For some reason GM is addicted to that big 3.8l engine. I guess they have it figured out and it's cheap to just keep making it. It is nice and torquey, but Buick will have older buyers as long as GM doesn't offer something in that price range comparable to the G35 (3.5l, 260 normally aspirated horses). -juice
#10 of 14584 1:43 scale models by rsholland Mar 25, 2002 (12:31 pm)
I've never cared for models that small. I've never found the detailing to be very good. It's just too small to get it right. Although, these models look pretty good for 1:43. I much prefer a larger 1:18 scale model. BTW, I saw in London in Sloane Square, a few years ago, a gorgeous British Racing Green Jaguar XK SS, like the model displayed. Bob

AAK! Still no Forester models. I've seen countless catalogs and not one single Forester model! Yet it's the 2nd best seller in the lineup, what gives? -juice

Looks like I've found a home for my often meandering, off-topic discussions... Thanks Karen. Bob

is listed as coming out soon. I want one. Also hoping for a Forester model. John
#15 of 14584 Are all those models shown 1:43 scale? by rsholland Mar 25, 2002 (12:47 pm)

#16 of 14584 AutoArt 1:43 Scale by jei Mar 25, 2002 (1:00 pm)
model range has the largest number of cars, including Legacy wagons! There are a few Imprezas also in the 1:18 scale series. AutoArt makes beautiful stuff.

John, was the 1/18th listed somewhere?

Bob: do you have today's AN yet? Lutz is talking about ditching the cladding on all Pontiacs. Can you believe the stuff on the Avalanche costs $750?! They will make it optional, apparently. Though it's designed that way, so they'll have to change the sheetmetal to get rid of all the cladding around the wheel wells. Also, the Cayenne is supposed to cost about $67 grand. They're only forecasting 12,500 sales per year, not a hard to achieve number. -juice
