1993 Honda Civic EJ1 Coupe / 1996 Acura Integra DC2 Coupe Hot Wheels have already made the Coupe version of the Acura Integra, but I hope when the time comes around for them to make Mia’s Integra, we can get a new casting of a sedan version to make it accurate to the movie car. She also used a replica of this car as her real life wedding vehicle! Fun Fact: Jordana Brewster, who plays the role of Mia Toretto, didn’t have a drivers license when she was cast in the movie and actually took driving lessons during production. It’d be cool if Hot Wheels were to do this one, to be the only diecast brand to do it correctly. This Integra has been replicated by a couple of other diecast brands, but they’ve all made it as a coupe instead of a 4 door. Mia impresses Brian by showing off her skills behind the wheel when she takes him for a drive in her Acura Integra sedan. I hope Hot Wheels make the Maxima one day as it’s the only car from Dom’s original team that we haven’t seen yet. Its rounded four-door sedan design is similar in shape and I have seen a few customisers use it as a starting point for custom replicas of Vince’s Nissan Maxima. The closest car to the Maxima that Hot Wheels have made is the ’96 Chevrolet Impala SS. In real life, the Maxima was the daily driver of the film’s vehicle coordinator Craig Lieberman, who supercharged and cosmetically modified it. The car’s most memorable scene is when Vince storms out of the Toretto house after seeing Brian at the family lunch, and rips a huge front-wheel burnout all the way up the street. This Nissan Maxima is driven by one of the films antagonists, Vince. They don’t have as much screen time or the iconic status as the Supras, Skylines and Chargers, but they are remembered fondly by the fans and definitely deserve to be part of the Hot Wheels series. Here are a few ‘minor-action vehicles’ which I think would make for a great addition to the Hot Wheels Fast & Furious Premium Series. But the movies are full of cool cars driven by the supporting characters which don’t get as much recognition as the stars. When talking about Fast & Furious, there’s the cars that we all remember.
