The youth market really isn't into models. The lions share of people on the market for models are people who were the kid waxing their Caddy.

I agree that they should get on the ball with parts packs and better 2-in-1 kits (for both domestic and import, but espescially import). The future probably will be in imports and cars and parts of that nature. However, the present isn't. We'll probably have to wait for 10, 15 years before our particular automotive interest is reflected in the model scene. AF is not a very good cross section of the model making community, I imagine the average age in here is around 20, where the average age of the entire model making market is closer to 40, or 45.

But anyway, yes, I do wish they made more kits that I'd want. But I just don't forsee it happening, or really see it making a lot of financial sense for the companies.
