KmartCowpoke -> Muscle Cars (1/15/2006 4:08:49 AM)

For years I've asked myself why the American car companies refuse to make vehicles similar to the Muscle cars of the late 60s and early 70s. Countless car enthusiast magazines have placed the American muscle car on a pedestal for years. When the new Mustang came out I said to myself "Watch that baby sell and prove my point!" I read an article in the paper the other day which said Ford's share of the market had shrunken but that the Mustang and the 500 were carrying the company. I don't know if that article was acurate but there is one thing I do know. I bleed blue blood. I love Fords and always have. However, when I saw the new Ford Fairlaine I bacame angry. That vehicle is a sorry excuse for a Fairlane. Furthermore, can't anyone see that American's are going crazy for the Mustang, the new Comaro concept and the Challenger concept? What are the American car companies waiting for? Give the people what they want, not some bland ultra-sensible Euro rollerskate that could bore a grandmother to sleep. Our blood boils for a beast of a car that looks mean and sounds even meaner. If you want to put Ford on top, make cars the American people can't resist. Refine that 68 fairlane, make it look modern and sell it as a muscle car. People will line up for one and guys like me will finally be able to get as excited about the new Fords as I am about the Mustang. Thanks for taking the time to read my post. Please help bring back the glory days of the American car industry!
