Full range of Holdens.

[Commodore]

How about Biante make the full range of Holdens?

You know, Barina, Commodore, Rodeo etc.. I would sure as hell snap 'em up... tell me what you think.

PS: The same goes to all you Ford fans out there.

I doubt they'd sell. I mean, how many people would collect barinas, unless they owned one. Same with say, an executive commdore. There is nothing special about them worth collecting and i dont think biante would make enough money to cover the huge cost of making it.
I, personally would only buy a standard everyday common ol road car model if i owned the actual car. Thats just my opinion anyway.

[Malik]

chances are wont be done.....

[chups]

you forgot the holden cruze :)

minichamps do the barina, astra, astra coupe, astra convertible, and combo, and maybe the vectra in 1:43, i dunno how well they sell.
and biante are doing some std commodores (vr and vs) also in 1:43, as for 1:18, i dont think they would seel although id buy them being holdens

[wayno]

Yeah go for it. Maybe you want a Piazza as well. :rolleyes:

[Nick Short]

It does seem that in bigger markets like Europe, manufacturers make models of some of the most mundane, run of the mill cars, and they sell, but maybe in Oz the really ordinary cars wouldn't do well. But as has been said before I'm sure things like panel vans would sell, so one day non-motorsport/muscle car models will be made.

Tell me, do you think BIANTE would be able to sell 25,000 ZAFIRA's, cause thats how many they have to sell to make money on it.

Thought not.

[Odin]

doesnt minichamps make an opel corsa model?

Why not!!?? And while they're at it, build a 1:18 Gemini Panelvan, then I can do a custom of my mates first car, Piazza powered van!!!! A little screamer it was, and lot's of fun to drive.

But seriously, none of them cars will see the light of day in 1:18 by Biante, it isn't feasable to spend 100s of thousands of $ for the mould, then only make a few thousand cars out of it, they'd go broke real fast!!!!
