I dunno... I really don't like most of the retromobiles. It's like they took one step forward in technology and five steps back in design
Doubt it, gas mileage will probably drive sales in the unforeseeable future. I am not sure a 160HP rwd car will drive anything other than making a car that young professionals or college kids can afford.

I'm not a fan of the new Camaro at all. Ford did a decent job on the Mustang and Dodge got the lines right on the Challenger, but Chevy completly blew it on the Camaro.

I enjoy my Z as my daily driver and the precise cornerering capability.....but there's nothing quite like a first generation Camaro with a big cam, high compression 468 cubic inch motor (7.6L) thumping out 700HP and 650 ft/lbs of torque to peel your eyelids back when you launch it. ......oh and my neighbors love the full length headers and dual 3" exhaust when I fire it up in the morning.

Unfortunately it gets 5 MPG and needs premium gas along with octane boost, or aviation gas (which makes run REAL strong), so it doesn't get driven much anymore.
