Ask yourself this question: What is it that makes muscle cars, muscle cars?

I think that the term 'Muscle Car' is open to such a broad interpretation. There are a lot of people that think that only the cars from the 1960's to the early '70's should be considered as such. And then there are people, like me; that think that the cars of the 1980's and today deserve the name. And then when I say that my car ( Mustang) is a modern Muscle car, the argument comes up that my car is a Pony car, not a Muscle Car;etc.

in my opinion anyway, i think a muscle car should have a V8, or at least an 8 cylinder engine, a 2 door CAR, traditionally an american car, but it doesnt have to be, and of course it has to sound good, because anyone can claim that their camaro is a muscle car, and many of them are, but if it sounds like a cat died in the carborator, it doesnt count to me. so by my description, no jeep i have ever seen is a muscle car, sorry to break it to you, sure its made in america so its american muscle under the hood, dont get me wrong, but its not a muscle car
