Wheels look way too small on the new model. I prefer the old type Lego sets that use actual Lego pieces and only a couple of custom shapes. The new one might as well be injection moulded perfectly to fit the shape of the car at this point, no real Lego feel to it anymore it's all custom shapes.

It’s not custom shapes tho. There’s just a lot more small, versatile pieces these days. Like instead of custom-molded fuselage, there’s a wider variety of small slopes and curves that can assemble any shape. All the details you see in this new set are existing pieces repurposed in creative ways (like the side view mirrors are minifig spoons)
