I like them all. Nice cars if you ask me. And probably collector's items... if not yet, soon. And you can add the Fiero and the Solstice to that list. Call me crazy...

I know this may sound a little corny, but I thinks it's very cool when two members of our "family" can come together like this. Mike's idea and artwork, John's execution. Yep, I think that's very cool.

Don't feel bad... my college days were more than 30 years ago...

I wonder how many "writers" these days even know what "Elements of Style" is, let alone actually use it!

I have to say I'm digging this kit. Not so much the price, but the off-the-wall subject matter. Whooda thunk we'd ever get a new model of a Falcon Ranchero? From the Chinese, fer cryin out loud???!!!

Whew! Ok, then, the Chinese are not completely crazy after all...

I'm glad to see you're taking this all in good fun. As far as correct emoticon punctuation... I never learned that. When I was a kid they didn't have emoticons!!!

I can't disagree with that... it makes perfect sense!

I'm not going to bust anyone's chops if they use "their" instead of "there" or "your" when they mean "you're"... but seriously, didn't we learn this stuff in second grade??? I'm actually pretty surprised at just how common these mistakes are here on the forum.

Very nice! I think you probably made Mike Lomaka's day!

I assume they're adjustable?

Sure it's easy to find... if you happen to be in the habit of checking Revell's website regularly... which most people, I'd bet, don't do. Thanks for posting the news here.

I remember considering buying one back when they were new. I liked the looks, but for reasons I don't remember now I took a pass.

Now that is an excellent question!

Ah, but 30-35 all the time is a little different than 35 all the time... EPA says 26 city/33 hwy. But "your mileage may vary." And usually the EPA was overly optimistic with their ratings until they changed the way they do it to get more realistic results that drivers could actually expect on real roads in real driving conditions. But I guess it's possible you could be getting 35 "all the time," as you said. For the record, I think the Probe was a pretty cool looking car. And I only wish my car got anywhere near 35 mpg!

Whatchoo talkin bout, Willis??? I looked up the EPA numbers. Nowhere near 35 mpg, not even highway.

So how about you clever guys that are in the know about this "big news" post the info here instead of playing games? Some members here are only members of this forum and not any of those other ones, so they can hardly be blamed if they don't know about this big news you're referring to. This kind of comment reminds me of treehugger Dave's "tutorials," where he told people to go and figure it out for themselves...

Learn how to spell, will ya? Everyone knows that there are two r's in "correkt."

Where do you get that idea from?

The difference is that Camaros and Firebirds may have been built in Canada... but they were still Camaros and Firebirds. The "GTO" was merely a Holden with "Pontiac" and "GTO" slapped on it. I think that didn't sit well with many fans of the "real" GTO from years past. It was even sold in some countries as a "Chevy Lumina!" Excerpt from an edmunds.com review: Many of the old car's (original GTO) charms had also been lost in translation, including its affordable price tag. The new coupe started in the low $30Ks -- hardly an attainable sum for young, cash-strapped enthusiasts. Bland exterior styling was another weak point. Power initially came from a 5.7-liter V8, but Pontiac swapped in a larger 6.0-liter V8 the following year. The bigger engine took the GTO up to a cool 400 horsepower, but between the 2+2 coupe's high price and dull styling, Pontiac simply couldn't sell enough of them. As a result, the Pontiac GTO was discontinued after the 2006 model year. From wikipedia: GM had high expectations to sell 18,000 units, but the Monaro-based GTO received a lukewarm reception in the U.S. The styling was frequently derided by critics as being too "conservative" and "anonymous" to befit either the GTO heritage or the current car's performance. In addition, the classic GTO faithful felt further insulted by GM's failure to present a U.S.-built car that incorporated any design lineage from the muscular icons of the 1960s and 1970s. Critics also pointed out the car's high sale price, commenting that a lower price would have made the car's apparent faults far more forgivable. Sales were also limited because of dealer tactics, such as initially charging large markups and denying requests for test drives of the vehicle. As far as the MSRP, I was going by memory... obviously I was wrong. I seem to remember the MSRP being around 40 grand, I guess it wasn't quite that high.

Sure it's pricey... but hey! Free shipping!!!

How so? Looks mighty good to me!

From what I've seen/read, it's not really all that good a depiction of "chrome." Alclad does a better job and is easily available.

Yep, 200x200. If you can make your avatar that size it will display with no problems.

Looks like there's your answer!
