That our cars are just "unsophisticated". We've been called rednecks and hillbillies for simply liking the sound of a V8 over most other engine noises. The Fast and Furious wave brought in a huge amount of enthusiasts for Japanese cars that trashed American cars and their owners for decades. Somehow in 2020 with a car that has world class performance, most people still think of Camaro drivers as mullet sporting morons. The writing is just about on the wall for the Camaro, pony cars, and V8's. GM is going balls deep into electric. Ford put the Mustang name on a CUV which is designed for old women, a fricking CUV! Magazines have traditionally crapped all over us and our cars. Now that the Camaro has finally won over SOME journalists, it isn't selling, and it's too expensive for most of the people that still like the car. Can you blame us for getting defensive at times?

Well, it has already happened to JDM. Modern JDM is pretty much dead at this point.
