Ford and Chrysler are working hard and doing a great job of catching up finally to the competition, and the Fiesta will prove that America can make fun small cars.

It shows me that American engineering is NOT dead, as long as they (the companies) resist the urge to shave every penny and make cars as cheaply as possible. The Vette and the CTS-V will take on the GT-R and 911 turbo and R8s of the world, and do it for cheaper. However, a few standout cars does not make up for decades of pathetic, dismal, bland and wasteful design. I love that Vette.

Well to us 2010 is a long way off but to a company and especially auto companies 2 years is hardly enough time to get anything done, the Camaro program has probably been worked on for at least 4 years now, if not more. It's coming out whether gas is $4 or $6. Of course higher pump prices are going to not help, but you still see a lot of big cars, and Mustangs out there that don't get the best gas mileage. The cars will still sell. Obviously the car companies have to adapt and offer more fuel efficient cars as the the trends in the market do. You will probably like the Mustang just see like 80% of Camaros out there being V6's as opposed to being V8's. But to those of us like me and maybe you, where fuel efficiency does matter and chose more fuel efficient, and good performing cars. Hell if gas was like it was even 2 years ago, of course I'd have a V8 RWD car. But i'm rolling with a small displaced boosted engine and probably will continue to do so as long as gas keeps increasing at this rate. ^ actually ZR1 makes 638 horseys… Well to us 2010 is a long way off but to a company and especially auto companies 2 years is hardly enough time to get anything done, the Camaro program has probably been worked on for at least 4 years now, if not more.

Frankly, any car over 3800lbs and making less than 100hp per liter should just be banned outright. Even the new Vette, the only American car that I can get excited about, makes 620hp with 6.2 liters and weighs 3400lbs.

It is also not a small car by any means -- if the Challenger is bigger, and it seats fewer and carries less stuff, we can chalk that up to yet more inefficient and wasteful design. In any case, 4100lbs for a 2-door car is still stupid. It isn't like the car has bench seats and acres of interior room, like the muscle cars of old. I'm certainly not scared of V8 Camaros right now, why would I care about a V6 one? And 20mph on the highway is hilarious. Don't you know a V6 Accord has just 36 less horsepower than that, and can get 28 mpg highway TWO YEARS AGO? frylock350, the RDX is the ONLY CUV in production to get five stars from all sides in both government and independent crash tests; saying the frame isn’t up to snuff is pure ignorance.

It wont' even be a close race, the Dodge will leave the ricer for dead. @02WRXPSM, That number isn't accurate, its 4100lbs according to Dodge. And an RDX is physically smaller than the Challenger (length X width). Don't kid yourself into thinking an RDX has a frame either, its a CUV, it has nothing resembling a frame. Its a flimsy unit-body construction just like anything else that isn't a pickup-truck. Look under a Tahoe or Crown Vic if you want to see what a frame is. Cars in general are extremely porky though. A BMW 7-series weighs only 200lbs less than a Silverado 4-door, and the Silverado is clearly significantly larger. A Honda Pilot weighs more than my larger Caprice station wagon. Don't scoff too much at the idea of a V6 Camaro, it will be packing the 300hp direct injected V6 the CTS uses. It should give it good performance with high-20s hwy mileage. @mayer_ray_nagin,

If an 05-06 GTO can hit 60 in like 4.6 with 25less ponies and less torque (and also less weight 3690 vs 4371lbs roughly) Then we are probably looking at low 5's for the R/T which would put it in Mustang GT territory which is prob what Dodge wants, but costing more what will that do? I'm just using excelleration as a factor to compare on not that I'm saying it's the most important factor because it certainly isn't. But it makes you wonder.

Geez. 370hp and 404lbs of torque is nice but this thing weighs a ton and it better be quicker than a current Mustang GT or it'll be DOA. Yeah HRR, how much you think that track pack is going to cost you extra to get that 6spd manual, and LSD?

To make a long story short, I'll summarize. Drivers were registering their little 1964 Chevy II that had a little 250 cid 6 cyl, and dropping in a big V8 while paying insurance premiums for a little 6 cyl. Then, the assholes would wreck, kill themselves and other people, and the insurance companies were paying claims on car that were not properly insured. That's why the VIN number will tell the insurance company what kind of motor, drivetrain (RWD, FWD, AWD, 4x4), repairability, etc to determine the 'symbol' for the car. The higher the symbol, the more expensive to insure. @BlackX I saw regular 87 octane this morning at $4.51. Insurance companies killed the original musclecar era that begain in 1964.

The funny thing is I wasn't going pro or con against the challenger. All I was doing was saying was the obvious. I hope the challenger does well but what all you fail to realize because most of you are too young to remember we have been down this road before this is nothing new. America got its balls back in the early part of this decade with really cool all-American muscle cars. Then it all went to pot for THE SAME F*&^ING REASON IT DID 30 YEARS AGO. We didn't learn a thing. Now Rah Rah for the challenger and lets see it die again. Guys the challenger should be on alternative fuel platform. With the Horse POWER of Corse. We didn't do a thing after America's (MUSCLE) demise the first time and now they think they can ram it down our throats and call it American Horse Power and we should accept it all I am saying is that we should and could be farther ahead and we DROPPED THE BALL AGAIN....
