Challenger, Mustang and maybe a Camaro.  Aimed (said Nightline) at 60
year old
baby boomers?  I doubt they'll be confined to that demographic.  But,
they did point out
one thing;  There would be nothing interesting having Steve McQueen do
the Bullet chase
scene in a Hyundai.

Man... the Challenger is ALL over car discussion, I've heard three distinct
references to it on various radio talk NOT particulary having to do with
the automotive world.

If Chrysler had any doubts before, it's a slam dunk now. And it IS (unlike
the current muscle model) a beautiful car.

Because they put an updated version of their classic grill design on it
instead of that fugly truck front end. Chrysler has ruined every one of
their recent RWD designs with that stupid truck front end. Whatever
marketing moron decided that they should capitialize on the popularity of
their truck line that way should be taken out back and pelted with
something.

I always shudder when we refer to "modern" muscle cars.... Where is the
rumpy-rump idle of a 400+ inch motor with nearly too much camshaft? What do
I see if I'm not looking at a couple of Holleys perched atop a tunnel ram
manifold......

No guts.... no glory.... most of all - no midnight thrashes as we get the
car bac together for the weekend......

Bwwwwwaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!

    What do you call a Terminator cobra? Not a muscle car? You've obviously
not ridden in one...

You gearheads are stinkin' dinosaurs. Get with the new millenium already.

I'm going to my Nissan dealer tonight to talk about ordering the new Urge.
What a sweet ride THAT is. Even better when it's in Park.

I've got an Urge right now. I'll be sure to flush when I'm finished. ;-)
