The other thing that these people are missing is that we are really only talking about three muscle/pony cars in this day and age. Camaro, Mustang, Challenger. Back in the 60s and early 70s there were tons.
You had Torinos, GTXs, Roadrunners, Novas, Chevelles, Chargers, Darts, Barrcudas/'Cuda, Impalas, Malibus, Skylarks, GTOs, Fairlanes, Camaros, TAs, Mustangs and the the list goes on. Sure we have Chargers, Impalas, and Malibus today, but they don't quite live up to the muscle car heritage of their 60s and 70s counterparts. Either way there isn't as big of proliferation of muscle cars these days, and I don't think they will get so destroyed by rising gas prices.

There will always be drivers willing to sacrifice mileage for performance, even when gas gets expensive. Some people just like exciting, fun to drive, fast cars and are willing to pay for it. Not all of us want to drive a Pious.

It's only one man's opinion, but it is a pretty informed one. It's hard to argue with a lot of his points and frankly I'm not sure I disagree with him. I've had a feeling for a while now that we'll see the Camaro for a couple years and then sales will dwindle and GM will cut it yet again.
