    Exoto.

    They've been promising USD$250 Ferraris for the last two years.

    Enzo to 250GTO to 275GTB... a whole dozen different models.

    When they will actually deliver?

    I would love to know myself. I'm so sick of inferior products with the Ferrari name on them. Hotwheels making Ferrari "models" give me a break.

    The 1:12 Enzo (to me anyway) is over priced and not very impressive. The Kyosho 1:10 F40 is nice..but could be much better..I have yet to find one that does not have numerous assmebly flaws..such as the headlight covers with smeared glue etc. But it is an overall very well proportioned model.

    I must say one thing though. I have 2 Exoto models in my collection and they are extremly nice...But I think the CMC is far better..although more expensive. The only problem..they only do German. To bad becuase if they ever did a Ferrari it would be a beautiful model.

    Exoto models are fantastic. Very well done. But those CMCs seem to be on an even higher level of detail. They do have that ferrari listed in their online catalog though, don't they?

    You should see CMC's latest release...the Mercedes Mclaren SLR in 1/18 and 1/12 scale !

    The 1/18 scale itself contains 890+ parts...and comes with a wealth of details not seen in models previously for the price point !!!

    Tom (sarcastic response here), maybe because Enzo wouldn't want his customers sitting on plaid?

    Thats what I thought. And since I'm a dealer I was wondering if I should be expecting my shipment soon. I wouldn't be suprised if it gets further delayed.
