With the current soaring oil prices and economic turmoil, car buyers are supposed to go shopping for mini-vehicles or hybrids, but this is not the case. In the Detroit auto market, there are many modern versions of muscle cars and their sales are surprisingly hot.

In general, a muscle car refers to a powerful American coupé. Analyst Jim Hall said: "The muscle car will never disappear. What has changed is its definition." Ford Mustang has been on the market for 46 years. However, the production of Chevrolet Camaro, Dodge Charger and Challenger has been interrupted for many years.

In short, General Motors, Ford Motor Company, and Chrysler Group LLC will continue to produce muscle cars, because muscle cars are a symbol of American spirit.
