one of the magazines, i forget which (motor trend, car and driver, one of those) had GM sketches of what the next "camaro" was going to look like. the rumor i heard was that it was cheaper for them to shut down the product line for those cars, and retool for a much improved newer design, than it was for them to bbuy and build a new factory for the new line. The f-body is extremely outdated. a friend bought a 2001.(traitor). after one year it squeaks, rattles, has had two major engine problems. i think it was just time for them to crumple up the paper and start from scratch. just wait....the new car will be a 350, 6 speed standard, that handles like a viper, accelerates like a crotch rocket, and stops like it threw out an anchor. then Ford will have to revamp the stang to keep up again, and the flame wars will spark right back up.
