Let em' protest.

One of the main themes at this year's LA Auto Show seems to be, in the words of Tim Allen: "MORE POWER!!!". Muscle cars are making a comeback, with the show featuring vehicles such as the revived Pontiac GTO (really a rebadged Holden Monaro from GM's Australian subsidiary). The new GTO will be powered by the Corvette LS1 engine, putting out 340 horses. Dodge is also showing its Dodge Magnum "Sport Wagon" concept, which will go on sale in about a year. This is one mean looking station wagon! The concept (and hopefully the production model) has a 5.7 liter V8 Hemi rated at 430 HP. This comes on the heels of the revived Mercury Maurauder introduced last summer. Auuuughhhh, Auuuuughhhhh AUUUUUUGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Now that's "peppy"!

Don't forget the new V16 Caddy at 600hp!

Or the ugly new Caddy/Corvett.
