| I honestly don't think politics had one damned thing to do with the general collapse of the sedan market... I just think it was a drastic shift in mainstream automotive consumer trends and preferences. |

I know it wasn't perfect by any means, but it still kills me that Chrysler FINALLY had a decently competitive compact sedan... at exactly the moment sedan sales cratered. (I have similar feelings about the Chrysler 200 of the same era)
Hell, with us getting the EU-market Focus again, and GMDAT's supremely adequate Cruze (including a hatch!)… the domestic manufacturers all finally had non-embarrassing compact cars. Then the crossover movement finally reached its zenith and buried the sedan segment. |

| I still think the world of Mosler and his ambitious approach to making off-beat, but quite fascinating, vehicles. |

| I still can't believe there was a time where Honda risked their entire build-quality/reliability reputation by putting their badge on a FUCKING DISCOVERY. |

| Honda had extremely consistent (and handsome) styling in the '80s... whether it was a Honda Today or an Acura NSX, there were those little styling tweaks and themes that permeated every car, and it was scalable and WORKED. |

| I'm quite fond of that styling... it's essentially a beefed-up, stretched-out version of the AE86 Trueno's styling... and that's not a bad thing. |

| They went EV-only in America... which might not have been a bad idea, if their EV tech/range weren't so laughably outdated. |
