Yes, Obama and his Obamamobile ideas will kill the muscle car just as surely as Jimma Carter and his disastrous ideas killed it in the '70s. We are approaching the dark ages of speed, power, and styling for cars, again, just like the '70s. It took 25 years or so to recover from those dark days to today when there are dozens of 400+ HP cars with exciting styling, like the new Camaro. Take a look at the ugly econobox Prius or Insight, that is what you will get by 2016, too many people don't care what they drive as long as it is cheap, politically correct, and trendy and gets from Point A to Point B. I am preparing to keep my older '60s musclecars indefinitely, as well as my new Camaro and MB SL55. We will not see the like of them again for a very long time. A very sad day for those who love to drive great looking, fast cars.
