Era of the Muscle Car is over

If the Tesla Roadster ever comes out maybe it can try to redefine the sports car. But you can see the effects of going green and playing it safe. Automakers are beginning to shy away from sports cars and that is why I have a Nissan now. Everyone else seems to be getting scared.

Roadster is out currently, cost is about 100,000 plus. Tesla's new car is the Tesla S which is a family sedan. I agree though, "green" is the new hot topic and car companies are jumping at finding the next big thing. I hate to say it but electric is not the answer, yet.
