Nothing you said is accurate. You must never have seen the Fast and Furious or you would know there was a Lightning in the 90s. It is not new.
Other brands started shitting on their own branding in the late 00s, early 10s.
Fair on the 1990s Lightning, and no, I don't get my automotive history from bad movies.
Cadillac shat on its branding in the 80s with the Cimarron. Mercedes did a bad job with the ML320 in the late 80s. Ford's malaise era Thunderbird was extra malaisey. BMW has always been kind of hit or miss, they've always tried to be closer to the bleeding edge of technology, and that doesn't always work out. Chrsyler K cars were so famously disposable that you can't even find them anymore, but none of their cars have really been super reliable since the 70s.
My point still stands. Your understanding of automotive history is bad, and you should feel bad.
Was there a Cimarron V I'm unaware of? ML320 AMG? I'm still not sure what you're trying to say but whatever it is you're being an unnecessary giant dick about it so you can get fucked and blocked. You don't know what you're talking about.
I mean to say that all these manufacturers have “shit on their prestige” many times, way before you were born.
And it’s not an airport, you don’t need to announce your departure.
