All the other genre on site seem to have their 'what do you want see in 2013' thread, so why shouldn't the auto buffs amongst us?
My 'wish list':
1) Classic british cars bought up to date - the old Airfix 1/32 scale examples and Revell "Cadet" series are long in the tooth and well past their sellby dates; if you can find them without taking out a mortgage
a/ Ford Zodiac, Mk1 & 2 Escort, Mk1 Cortina, Capri etc
b/ Morris Minor (not the Mini!)
c/ Vauxhall Cresta, Victor
d/ Aston Martin DB4 (plus GT and Zagato versions)
e/ Most of all - an MGBGT!
All in right-hand drive please - they weren't all sold overseas!
Over to you folks - there must be loads of great cars that haven't been seen in plastic or desperately need an upgrade.

Well Dave this is an interesting one and my wish list would be for the following in 1/24
Ford Falcon (Ozzie V8 supercar series)
Holden Commodore (Ozzie V8 supercar series)
Ford Granada Mk.III and IV
Toyota Hilux pickup both standard and double cab versions
Mitsubishi L200/Trojan pickup both cab versions
Hummer H2
Lastly how about some european trucks in 6 x 4 versions i.e. twin drive axles
That's just off the top of my head

I'd love to see the 1953 Ford F100 pickup with a side mounted spare tire. The old AMT release is difficult to find, and could use some updating. Not true cars, but some old farm tractors would be nice-John Deere, International, McCormick Farmall and Ford.

Yes, I'm with Littorio on the Aussie Ford Falcon.
also, Checker Taxicab (four door). The style years that look like a '56 Chevy.
The NEW Chevrolet Silverado HD pick up
1965 Dodge Coronet, 4 door, hard top
I'll take any of those in 1/24-1/25 or 1/32-1/35

I would like to see more late 1920's to mid 1930's luxury cars, like the Duesy, Bugatti, Hispano Suiza, Minerva, Delage, Delahaye etc. etc.
Would also like to see a good quality 1969 Fiebird. My brother has a 1/1 and I would like to build scale model of his car.
Last but not least, more aftermarket parts would be very velcome. Wheels in particular.

I second that!
I'd love to see some models of the machines that fascinated me in my youth: bulldozer, backhoe, road grader. To this day I tend to slow down, or even stop, to watch heavy equipment working construction zones.
