You know what Hot Wheels needs to make more of? Rolls-Royce's. There is simply not enough of them in the line. In the entire history of Hot Wheels there have been only two Rolls-Royce's. The first one was a Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow which came out in 1969. The car hasn't been released since 1971. The second Rolls-Royce is the Phantom II which came out in 1984 and hasn't been made since 1995 which was when it was in the inaugural Treasure Hunt Series.
Now my main argument here is that Hot Wheels clearly needs to make more Rolls-Royce's. Why? Well, Rolls-Royce is a very popular brand of ultra luxury cars. They have some of the hottest cars on the market and they generate alot of buzz in the automobile world. For instance, the Rolls-Royce Phantom is a very hot and marketable car. Hot Wheels could create buzz along the collecting community by making one. I don't want to spend $40+ for a damn Minichamps one.
It wouldn't hurt Mattel to try to make one because they could make some money on a Rolls-Royce license. Heck they already have the Bentley license and they already have two different Continental GT's between the Hot Wheels and Matchbox brands. It would be best for business to make a Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud, especially a Diecast of John Lennon's customized Silver Cloud. Collectors would eat that up in a heartbeat. I don't get why they don't release more Rolls-Royce Diecasts.

Top 10 Cars that Hot Wheels Should Make
The other day I was thinking about some cars that Hot Wheels really should make. Most of them on this list are TV and Movie cars, while some are not.
- Batman Forever and Batman and Robin Batmobiles. Well Since Mattel has already made the 1989 Batmobile, the 1966, and the Tumbler, why not make the Joel Schumacher era Batmobiles even though nobody likes the movies the cars deserve a chance.
- Wagon Queen Family Truckster. Well this car has never been made in diecast form whatsoever. It is a legendary movie car after all. On the downside National Lampoon's Vacation is rated R so seeing a hot wheels version of the wagon is unlikely, but you never know.
- 1975 Chevrolet K5 Blazer from Jaws. I love the custom Amity Police Department 1975 Chevy K5 Blazer with the top removed and the light bar on it. It is a really cool car from Jaws and it is one of the most memorable police vehicles in movie history. A replica just sold for $22,000 at the Barret Jackson Auction in Palm Beach FL.
- The General Lee. Why hasn't Mattel made this car yet? They already have a '69 Dodge Charger in the line and all they have to do is modify it a little bit to make this legend.
- Rolls-Royce Phantom. In the early days of Hot Wheels, there was a Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow in the line and later came a Phantom II. Since Then a Rolls-Royce hasn't been in the Hot Wheels line since the 1995 FAO Schwarz 24k Gold Classics 3-Pack. So If they still have the Rolls-Royce license they could make one.
- Ferrari 456 GT Venice Wagon. Yes This is not a Joke a several of these obscure cars were made by Ferrari for the Sultan of Brunei and they would make a perfect addition to the Hot Wheels lineup.
- Yugo GV. Yes that's right a Yugo GV. Probably the worst car ever made. It would be one of the more obscure hot wheels cars in the line. Everyone Needs a Yugo Sometime... Even a Hot Wheels one.
- Grumman-Olson P800. You're probably wondering what is that? You've probably seen one of these everyday but you don't know what kind of truck it is. Give up? It's the UPS Package cars with the rounded off front and round headlights. It would be a cool one indeed.
- Subaru 360. Here is a tip to Mattel, make more Subaru's and older Japanese cars. So far Hot Wheels has made 2 Subaru's and one upcoming. It would be real nice to see them make their first car they sold here back in 1968.
- GEO Tracker/ Chevrolet Tracker. Why Hasn't anyone made this legendary SUV? It's a classic American car that is really a rebadged Suzuki. They Sold zillions of these things and they never got a toy version. What A Crock. I hope to see one in my lifetime.
