divided the auto universe in to sports cars and SUVs, one which comes
into fashion at the expense of the other in a cyclical way. There are
other types of vehicles on the road in significant numbers which vie for
people's attention and dollars. Because the two are not substitutes for
the other, 'bored' sports car owners who are just looking for a new thrill
or the next thing (their only goal in their new vehicle selection according
to you) do not have to choose an SUV. They can just as easily choose
a sedan, or pickup truck (or a motorcycle for that matter since features
and design are irrelevant, right?). Even if SUVs came to dominate all car sales when the Z32 fell out of
favor, the total sales of the Z is so small it's a logical fallacy to conclude
that Z buyers necessarily went to the SUV. Z buyers could
have just as easily chosen an alternative. Given an alternative, mere
succession does not prove causation.
