Sports cars are a dying breed. Even the Supra is done after next year. Add V8 manuals to the list, they are literally bordering on extinction. What's left, only the Mustang?

I think it's a combination of a lot of things. Prices are insane for everything and a lot of people can't afford a pleasure car sitting in the garage next to their SUV. People need utility, and that's why things like the Durango SRT, and Ford Explorer ST came about, to satisfy the need for utility and the urge for some performance mixed in.

Obviously the EV push has changed things too. I often hear people brag about how much faster their Tesla is than a Mustang/Camaro etc. People lost the enthusiast spirit of actually driving a car with some personality, not just turning on the appliance and charging it every night. Everyone is a red light bandit now and think they're the next Nascar prodigy.
