Would They Ever Produce Genuine Muscle Cars Again?

If you are somebody in your forties or fifties, and you have fond recollections of your first car, more than likely you owned an All-American muscle car. There happens to be a growing trend of people throughout the United States looking to buy classic muscle cars to restore. The main reason for this is because nobody makes cars like this anymore. Most people are thinking about why no one has started to produce muscle cars again. Or just go to crv honda.
Ford and Chevy continue to produce Mustangs and Camaros after their introduction throughout the sixties. The issue is that every year these people get away from what a true muscle car is and they keep filling them with more and more computer equipment. When is anyone going to manufacture a muscle car with a 327 and a 4 barrel carburetor again. The regrettable truth is we almost certainly won't have one ever again.
Here's the situation, everyone is so swept up in improving things they forget about what was already perfect. One great example of this is the 1967 Camaro, which was the most significant muscle cars ever. So if this classic car was so popular why did Chevy stop producing it and why have they not made that type of model since. The same goes for the 1966 Mustang, which is actually another classic that Ford just decided wasn't worth making.
However here comes the amusing thing. The legendary VW Bug ended major production in the late seventies, but was released a few decades later. While the modern Bug sold great they could possibly have sold more if they simply went back to the old style of Bug. It can't be helped that these people think that new is invariably better.
Here is one thing to think about. If Chevy thought they would go retro and build a Camaro with a 327 engine and 4 barrel carburetor and left out all the super duper technology, wouldn't you want one? I asked this question to virtually countless people throughout the years and they all said they would without delay get one. Therefore what might be the trouble? If people want the good old days, when is some motor company going to give people what they demand.
At what point is Ford, Chevy or perhaps Pontiac going to say, you know what lets develop a car like we used to. I can practically guarantee that people will be getting in line to get these new American classics. Yet until these companies start paying attention to their customers, you'll have people looking for old muscle cars to restore.
We could get lucky and at some point these companies will choose to start making them. Sadly the head folks at these companies hold this belief, that if they think they are creating new and better muscle car, people will want it. For me personally I think it is time to get back to the fundamentals.
