Re: Camaro images were leaked by toy company.
A few things I thought about the Camaro Toy idea.
If they send them thoes pictures, I assume that they were sent to the toy makers BEFORE the so called 11th hour redesign. Someone figured afterwords that, "Well since there is a new design coming out, why not just show this picture to a friend of mine that likes Camaros." and thats how the chain started.
As for the Zeta pictuers....I have no answer since most of thoes toy cars have just black bottoms, unless this was to be a detailed car with correct Zeta suspension...and if thats teh case, can we get them AT NAIAS, and RP can you sign mine??
LINE STARTS BEHIND ME *****!!

Re: Camaro images were leaked by toy company.
Could Scott maybe confirm whether or not there will be a collectible die-cast car of the concept coupe available soon after NAIAS? Regardless of whether there is or not doesn't mean that it was leaked by a toy company (someone could've easilly just used a toy company as the scape goat since they're not "in the automotive business"), but if there IS going to be a diecast car of the concept coupe, I'll have to save some extra cash to purchase one or two.

Re: Camaro images were leaked by toy company.
With a concept like this, I think GM may be releasing a Camaro die-cast 1/18 inch shortly after the debut.
When I went to the C6 debut we all got one. Limited, etc. Although once again the C6 was production, this vehicle is not.

I didn't know concepts ended up as toys 'til I saw a "Belair" concept, GOOD quality, die-cast, over this holiday shopping week...it was a dark red one, very detailed...at first I thought it was just a T-Bird.

Any company that experiences several years of negative cash flow (e.g., GM) finds it difficult to spend money on "non-essential" capital items. Hence, the likelihood that such a firm might use off-the-shelf graphics software and not opt for the relevant security software.
