Actually, I would like to see them bring the Camaro back. Think about it. If they do away with it, it will leave one V-8 powered pony car out there and the only sales competition will be made up of Uncle Ben's fried rice. Sure, they'll still be selling Vettes and Vipers but those are way out of most folks' range. Pretty soon Ford may see a market that is leaning more toward Focus type performance than something as powerful as a big wasteful Mustang. I don't think for a minute that Ford was developing Mustangs all these years to compete with the Honda Civic sales. To me, the death of the rear wheel drive F-body may signal the evolution of the front wheel drive, DOHC four banger Mustang. . .with a big fart pipe and suzuki stickers al over it. I wonder if Ford's version will be a say VTEKKK on the fender.
