there are those that will always prefer a lighter, efficient, balanced car with good power/weight ratio and reliability over an all out brute. Any car housing the LS motors tends to be 3200lbs and over, add AWD to that and you're in some heavy car approaching 4000lbs. I wouldn't say the import era is over, I'd say they are taking a back seat right now. If they would sell a turbocharged RWD car under 25k, it would sell like hotcakes right now, what with all the drifters. Just my opinion from someone who rides the fence 
Holy crap, John
Id love to compare quotes from 3 years ago to todays quote(then again, i may have ahcnaged a bit from my first days on here ) LOL
I actually agree with John. The import manufactures are to blame for this.
