I understand what you're saying 66, and to play a little "devil's advocate" here, people actually HAVE said how the large SUVs and trucks should die or be severly regulated (i.e. give them the same fuel regs as cars). The thing is, though, like you said, some actually have a real need for an SUV or a truck for whatever reason - large family, live in the northern climes, whatever - unlike a "muscle car", which is almost always an emotional need versus a practical need, which is why I think we're hearing alot of buzz about the supposed "death" of the modern muscle car.

Having said that, however... A small part of me honestly hopes that the muscle car market DOES tank and values plummet. Because that means that they're only going to rise again someday. I've always envied those that bought muscle cars back way back when when nobody wanted them, and look at them now - look who's getting the last laugh. I want to be one of those left laughing when the values rise again in the next few decades (assuming I have that much time left...)
