|  | Hi, 
 Im very impressed by those two official 8-wide LEGO models (7990 and 7998).
Both are very nice and also detialed (to this scale) trucks. My question is -
can we expect further 8-wide official models from LEGO ?
 
 Thanks.

 Peter,
 
 It looks like the answer to your question just appeared in a picture posted on
Brickset.  The Summer 2008 lineup will include an 8-wide truck as part of the
new Coast Guard line.  The name translates to Coast Guard Beach Truck with
Speedboat.  It looks like a set with excellent play value and some great new
parts:
 
 
   
 The truck features the new 2/3 x 2 x 4 curved slope bricks, new shallow wheel
wells in blue, and new hinged panels in orange.  Im not sure if the balloon
tires are also a new design.  The boat trailer features some unique parts for
the fenders.  The boat itself appears to have a hull of a new design and color -
orange.  Looks like a great set!
