Actually, looking through the 2002 catalog they offer 31 plastic kits. Of those only 13 are older kits (pre-1995)

Yeah, good point kinda...Import tuning and racing in the states is big and growing every day. Of their 18 'new' kits, only one or two are of related Japanese cars. Revell missed the boat badly w/ their current line-up. Even the kits that are supposed to be released will still be in 1/25 scale. If they do ever produce more 'tuner' cars, nobody outside the US can get them @ a reasonable price b/c their distribution system is awful. WTF is that? And the fit and finish on Revell cars is crap. I mean, why the hell are the wipers molded into the freakin' windshield on the ITR? Why do the decals look like shite? I know why... their parent company is Binney and Smith, who are also the producers of the popular Crayola Crayons. Probably the same technology used in production. Tamiya all the way. No questions asked. I use my Revell ITR to put fireworks in and entertain myself.
Sorry for the ranting but I hate Revell cars (lots of bad experience w/ them)
