line without making Vinces 1999 Nissan Maxima? Smh
Anyone that voted for the Baja Bouncer only "bEcAuSe It'S uNlIcENsED!" while the Valhalla looks like shit, I think you don't get the point of the vote lol
The Valhalla is the worst in terms of looking like its real world version.
