I wouldn't say gay. Just very Beta male, very metrosexual.
The type of men who when buying a car have low pollution emissions, fuel economy and safety star rating as top 3 priorities.

Unfortunately, that's a niche market nowadays. I wonder what the uptake has been like on Commodore and Chrysler 300 sales since October last year? my guess is it's both in the negative figures.
The Chrysler sells in pretty tiny numbers. IICRC it was less than 200 a month, or even less. The whole big RWD market is dying.

Thanks mate, that was my point. The large car segment as a whole in the USA has shrunk dramatically over the years, very much a niche segment worldwide nowadays.

Hmmm and all those senior citizens driving Camrys who I thought were bending over because of old bones and backs have actually changed their sexual orientation.

You just don't know do ya.
