I want the white and blue-grey one!!! Where can I get better images? Amiami and Rakuten only has tiny pictures!
Every site has the same tiny pictures right now. From the CAM@ models I have there is no URL for a manufacturer web site so, unfortunately, you might have to wait until it is released for larger pictures.
Hobby Search always has good quality photos of models so maybe bookmark these?

Diecast makers have never paid attention to real world colors before. Even for concept cars that were only made in one color. This is a bad time for them to start.

Swedish partwork series (Atlas) news:
Saab EV-1
these are probably factory sneak outs.

Mine arrived yesterday. Its..... OK. The wheels are probably a little small but otherwise its pretty good and anyway what's the alternative? Even the mighty concept model makers Alezan, Ban Seng and Yow have never had a go at this one.

Man, you're quickkkk!!!! Did you get it from China or the original release from Europe? Of course it's not the nicest model, but as you say - the only option at the moment.

I got it from China and it was really cheap - less than £12 so I'm not really complaining. Griffin models were planning to make it, as well as the Novanta and Phoenix but if they'll ever materialise they will be expensive. I'm keeping my fingers crossed they'll be added to this range.

The Ev-1 is not very "Saab-ish" is it ?

Well the Abu Dhabi police now have one of their fleet. If this gets rolled out worldwide they could soon become a familiar sight on all our roads!

I found some decent sized images on kidbox. Unfortunately the model isn't without issues... The rake of the bonnet is too steep and the sill under the doors way too thick. The waistline should be thinner as well. (Ignore the fuel cap, my image is mirrored. Also mine is not a hardtop, so the C pillars are different) I also can't remember ever seeing a Passage GT with highly polished chrome wheels... They should be normal silver...

There's something weird going on with the rear numberplate garnish as well, the bead that runs above the taillights and garnish should form a perfectly straight line - in this pic there's some weird break in the line...
C43032-3.jpg
I'll still get one as it's the closest model in 1/43 to my car that exists.

I don't know where to post this... Very attractive oddballs, will probably be of interest to a few members although they might suffer from the same sticker shock that hit me. The first batch is Norev/Provence Moulage, I don't know what the last one is but judging from the nostalgic appearance of the box it seems to be a reproduction of some sorts. Prices are EUR 100 each, the last one was 40.
Apologies for the lack of photographic quality, shot in a shop window through the glass. First two pics untagged because they don't pass the forum size check.

Those
are oddballs. I see "Savon Ambré Le Chat" for sale on eBay for a mere $270.08+.

(But with a little searching, one can find it for less than $30.)

They are so odd, they're in their own category. Would make a nice display, 'historic advertising vehicles'.

That's a stunning truck - the other Formica version is even cooler. Pricey though, but luckily I've managed to stop myself from collecting trucks (so far

).

Looks like you mean Mk 2 'Tina. Which would be very welcome as I know of no previous 4 door versions, despite the fact I have never seen a 2 door version until about 5 years ago. Kimberley would also be tempting. Need the dollars to get closer to that Parity they were all talking about 4 months or so ago.
Cheers

No idea on a website for CAM@. The models I have do not have a URL or any details for that matter. Hobby Search has the most CAM@ model listings that I've seen so far:
