Pretty sad, what?
I mean, look at the length of this thread already.
A bunch of people would appreciate a Maxima model
- more than just the people in this thread -
and yet it seems nobody makes one.

Allright Lime, time to start the petition...

other questions:
Scale:
HO
1/43
1/25th etc.

Type:
Diecast kit
Diecast finished
Resin kit
Plastic kit

So we have a poll.
Then what?
Send a list of our names/requests to toy/model companies?
March in front of toy co HQ?

Not trying to harsh yer mellow...
Just wondering what we can do.
Maybe they would see us as a vocal minority representing
a larger, "quite" market?

Maybe I'll start hand carving them out of soap
and selling them on the org.

Count me in..

I'd pay up to $60/$70 for a 1/18th 4th gen.! (So long as they came in white).

third gen, SE, in grey! but before the 1992 one because i think those tail lights look better. but with aftermarket rims and perhaps a body kit!

OOOhhh.. my dad had this exact car when I was back in Hong Kong some time ago. It was even the same color. It shouldn't have the yellow fogs at the bottom of the bumper because it's intergrated into the headlight units. It can actually have 6 lights shining at people

And those the high beam and low beam are crystal lights like the ES300 but that's 12 years ago!

wow neat...sucks that it got smashed tho

okay well, as far as scale is concerned...the normal scales diecasts come in are 1:18, 1:24, and 1:43, and to be honest, if they made a 4th gen in ANY COLOR and ANY one of those sizes, I wouldn't care!!!!! I prefer 1:18, but 1:43 is more popular for the sedan stuff.
