Retro-styling overstayed its welcome?

After reading this months issue of road and track, i had this thought. the new generation mustang appeared in 05 with a faily new idea of retro styling and alot of people, including myself really like the car for its good looks and unique styling. but then a year later dodge puts out the retro charger and soon to be retro challenger. chevy is putting out a retro camaro and pontiac is putting out a new retro gto(as seen in this months r&t). it was cool when ford did it but after every domestic car company starts following the leader it has become very worn out. and the worst thing is that these cars will sell like hot cakes even though the makers put little effort into their design, robbing old concepts. where do you draw the line, this is ending up just like in the 60s where it was follow ford and will lead to a very boring and non-diverse group of cars from the u.s. whats next? retro z car, retro celica/supra, retro bmw. what are yalls opinions on this?
