Automoblox C9-S berlinetta on sale for $38

It's entertaining how much Automoblox behaves like a full-blown carmaker. The manufacturer of heirloom-quality toy cars highlights a complete line-up of versions to gratify the fantasy of any toddler, and has even begun branching out into niche versions like the go-anywhere X9-X sport utility, A9-S sport compact convertible and high-performance S9-R sport sedan and C9-R sport coupe. Just like a real car manufacturer, Automoblox has apprehended that the discriminating 6-year-old may be seeking something sporty but not as ambitious as the R-line. Thus, it has launched the C9-S berlinetta (MSRP $38.00) to close the gap in between the base C9 and super sporty C9-R. The C9-S highlights a similar extended-wheelbase wooden body and lowered ride height as the C9-R, but loses the high-downforce front and rear spoilers and side sills. In their stead is a more unassuming rear wing and "aluminum" (which are actually made of plastic.) The C9-S also gets a measure of reflective "paint" to replicate a metallic roof and body connectors.
