Car insurance, thats what happened. In order for a young guy to get a v-8 car the insurance is as much(if not more) as the damn payment for the car every month. Second would probably be reliability, Honda's, etc are known for reliabililty, Ford's on the other hand are not. Plus, just to be different. When you think about it, its the same now as it was then. Only times have changed, gas and insurance has skyrocketed, cars are more complex, parents are working and not teaching their kids about the v8's from back then. I'm sure there's more...
