Doofus's. Hiding. Under a rock. No Mention of the Fusion, Escape hybrids.
Yeah, Camaros, Mustnags and Challengers may evolve. So what, there will be some intereting vehicles ahead. If Nissan can get cars like the M35h out there, the trickle down will hit the common folk's level in terms of decent peerformance.

About what I'd expect from CNN. Wonder if they're affiliated with Motortrend?

I planned on keeping mine for 10 years or so anyway. But may not even sell the 98 z28.

So the downfall of the muscle car then, cause the moment the Camaro loses the V8 is the moment it's no longer a muscle car.

You can have my Camaro when you pry my cold dead fingers from the steering wheel.
Not gonna get me in one of the "fast & furious" style asian models. Doesn't the writer at CNN realize that the really badassed cars in those movies were AMERICAN muscle anyway???? Hmmmmm....something to consider
