Default Re: Interest in New Trucks??

Any American truck would be great, but the one thing I wonder about is this. Why aren't there any other offically licensed Tamiya North American replicas, besides the Ford Aeromax? Why are all the European models exact licensed replicas? Are the American companies just that hard to deal with? Or do they simply demand above and beyond premimums for the license? Yet we have plenty of diecast, and plastic models, of Peterbilts, Kenworths, Macks, ect. Does Tamiya think they'd be poor sellers? Is their market mostly European? I just find it odd. There could have been a nice Freightliner, but instead it was the Knight Hauler. Meanwhile, Wedico has the license for Peterbilts and Freightliners. I don't get it. I would have to guess Tamiya just doesn't think there is a market for these American models.

Something makes me think that Harley Davidson would want the most money for a licensed model, above all others. No?
