Trucks, SUVs, and crossovers may dominate the US automotive market, but that doesn't mean passenger cars are going down without a fight. Let's take their 2023 performance as an example.
Last year, the sales tally showed the first seven spots across the best-selling list were covered by the Ford F-Series, Chevy Silverado, Ram pickups, Toyota RAV4, Tesla Model Y, Honda CR-V, and GMC Sierra – all trucks and CUVs. However, we believe that only an impending apocalypse could make Toyota's Camry sedan give up its spot (8th overall last year) as America's top-selling passenger car.
Alongside it, there were other non-high-riders like the Tesla Model 3 (12th), Toyota Corolla (13), Honda Civic (16), and Honda Accord (17), of course. As such, it's clear that although they bring diminished returns, they are still crucial for buyers. Besides, if the offers were more comprehensive, maybe the sales would also be higher, right? Anyway, one thing to note is the disappearance of American passenger cars from the list. But that's understandable since there are so few of them left, anyway.
Ford, for example, is in a particular predicament – its only passenger car is the all-new S650 seventh-generation Ford Mustang, sold as a Fastback coupe and as a Convertible. Interestingly, this is the last of the American pony cars left standing at the moment – as the Chevy Camaro, Dodge Charger, and Challenger all bit the dust late last year. No worries, the imaginative realm of digital car content creators is happy to rectify the situation and give Ford a big sedan companion for the Mustang GT, Dark Horse, and GTD.
For example, Jim, the virtual artist known as jlord8 on social media, loves messing around with all things CGI from GM and Ford, both old and new. He recently took a swing at stuff that combines the old and new to revive nameplates like the Buick Regal T-Type coupe, Ford Taurus SHO, Buick Roadmaster Sedan and Estate, Mercury Marauder, Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, or Mercury Grand Marquis. Now he's back to one of his biggest CGI loves – the rebirth of the Ford Crown Victoria.
Affectionately called 'Crown Vic' by enthusiasts, this full-size sedan was born in 1992 and remained on the market for just two decades. However, it also had a lasting impact that still reverberates in the car community even today. Well, this pixel master thought about a simple way of bringing back the big Ford sedan with a 5.0-liter Coyote V8 under the hood – restart production of the tenth generation Lincoln Continental (2017-2020) with subtle alterations to make it a cheaper Crown Vic heir. So, what do you think – would it be popular among buyers of land yachts or not?
