Post by camthecanuck »

I am kind of keen to get a metal model like my actual car (base Vibe in Shadow grey). Has anyone seen such a thing, especially in Canda? Manufacturer? Retailer? Cost?

I've done alot of searching on Google for both plastic model car, along with diecast manufacturer's and I haven't found any that have a Vibe or Matrix. I cannot locate the web page now, but I was on one the other day that let you fill in a form that supposedly would be forwarded to a bunch of different model manufacturers, noting the model/year you would like to see produced. I filled it out requesting a Vibe, but haven't received any e-mails back yet. (this was about a week ago)I saw a Toyota Voltz (export version of the Vibe/Matrix) model a couple months ago that was on Ebay. Evidently the NUMMI plant gave them away to their workers.http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 1784548553
