This question is kinda like going into the Playboy mansion and asking "why are all these gorgeous women naked?"

I'm with Paladin... my guess being 2010 will see the last of the v-8 muscle... maybe 2011, but not likely beyond. Get 'em while you can...

The CAFE standards go into effect in 2020[sm=smiley6.gif], so it might last till 2015, but i doubt it.

So lets not think about the future, lets live for today Lets take what they have made for us and be thankful the muscle cars came around again for an oncore. I came in on the end of the muscle car era the first time around and I watched this one come alive. Who would believe what we are seeing 10 years ago. I'm looking forward to seeing my first Challenger driving down the road and giving that person a big thumbs up

Agreed. Also remember this, when did the demand drop for V8 powered cars in recent history? It dropped in the mid to late 90s when gas was cheap. Some things work in the opposite way that you would normally expect.
