Not anytime soon Bowtie Lovers...<br><br>"General Motors is planning to cut thousands of white-collar jobs and is considering whether it should sell or stop production of more of its brands,..."<img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/frown.gif" alt="image"><br><br>Colin
With everyone clamoring for hybrids and econo-boxes, I'm actually looking for more of this to happen. I'm not so sure the Challenger will do well afterthe initial surge. A lot of folks paid already or reserved one. There will aways be a segment of the market that will want these awesome muscle machines, butperhaps as time goes on, and fuel costs more, that segment may become smaller. I'm hanging on to my v8 Taurus!<img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/pimp.gif" alt="image">
I love the Camaro but they may want to cut there loss and just stay with the HB's maybe an HB camaro??.........lol.....umm no.....

The gas is controlling it all. If they would drill here at home the problem would be solved and the muscle cars could come back. If they drill here I bet theprices would stay right where their at. <img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/eyes.gif" alt="image"><br>I want one but it would be out of my price range anyway.<br>I'll wait for a used one. <img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/ohwell.gif" alt="image"><br>Tim
Personally, I think it's just as well. The Big Three cannot survive forever selling trucks and boutique (or 'retro' if you prefer) cars. They needto get down to the business of building transportation that is the match of Honda and Toyota, or BMW and Mercedes. They can do it, but not if they'rewasting their time with special-interest cars like the Camaro and Challenger.<br><br>By the way, I saw a Challenger on the road this morning - man, that is one BIG ASS car... not at all the svelte, athletic looking original. Looks more like atank with leering eyes and some nice surface treatment to me.<br><br>So they're cars from a long-gone era, and it'll never be the same... I say let 'em die in peace and we'll keep on restoring the originals...<br><br>Greg
<strong>There were 2 new Challengers at yesterdays Super Car Sunday........<br><br>The new Camaro is Butt Ugly anyways, i could have designed a better model,<br>and it's best that GM holds off for now, if not entirely........</strong>
They got the front end of the new camaro right, but from the rear of the doors back they screwed up bad.
I hate all these new "retro" cars. Ive seen a few new challengers and they looked like poop. Big POOP! And the new mustangs....eh. Looks like aglazed over 67. About the only thing good about the new Mustangs is Ford finally gave the stang its own platform when they moved to the s197 design so the carmoved away from its much antiquated fairmont chasis. Thank god for that, but the designs for these "retro" cars is far from what id call creative. Imvery doubtful the 5th gen Camaro will see the light of showroom floors. Funny because its about the only design that looks somewhat creative.<br><br>Dont even get me started on the new Shelby's. Lumbering and overpriced. Eh id just assume buy one of the 03-04 cobras for a fraction of the price, put agriggs racing suspension kit on it for about 10 grand and leave the status symbol BS to some other person that just cares about a name.<br><br>Honestly the muscle car era is just plain gone. Its time to move forward. I dont think Detroit got the memo. Theres plenty of real mucle cars out here waitingto have some money poured into them that can be 10 fold what these new hunks of crap are. This whole retro craze baffles me. Just log it in the anals ofautomotive fads next to ricers, vanners, and SUV's. Im awaiting the next ridiculous fad on four wheels. How about a compact car built on a 1/2 ton pickupframe? You could call it the CUV (compact utility vehicle). Eww. I think i just threw up in my mouth.<img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/sick.gif" alt="image"><br>
Alot of people are upset because the latest generation of American muscle cars aren't the same as the old ones. Well, that is great! As much as I love oldschool muscle cars, I am glad the car company's have made many advancements. Maybe the styling isn't real creative, but it is selling, which is whatthey are in business for. Besides that, the new cars are faster, handle way better, give off less emmisions, lighter in some cases, wayyy more dependable, aremuch more refined, and have more creature comforts. The new Challenger has the same hp rating as the highest option engine back in the day at a fraction of thecost. I would love to have an original 426 Hemi Challenger, but it is a little too pricey for me to say the least, and they are very tempermental, so you spendmore time tuning than enjoying. I can take a little lacking in styling department in exchange for being able to bump the key and enjoy the many otheradvancements.
