Future American muscle vs Asian cars?
How has the overall trend been? American muscle like the Camaro, Challenger, Mustang... pited against the Supra, Lancer Evo, Sti... sorry, i'm still learning all about cars.
I'm looking to buy a new car though, somewhere in '10 or '11. I currently own Hyundai Tuscani, looking to probably trade it in.. my top choices for the future are either the new Challenger or the new Supra.. (hopefully the FT-HS will not bear the Supra name)..
So between those two cars, which one would be the one owning the streets? And how is the overall trend of American muscle vs Asian cars?
Asian cars, namely Japanese, are well engineered, well built and very fast. New American muscle cars are -- suprise! -- exactly like the Japanese cars only bigger and faster. This wasn't always true. The demise of the domestic automobile industry came in the seventies when the big three was building crap cars that were too heavy, ugly, couldn't turn, couldn't stop, drank gas and fell apart daily. Then along came Honda, Datsun (Nissan) and Toyota. Suddenly Detroit realized that Americans were no longer going to 'buy American' unless they got their act together -- and soon. It's taken about twenty years but the build quality has finally reached a very good level, dependability is A+ and they are all VERY fast. Now that the muscle cars are making a comeback Detroit isn't going to make the same mistake twice. Americans want sexy, rear wheel drive cars with BIG V8 engines and the domestics are posied to deliver, Asia is not. Forget drifting, forget 'tuner cars' and forget giant paste-on wings and coffee can exhaust pipes. Compared to a muscle car they all look like toys. Japan had a really good run but it may be time for Americans to rule the streets again very, very soon...
