Whats going to happen when Dodge make the Challenger and the sales of the Mustang & Challenger beat the Camaro sales, Are they going to kill the Camaro again?

I think that GM needs to keep the edge styling to Cadillac and not let it influence other divisions.

I predict the opposite. The retro game is appreciated by the media (car mags), gear heads and older guys like us because we love the old cars. If you want an old musclecar - go buy one! They're all over the place out there. GM can't sell enough 'retro' Camaros to warrant continued production. They also need to be able to attract younger buyers, male and female, or the Camaro will disappear once again. How many of those Foosed-out 40 year old Challengers do you think they can sell once the old gearheads all have one? It'll die like the Prowler and the PT Cruiser because the design gets old real fast and people lose interest. You have to remember that we aren't the only ones GM is marketing this car to. There aren't enough of us. The fourth gen we all loved so much wasn't retro. We loved it because it was great looking and performed beyond our expectations. That's all I want out of the fifth generation.
