Tamiya Releases More OMG

The new TA05 looks rad with a set of pink Skyways. The Endless 370Z looks unfortunate. The 240Z is love at first sight. There has been talk that the touring car segment is fading. People are saying it has "teched" itself out of the reach of normal hobbyists. I can't disagree. I think one problem is that most of us just stopped playing in parking lots. When you're zipping around a parking lot with a few friends its fun. It doesn't matter if you're running the latest and greatest or an old reliable. The other problem is the automotive culture in general is seeing a dip in popularity as well. Remember RC cars are scale models. Without a strong "car lust" people are less inclined to build scale models of them. While other manufacturers abandon one segment to chase another, Tamiya will buck the trends and make awesome kits forever. I hope.
