That's because we don't propagate this hobby aggressively enough to make the plastic model division of Tamiya profitable. Don't just buy kits for yourself, but send model kits to your friends and relatives for birthday and christmas. :)
Anyway, I just want Tamiya to make two kits in 2004. The Mercedes SLR, and Carrera GT with Enzo qualiity. Rest can be taken care of by Fujimi, Aoshima and Hasegawa, and Revell Germany.
Fujimi needs to be much more quality oriented like late '80s, and release the modern MB, BMW etc. The return of Ferrari license should generate some cash.
Aoshima needs to expand their lineups to the exotics.
I want Hasegawa to continue releasing the classics master piece, after the Miura.
Revell Germany has a potential, if they can pull off the Enzo kit at that perfection.
And we have to buy more kits.
Ferrari F2003-GA (Got the AMD kit)
Mercedes SL500 (rebulding the Welly diecast)
Porsche 966 GT2 (modifying the tamiya 996)

Good luck!
I'd like to see:
A JGTC series (if even at the expence of engine detail) like how US manufacturers to NASCAR
Um, that's about it I guess.

This is soo true. I don't know why this is?!?!?! The Prelude is my favorite Honda, second to the NSX. not even the Gran Turismo series has the Prelude in any form, while they have such stupid cars as Lupo's and Vitz's !!!!! im 17 and i hope my first car is a 5spd. Prelude, preferably the 5th gen.

Kasso, Revell will be releasing an Escalade kit, and I'm quite sure it will be as good as their excellent Silverado kit. If I'm not mistaken, Escalades use a Northstar, correct? Revell has also tooled this engine before, in their quite pleasing Shelby Series 1 kit.
Don't worry, you oughtn't need Tamiya for your Caddy SUV kit.
What I'd like to see Tamiya tool up, to be frightfully honest, is more of their sports-race car kits. Indeed I'm sure everyone is wondering where the 550 Maranello GTS is (especially after the Le Mans victory) but also there's the question of the Saleen S7, the Pagani Zonda, the Spyker (yes, a Spyker), the Mosler MT900, the Ferrari 333SP (we've waited long enough for this one and a compatriot Riley & Scott), the Morgan Aero 8 (competition or street version, it doesn't matter), the Oreca Viper GTS, or any one of the competition TVR's.
At the least I'd like to see some more reissues. Their GTP/Group C line-up is sorely missed.
Because I can't (in good conscience) purchase and personally justify a Studio 27 or Le Mans Miniatures resin super-kit, Tamiya is the company I turn to for accurate representations of modern sports racers. I can deal with the others for street cars.

Amen to that. Tamiya has pretty much established that this model you speak of is well within their capabilites. See: Enzo, Opel Astra DTM. I think they should do a series of F1 inspired cars, they started with the Enzo, now go to McLaren, hit up the Bugatti, the Jaguar, and perhaps reissue the NSX... ha! And really, amen to the rest of your list, too, good picks.

99+ has the 1ZZ-FE or 2ZZ-GE, and so far, no one has made them.
Tamiya's 94-98 Celica does have the 3S-G engine, but it looks a bit too simplified.

May I second and third that :D
I've got so desparate I'm having to rebuild a Maisto F1! But a Mclaren F1 with detail like an Enzo would be amazing, and I'm sure would sell even better than the Enzo.
Personally I bought my Enzo for the detail rather than the look of the car(although its growing on me :D ), so an F1 model would me the ultimate!
I would also like to see:
Lamborghini Diablo SE30
Tuscan Speed 6/12
