| brands would have seen a similar downturn across many model ranges. The reality is that in the 90's SUV's took away "status buyers" who normally spent 30-40k for a vehicle that they had no intention of using for its designed purpose. Yeah the exchange rate didnt help the price point, but it didnt stop people from buying 4runners and pathfinders in droves. I worked as salesman in a Nissan then a GM dealership towards the tail end of the demise of these sportscars.

 "What a curiosity our new political correctness has made of our public spaces. Let your sex tape loose on the Internet and
be rewarded with your own TV show; photograph a crucifix in a jar of urine and our museums will vie to exhibit it; occupy someone else’s
property and you will be hailed by the president for your keen social conscience. But call people who blow up, behead, and mutilate, “savage” —
and polite society will find you offensive."
--Jared Silverman "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."
--Winston Churchill "When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic."
--Benjamin Franklin "The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury."
--George Washington END THE FED
