Who wants a model car of their Altima Coupe?

[Sith LL_Coupe]

I would love one but I'm going to be the "Debbie Downer" here and say it's probably not in a manufacturers interest to go through R&D for a product that doesn't have the potential to at least sell 10's of thousands of units.

Still, I'm all in Can't hurt to try!

Don't be such a pessimist! You wouldn't believe how many Altima Coupes I'm seeing on the road these days (even 3.5s!), I'm seeing at least 2 a day now....

When the 2010 comes out soon (and hopefully with some new stuff that everyones been b****ing about), I think this thread will gain even more movement into possibly becoming a reality.

Only if they sell me a model of my own customized car that comes with light up djmaxentropy kickplates.

werd i want strobes underglow and interior glow

[Sith LL_Coupe]

LOL, I'm sure you'd do that to your model car, even if it didn't come with it. You'd find a way to get some ozniums on there and a battery source

[Andy_G]

I am totally in. I am working on starting a collection for my son. Got a Dodge Viper, a 58 Corvette, and a Mini Cooper so far.

[dom_cull]

Got a reply from Revell, one of the manufacturer's... no dice....

Quote »Dear Mr Alexander, As already written to Mr Ferguson Revell will not realise a Nissan Altima. Japanese cars were never realised in 1/18 scale by us. We have alwasy and will also in future concentrate on European cars. With best regards

fsho

underground 2 had the best options for modification and incorporated the best drag racing in a video game thus far but i didnt really care for the suvs lol. nfs after that has been on a decline. still like playing them though

[2008AltiCoupeDan]

I TOTALLY WANT A DIE CAST OF MY CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i even have a silver 08 350z in my dash cus it looks almost the same lol

[LongBeachCoupe]

Make sure you are sending the emails!

[Ferguson]

Got a reply from Revell, one of the manufacturer's... no dice....

Yeah, I wrote to them all. They were the only ones to respond so far.

[TrueFaith]

I want Tamiya to make a 1/18 plastic kit of the A/C soooo bad. Of all the model companies out there, they're the ones who will probably put one out first, but the wait is killing me!

[Sith LL_Coupe]

And the list shrinks....

Quote »Dear Mr. Alexander: Thank you for your interest in Exoto high quality and detail models. A new 1:18 scale project can cost anything between $250,000.00 to $300,000.00 today, depending on quality and number of parts. This also requires 12 to 18 months to complete. Unit cost will be extra. The Nissan Altima Coupe is not in our current program. In order for Exoto to be interested in developing this model, your club must foot the charges for the development. A minimum of $100,000.00 thousand will be required before we start. Please let me know if you are interested to pursue this project with us. Again, thank you for your interest and trust in Exoto. Best regards,Tony P. KeusseyanPresident, Exoto Inc.[/quote]

[Bmore-coupe]

........ so are you sending them the $100,000?

[mcheddadi]

........ so are you sending them the $100,000?

eff them.

[JSPADES]

Actually, the illiterate fart who replied said $100,000.00 thousand, which would equate to $100 million.

Still, I agree. Eff them.

Extra two zeros are cents

but still eff them

[JSPADES]

Yes, yes, you are correct, the extra two zeroes are cents, but look more closely:

Quote »A minimum of $100,000.00 thousand will be required before we start.[/quote]He says one hundred-thousand THOUSAND dollars … which I am sure was simply poor proofreading, but nonetheless … … eff them

[headhunt3r]

It just sounds like a nice way for them to say "eff off"

[BrianAdams03]

I'm pretty sure it is suppose to read

Quote »A minimum of $100,000.00; and thousand will be required before we start.[/quote] Deposit maybe? Or 1,000 models will be required to be ordered? Either way doubt it'll happen. Would have loved to have a blue coupe sitting in my office.

[JSPADES]

Actually, I'm content to take Mr Keusseyan as a person not thoroughly accustomed to the processes of proofreading or delegating the draughting of letters to secretarial staff.

Of course, I could be totally wrong, and it's just as likely that he intended to say that a deposit of $100,000 AND a pre-order minimum of 1000 units would be required before they would consider the proposition.

Having a history in my youth of being a plastic model geek, I wouldn't even mind if a plastic replica model kit were available. I'm no stranger to model cement

[TrueFaith]

Take a look at some of these Tamiya Nissans. Maybe you could modify one of them into an A/C? With all the Nissans they currently have it's got to be only a matter of time before they give us the A/C.
