No offense but those are some of the cars that I think got them into this mess.
I'm not seeing many old neons, aries, lebarons or old daytonas on the road that still look good. I do see a lot of run down ones that people have let go to hell though.
Maybe as you say if they revamp them with new engine technology etc it might work.
However, in my opinion those cars were the junk that ruined them.
