Jeez, all the complaining about "ricers" and about how today's kids don't appreciate American muscle and then Detroit makes an effort (in this new Demon, for example) to beat-back the ricer, etc., attack on our market and you guys complain about that. I realize that some guys like certain cars and some guys do not--that's normal. As soon as I clicked the link and saw that gold Demon prototype I thought "cool." Maybe I'd buy one, maybe not, but at least Mopar is trying. No wonder Detroit is cautious about what they are willing to produce--we complain about what they should build, Detroit builds it, and then we don't buy it.

First time I drove a Miata in 1990 I laughed at how fun it was. Yeah, it was kind of a chick-car but it had the same leather smell of my dad's '67 Healey, sounded like a '60s Brit sports car, and was a hoot to toss through the curves--and how many Miatas have been sold in the past 15+ years? Millions?
