Just a friendly reminder for everyone. Producing 1:24 scale cars is not a "one-size" fits all venture.
It's okay for all of us to have and want a personal favorite car, favorite body style, favorite year, or even favorite color.
But we all need to bear in mind that when a company takes on the task of producing any car, they are looking to please the vast majority of the potential collectors that will purchase it.
If they were to attempt to just make cars at ever one's whim, it certainly would not be cost effective. Making the best return on their investment is bottom line...the bottom line.
All of us need to be sensitive to this when offering OUR opinions of the cars we want.

The question was put seeking a response from Forum members to discuss cars they would like to see as models. That is as far as it goes. It is doubtful that any of us realisticaly expect to see our choice roll off the production line anytime soon - or more realisticaly, if ever at all, but it was nice to be asked and its been fun to engage in the process.

+ 1 Bruce, well put.

George and Bruce are both right. Let's take a second and be grateful that ...
... someone is willing to try some new 1:24 ideas.
Michelle has told us that '2' 1:24s are being planned for.
We were asked for input as to what they might be.
There are no wrong answers.. just different answers.
If we don't get 'our' wish now - it might come later.
(knock wood)
Let's be light-hearted 'now' and enjoy the process.
Besides...it's probably going to be a while before our credit cards are called 'to duty'! LOL!

There you have it everyone, in Michelle's own words, THEY are listening to us and respecting our suggestions. We all have a voice in what will likely be produced. THANK YOU Michelle!
We all need to be positive, patient and respectful with our suggestions ("Wish Lists") and if this new venture receives acceptance and can prove profitable, we the collectors are the benefactors.
This can be a "win-win" for all of us!
