I hope you're right. :-) There's something odd about the whole thing
though. I mean, Chebby wants to scrap the Camaro so they can build more
Tahoes (or whatever their SUV is), while at the same time, Ferd decided that
Mustang sales are good enough to justify new bodywork and more power!
Something doesn't add up here. If the market is so dried up, then how
can Ferd sell Mustangs left and right? (Granted most of 'em are probably 4
and 6 cyl GT-wannabes, but still...)
Dodge says they like to "change the rules". Well, the rule right now
seems to be "don't build pony cars". The ball is in their court! :-)
