Default RE: Will the Challenger be a short lived muscle car because of gasoline prices?

It depends on how things go. If we decide to strangle the oil companies with price freezing, it will be the 70s all over again. If we decide to strangle the environmentalist that refuse to allow more refineries, drilling, allow fuel efficient technologies to come in such as Diesel engines, then the problem will be resolved. If we quit chasing ideas that don't work such as Ethanol and Hybrids, and go with fuels that actually work such as Butanol, then the problem could possibly improve.

I agree with the theory that if SUVs are still being sold with the terrible fuel mileage they get, then the Challenger will be successful. I think a powerful V6 option would be a good idea for the Challenger for this reason. It will appeal to those who want a faster car while being able to get the fuel economy they desire.
