Did they give a reason?

So all the models on that list are cancelled, or just the 1:12 Vettes?

"Maybe AutoArt can produce them and Mattel exclusively can't."

Yeah, and in the 2-1/2 years it takes them to do it I can save up the $600 it'll cost for one!

No tears shed here Mattel Hotwheels big scale Vettes, 1/18th and up really look like a hunk of crap bad fit and finish, wrong colors used on parts, shnit size wheels, bad roof lines, no attention to detail at all A total waste of money

You can't go wrong with AutoArt, UT, Kyosho, Lane, GMP or Exoto. These are the higher end more detailed diecast in 1:18 scale. ERTL is the most popular.

If they are giving up on the 1:18 scale then I'm sure Autoart is taking it over the production that is of 1:18 scale C-6 cars at least this is what I hear.
