Muscle Car HP Wars Heat Up
Production Version of Challenger to be identical to concept
6.6L Hemi in works for Challenger
Seems Dodge isn't playing around when it comes to the Challenger. The exterior of the car will be identical to the show car and they are working on a 6.6L Hemi for it.
All these mega muscle cars coming out and with gas at $3.00 plus a gallon.

I mean, yes, it is a great looking car. But Detroit seems to be about 3 years behind in reality checks. Given current gas prices, these muscle cars will sell for maybe the first two years. Once the 'newness' worn off, then they will just sit on the dealers' lots collecting dust.
Look at Honda. Honda has the highest CAFE in all auto manufacturers who sell cars and trucks in the United States. Honda can't even sell Ridgelines and Pilots without heavy incentives ($2000 and $3000 respectively). Take for granted the Pilot is old, but then again it points out that 'newness' and gas mileage play important roles nowadays.
IMO, wrong time to push muscle cars. They should spend more time, money and energy on more efficient engines, cars and trucks.
