Apart from the Chevrolet ambulance, the excellent range of Neo models appears to only cover models up to the year 2000.
I notice, however, that there is a 1:43 scale Infiniti SUV in the Neo range. Does anyone have any idea whether there is any chance of seeing that model in 1:87 scale?
I wonder if there is any chance of seeing other modern vehicles in 1:87 scale from Neo? I am not expecting to see boring bread and butter economobiles, but unusual modern vehicles may be a basis for Neo 1:87 scale models.
The kind of vehicles that come to mind in this regard are as follows:
Jaguar XJ
Range Rover Evoque
Nissan Juke
Honda Civic "R"
Nissan Skyline GTR
Ford Focus ST
I am sure fellow forum members will have a wide range of possible additions in this regard. Hopefully, someone from Neo will be taking notes as well.

Yeah I hope for the Infiniti, too. I think everything is possible. I could even imagine New bread and Butter Cars from Neo. But your List is Great. I'm also writing a List to send it to them and all these vehicles are on my List, too.
I think they said at some time that later they would possibly bring New Cars, too.

Dear All:
As far as I am concerned, NEO is doing the cars I wanted so much for a good while - the series of large American Cars and I been getting some of them in 1/43 scale. Some of the Lincolns, Chryslers, Buicks, Fords they are offering no one bothered to issue them, so I am quite happy with that. If they bring the 1972 AMC Matatdor Sedan and 1979 Dodge Saint Regis, I will be more than happy with them as I am with the 1974 Ford LTD sedan or the Gigantic 1976 Chrysler Town & Country Station Wagon. Or the 1974 Buick Le Sabre and my beloved one, 1978 Dodge Monaco (already got the Sedan and CHP version of it). The other vehicle off the charts that I will get is the Monteverdi which is based on the International Scout; talk about of an almost unknown one. If they bring these puppies to HO, very good.
New one? 2012 Ford Taurus Interceptor or Holden Statesman/Chevrolet Caprice.Maybe.I detest today's bean looking vehicles.

Jeffh, Given the model size restrictions that Nissan has (which is similar to GM’s rule), it might be hard for the SUV to make it to market…but let’s hope that I’m wrong! Tony F. |

All,
The 1996 Honda Prelude Mk4 has been announced as in-stock (item 87415). If anyone knows of a source where this great looking model is currently available, please let us know.
It’s great to see this modern Japanese replica coming to market by Neo!

If anybody has inside contacts at Neo please tell them to consider being sold through Walthers just like Brekina did. It's all about exposure, and many people have not even heard of Neo over here in the states I'm sure.
I would love to buy the 1996 Honda Prelude but if it involves 8 or 9 dollars for shipping, forget it. I would love to be able to walk in my local shop and buy some Neo products. My shop is very open to new manufacturers in HO as they are one of the few RPS dealers in Illinois. Also, I would like to see a US version of the Chevrolet ambulance with modern, generic graphics with all red and clear lenses. Also, all US vehicles should be made in HO from 1/43 scale!

Dear Vito: I already asked Burbank House of Hobbies about them and they do not intend to bring their range of vehicles (including the ones in 1/43 scale) to their store. I got the Monacos from eBay, from a Hong Kong dealer with iffy reputation (most which carry NEO are these guys) but I had no issues when the vehicles arrived. I prefer,however,as you, buy from local sources. On case of NEO this is not possible as of now. Nick K |
