Being that the cars are no longer production based cars will the above mentioned companies be so willing to throw all that money into nascar now?

Dodge has made statements confirming their commitment to the sport (you can find quotes at jayski.com). Toyota would not have wasted all of their money just to leave! GM is the #1 car in NASCAR and will not be going away anytime soon. Ford is probably in the most trouble, since they have been struggling for the last two years.
IMO, the COT cars look more like their street cars than the regular cars. They have the old cars so distortated for aero reasons, they look nothing like a street car. With the COT, it is less distorted, and with the decals, it looks very similar.

I understand your point. Of course, NASCAR back in the Petty Days for sure wasn't really stock car then, but more so then, than now. To answer your question. No. It's all about advertisement. I hear people argue over which is better Ford-Chevy-Ford-Chevy (which is crazy) Every car is custom. I hate the looks of COT. Like DW said it's like a truck. Toyota got into NASCAR to win over the South. It's their weakest market. Toyota's Goal as said by their CEO is to be bigger than GM. Now that they are in NASCAR it's just a matter of years before the SOuth gives in to them.

Instead of religious tolerance too many mullahs, priests, ministers and whatever else they are called promote the idea that others not in their group are infidels, going to hell, or otherwise bungled and botched. They all have ecclesiastical tyranny and would kick Jesus himself out in the case of Christian churches. Even High Wisdom from somewhere else will get someone excommunicated if they mention it. If it comes from a foreign country everyone will look at the person askance. A sweaty rag preacher or a foaming at the mouth ayatollah is more welcome, also a priest who carefully teaches time worn false doctrine. Many are already organizing their own religious knowledge without association with these places. But others no longer attend and their children are receiving zero moral guidance, the results of which you see every single day. If there iis BOTH no moral guidance AND no education, then you have a REAL problem festering. All groups need REFORM. If they had more truth and sensible instruction perhaps more would attend. The few remaining members include those with little access to education who largely comprise the fundamentalist groups and want to burn the other group's books and maybe even start a new era of religious wars. We cannot get by apart from religion and we cannot easily get by with it. More teachers of truth and tolerance are needed. But there are some large and small groups which are NOT causing the troubles. In the USA there is suppposed freedom of religion. But even here one gets stopped from education, employment and winning office in many places if his religion is not the same as the majority group. It was worse only a few years back and is still terrible in most all other parts of the world. Even worse than here. Tyrannies teach that others are wrong because those who hold power want their own group and doctrines to grow and membership to increase. In this way they have displaced God or Allah Himself. And substituted the precepts of men.

The various manufactures will still be into racing in various ways.There will be a Ford-Chevy-Dodge-Toyota in the series but not to the degree we are use to.
I long for the days when the cars roared down the start-finish line and a ford was a ford a chevy a chevy,but today what did the decal say?
Keep stock in stock cars.

The cars haven't really been production based since the early years of Nascar. It is just that with the COT people have just caught on to that fact. So, I seriously doubt that they will pull sponsorship anytime soon.

Ford's bringing back the Taurus name in '08. If there REALLY smart they'll put it back in Nascar instead of the Fusion.

This nation is now enterning a depression. The American auto producers are broke. Yes, they will soon pull sponsership. This depression will be 10 time worse that the great depression.
