Maybe its because despite the UK (and EU) being one of the most successful and influencial regions in RC, the only bodies we get are Jap and US, or no-name wedges that take RC further away from being recognisable to the guy on the street (or even off-road drivers to TC).

and BTW, the BTCC currently has the:

BMW 320si (E90)
SEAT Leon TDi
Honda Civic Type S
Lexus IS200
Chevrolet Lacetti
SEAT Toledo
Vauxhall Vectra
Vauxhall Astra Sportshatch
Honda Integra Type R

and more, yet there's hardly any representation of those in 190mm. And I know that Dale did the MG ZS, and the first version of the Vectra (which was mega popular over here at the time - until the Mazda 6 came along).

I guess all that needs to be done, is figure out a way of designing 5 or 6 different shaped bodies that all handle identical....
