When are new the Logi and Thrustmaster wheels coming out?

The "cheapened" rubber instead of leather, but with a shifter and possibly better pedals Logi and the new "Ferrari"? They were introduced in the spring at CES or somewhere, but I have lost track of when they are supposed to be released.

Hmmm...looks like the fantastic metal shift paddles have been replaced by plastic ones. That's my only problem with the Guillemot Ferrari wheel--very cheap shifter paddles. We also can't see the pedals on the new Logi... The fact that it is rubber rather than leather doesn't bother me, but I wish we knew something about the internals. Probably crap like the second generation regular Logi wheel. If they could have just put decent pedals and a shifter on the original Momo, I would buy it--even at double the price of the new one! I have no details on the new TM Ferrari wheel, but based on experience, they will manage to screw up at least one major component on that one, too.

FYI - If you're interested, you can buy a reconditioned leather Momo at Overstock.Com for $110.95. That might leave you some change for extra pedals and a shifter... http://www.overstock.com/cgi-bin/d2.cgi?cid=19338&PAGE=PRODUCT&PROD_ID=46526 &fp=F Cheers, SB "Marc Collins" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:b_3b9.4048$[email hidden]... > Hmmm...looks like the fantastic metal shift paddles have been replaced by > plastic ones.

Oops; at Justdeals.com too, for $99.95... SB "Steve Blankenship" <[email hidden]> wrote... <blah blah>

Everyone is selling off the Momo's in my community (Toronto), but I really don't want the hassle of having to do special configurations for every game to accommodate separate pedal and shifter...not to mention the cost of those! The fact that it and the TM Ferrari are on sell-off everywhere is what reminded me the new ones are likely coming out soon.

I have a line in to Guillmont/TM. I'll post on the forum when the new Ferrari wheel is released.

Forgot to mention it earlier - fwiw, there's a decent preview of the TM wheel at http://www.drivingitalia.com/articoli.php3?id=4987 You'll have to babelfish for the text unless your Italian's better than mine, but there are some good hi-res pics.

If the Logi pedals are improved, it'll be a first. Frankly, their 'no parts provided' policy that I keep hearing about has ended their sales to me. -Larry "Marc Collins" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:_dXa9.3906$[email hidden]... > The "cheapened" rubber instead of leather, but with a shifter and possibly > better pedals Logi and the new "Ferrari"?

So I was right...it looks great, but has no shifter. They are competing with last year's Logitech!!!! Marc "Steve Blankenship" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:rNab9.4126$[email hidden]...

The other Steve just provided an Italian link, but it looks like a loser to me because it has no traditional shifter.

The new F1 wheel is on the TM site but not listed in the online store. I read somehwere (maybe there) that it will be released in September. - Tom N.
