Well, there isn't one. At least not until July.
Fortunately, almost all of the manufacturers have outlined their plans for the year in one way or another. Here's the complete list (new tooling), courtesy Marc Schmidt: www.mo87.de/index.php?site=report&val=system&cont=038
While some of them seem a bit reluctant (Wiking very conservative again, nothing much from Busch after a great 2020, Artitec quite restrained) others continue to delight - at least on paper.
Brekina is impressive, with the Fiat 642 racing car transporter (including Ferrari 156) certainly being a highlight, which is due soon. So Ferrari is not off limits anymore: PCX is releasing a Dino 246 (soon) and a 365 GT4 (later). And there's much more on the list, including N.Y. fire engines. Samples of those can be seen towards the end of their official video presentation: www.youtube.com/watch?v=atirlePRlPg
Another one I have come to like is Minichamps, who are still (steadily) chewing through previous' years announcements. They are certainly here to stay and Marc has posted another list of likely candidates that we can expect from them, including a Honda CRX, Lancia Stratos, and '69 Maserati Ghibli. The Teslas continue to elude us because of licensing issues.
I also like that SAI has found their footing in mass production. Years ago I would have scoffed at a Citroen 2CV or Peugeot 204, today I am rather glad that they have a business case there - and the models are nice.
Oh, and this, while not a vehicle, stands out as well! A faithful (if you can call it that) and realistic reproduction of the Simpsons home.
