Muscle Car's Test Drive Turns Heads - WSJ.com
...In May, the Camaro outsold Honda Motor Co.'s new hybrid, the Insight, by roughly two to one, and Chevy dealers had just 28 days' worth on the lots at the end of the month, according to Autodata Corp. By Chevy standards, that's a sellout. Meanwhile, GM last week said it would kill the slow-selling hybrid version of its Chevy Malibu sedan. These are cautionary signals for the Obama administration's efforts to shift GM's product mix toward smaller, more-efficient vehicles...
 

Yes they outsell hybrids, but do they outsell small fuel efficient cars (like the civic, corolla, focus, or cobalt)? I think not. And the Camaro's success is largely because of extensive marketing (one of the most extensively marketed cars I have ever seen).

Though I will say that people still see less value in more efficiency vs more power.
