There was really no rhyme or reason behind it. Other than Ford went back to the original styling of the Mustang and it was such a sales hit that Chevrolet was convinced to bring back the Camaro.

It's not like gas was cheap in that time frame.

All we can do is wait for automakers to build cars that get people excited again.
This is a great point. I’m just scared because times are different and things have gotten so expensive. Everyone says the Mustang is too expensive but honestly it’s right in line with pricing for everything else.

Supra costs more
The new Z has insane discounts since no one is buying it. Mustang is priced between them since the discounts aren’t as good as the Z.
I can’t think of any other cars that compete in this segment which is a shame.
