Japanese cars have replaced de american muscle??
since the camaro was taken off the market, the mustang has no performance/price competitor, now a days the shit is between EVO AND IMPREZA STI, have you forgotten the old muscle and fall into the hands of inline power?? does affordable american power disapeared or its just a period, will GM appeared with a concept to compete with FORD??
|
please let me know your you opinion!!! thanx :P
|
Lol, you wish Japan has replaced American muscle (points to Corvette C6, the New mustang, the new lightning, the new SRT-10 RAM/Vipers, Ford GT, Saleen S7, and Pontiac GTO.)
|
blah, i meant in the performance/price market, of course that in higher market, where the corvette, viper, saleen the japanese cars have no chance, but i meant in the area of 35k$ or less, maybe the pontiac GTO have a chance to stand for, but i meant if they have replaced the competition between cars, (camaro vs. mustang) now is (evo vs impreza), but thats the competition in a lower market, but the corvette vs viper comp. is still there
:fist: |
cuz' americans are looking for import power, wheter you like ot or not
|
used C5 vettes are going for around the 35K area, you can get cobras in some parts of american for GT prices.
|
Yea, but look under the hood, its a damn truck engine, if that at american muscle what is?
|
The American manufacturers shifted their production to more profitable SUVS and trucks. I hate SUVs and truck drivers, they cant drive or park period. As for American performance cars, yes, they've moved further upmarket just like the Germans. Management-wise, it's harder to extract the same productivity from European and American auto-workers (unionized) than from Japanese auto workers (used to be guaranteed lifetime job) so the Germans and Americans are constantly moving further and further upmarket.

Times are changing, man. People also want build quality and handling these days which, quite frankly, domestics (with a few exceptions) don't have. There is hope, however. The new GTO is quite promising, and , if they get it right, the new Mustang could be great too.
Oh yeah, they also don't want their cars to be ugly as hell. |
You guys have a misconception about domestics, The door panels may come off, the knobs on the radio may break, but that engine will last alot of beatings.

most americans can't afford having a ferrari, lambo, or even a corvette, not cuz' of the price, cuz' you can get a corvette for 17k$ but the price to maintain it is high, or at least more expensive to run a subaru, what i meant is that since the camaro is dead the competition between the mustang is over, if you ask a car enthusiast its more probable that he is gonna choose a s2000 or a evo 8 or a sti instead of a mustang, so that means that the american muscle among the market that is focused for: more performance, less price...in that market has died, the young people are not looking for muscles like the camaro and mustangs, they are looking for sti's, evo's, impreza and hondas, and modified cars, (wich i really dont like- blah- cuz' if i could i would buy a plymounth barracuda or a small block or a dodge challenger eith 440hp) but people know looks for performance/price/gas mileage, lol, but you can't get that from a muscle, you have performace/price, but not gas mileage :roll:
