Granted, these are beautiful cars. I knew and loved them all. I have to say, the new Challenger SRT8, Camaro SS, Mustang GT 500 just to name a few are also amazing. let's not forget the Cadillac V coupe with 560 BHP. Ground pounding American muscle.
 
what a stupid article! full of factual inaccuracies and grammatical errors, I stopped counting the mistakes it was so bad.
 
A few minor inaccuracies but it did have 2 or 3 of my favs '66 Chevelle, '69 Camaro and a Pontiac GTO. I'm usually not a huge fan of classic Dodge styling but I think the '69 Dodge Charge was very well styled.

Right. While you're getting 15mpg on premium fuel during an awful, down economy, I'll mosey on by in my little wussy hybrid getting 60-65mpg, consistently! on standard puke 87 octane gas, and the money i save is money that keeps me that much farther away from being homeless.
As well as girlfriend less...... crackmeup

Kind of silly, but sometimes true. The display of wealth is attractive to women. A display of practicality is often not so attractive. Of course, I'm so old, any women that look at me are laughing...
 
Yup! They were alot of fun back in the day of $ .30 gas. Heck, I remember filling my Camaro with $ .18 cents a gal gas, but those times are long gone and with gas running $3.50 a gal and they claim $4.00 by Memorial Day, I'll take todays cars. Gotta admit tho it sure was fun while it lasted.
 
Late teens, I had a 1968 Pontiac GTO. Now, I have a 2006 Pontiac GTO. Re-living my youth? banana LOL

Great comment. And sadly true. BTW, I grew up at the strip during the late 60's and early 70's when performance was king. Owned more than a few of the hottest cars of the day. NONE, not a single one, can touch my old 2006 Chrysler. Quicker, faster, better braking, better cornering, WAYYYY better safety systems, etc. Quieter, better mpg... need I go on. It's hard to outrun a fond memory... but modern V6's run better than many cars in that horribly inaccurate article!
 
A 66 GTO IS BETTER THAN ANY OF TODAYS SEWING MACHINE 4 BANGERS, IMHO. PS. its not about gas mileage, it was an era of autos that cant be expressed by todays drivers unless you were in that time zone and it was fun while we had them.

ah, nostalgia. the only thing better is the styling. the underpinnings were terrible in stock form. the best of both worlds is to modernize that '66 GTO w/ modern suspension and brakes, and a modern LS engine that can get good MPGs AND have plenty of power.

If people didn't waste the extra money for the Hybrid option, they could afford the gas. I'm sure buying a regular used car with average mileage is more cost efficient than buying a new Hybrid vehicle. Just consolidate trips and use some gas saving driving techniques. I would rather drink cheaper beer, and use store brand paper products than drive one of those little cars.
