Even when they tried (GTO) they failed (they made the styling bland). They stuck with the same approach through thick and thin, plodding forward... they never tried altering their approach. I have always felt that the B3 were completely disconnected from their potential buyers.

Don't try to blame the consumers in a capitalist society. This is what America is all about: freedom to buy the best products as we wish. The B3 never tried to keep pace with a changing market and now its biting them in the ass. Even today, the only Dodge commercials you see are for their new trucks - seriously??????
