Premium-X - 1:43[/h] Premium-X will release in the next weeks the four models they have already announced last summer. They are however to my surprise not even featured in their
catalog for 2013. My guess is that more models already available in the
'Volvo Collection' will show up in the future as slightly improved versions in IXO's and/or Premium-X standard program.

We can certainly expect a few more Volvo scale models from other well known brands. I suppose that most will be only new colors and liveries. But we also learned from the past that one or the other surprise can show up at any given time.
Don't hesitate to leave me a line if you should have seen any other model not yet listed or mentioned above.
