Future of American muscle discovered - in a hybrid?

Unfortunately I had to work last night, so I do not have any pictures from Fuddruckers. However, as I was surfing the web yesterday (in anticipation of my conflicting schedule) I found this article "Green Cars Blossom at New York Auto Show" from MarketWatch last week (coincidentally posted on March 19th -my birthday!).

In this article, Steve Gelsi takes a positive stance on the future of American muscle cars, citing the 2008 Dodge Challenger and the 2009 Chevrolet Camaro as presently, part of the past.

According to Gelsi, although the small blocks seem to be on an invisible chopping block, more innovative and eco-friendly cars are coming down the pipe.

Gelsi, even goes so far as to say that the fuel-cell Chevrolet Equinox Concept "accelerates much more quickly than a gas-powered car, thanks to the electric motors turning the wheels".

So if GM has this type of technology on the drawing board for a dinky sport-utility, imagine what's in the plans for a classic small-block like the Imapala? Could the solely battery-operated Chevy Volt be the future of American muscle?



Who knows - but the future looks to hold some promise for us muscle-car motorheads, even if it dies with the Challenger and Camaro.
