Hi Mark,

Thanks for the heads up. Unfortunately, most of these are models that won't
make it to these shores, but I'm a car nut, so I like to look anyway. I'm
looking forward to the near future when we will see the resurgence of the
sports car. The Mustang is stronger than ever, and although GM is killing
the Camaro/Firebird, I would bet you they have something else up their
sleeve (or will re-release them in a new body design). Nissan is bringing
back the 300zx, and Toyota is bringing back the Supra. Mazda plans to
release some kind of successor to the RX-7 in the near future, and the
quality of cars is going up across the board, IMO.

It's a new golden age, I tell ya!

~Mark
