Default RE: The next next Chevy Camaro

It actually is like 1969 all over again...we are on the verge of the greatest muscle cars of our time, with the 'Greenhouse issues' and fuel prices overshadowing us, threatening to take away our fun, just like the early '70's-But this time I am old enough to buy a second car that I do not have to drive every day...thus I can afford expensive gas etc-However, I believe the industry is going about this all wrong-the average R/T Challenger will probably be capable of getting 28 MPG with the new variable camshaft Hemi-and these cars are not going to be everyones family car, driven every day etc...And the SRT-8's impact is going to be even smaller because of it's limited numbers-the big 3 shouldn't shy away from these cars...we are not ready to stop paying for them yet! They just need to keep investing in the alternative fuels/economy cars for us to use to get to work/shopping/family functions every day, but have our V-8 rumble for the weekends/special occasions/Sunday Drives! It kills me that the automotive industry in America is being confined when there are other entire countries (China, North Korea, Russia) that are so behind the times with their heating/production industry they are fouling the atmosphere at a much higher rate than our musclecars & muscletrucks!!
