People are seeing once more that they don't need xbawksheug cars like the 80s. The upside to this, we're getting sportier and fun to drive cars to satisfy the wide audience that wants such a car without having to make the sacrifices that had to be made during the late 70s and early 80s..
IE: Cadillac Cimmaron. <_<

Well manufacturers are well capable of building fun, functional, stylish vehicles with plenty of power
and good fuel-efficiency...the point was that Europe has been way ahead in this area because they needed to be...fuel is very expensive there. We have been spoiled with relatively low fuel prices here (very low compared to Europe) and until recently US auto manufacturers and US consumers had little incentive to give up there large/inefficient vehicles.
