Honestly, in the past I wasn't into 'Muscle Cars', it wasn't until this new incarnation of the Camaro that I became really insistant on getting a V8. I just liked the look in the past.
I like a more bold look to vehicles. And American 'Muscle Cars' have that look. Foreign (especially Japanese) sports cars just aren't as bold or brash as American ones in their design.
I always see foreign 'sporty' cars like a lithe thin marathon runner and American 'Muscle' as just that. The bodybuilder type that, despite having the marathon runner running around him jabbing him in the ribs, can knock the runner out with one punch.
Stupid analogy perhaps, but it's how I always saw them.
