The simple answer really isn't being a smart-a**; it's just being honest: Because not enough people bought them.
It doesn't get any simpler than that! BPWe've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?" Too many people are taking it as a challenge.

My thought is, they fell victim to the price wars between the big three and were not able to compete price wise. This led them to make decisions to just make minor cosmetic changes to the cars and not make the technical changes and do the R&D to keep up with other advancements. They were essentially still using a 14 year old frame and suspension design at the end. And as you said, they made some gambles that did not pay off. Though the Lark kept them alive for a while until the big three caught up with their Nova, Falcon and Dart/Valiant. Those are things I tell people if they want that much info.Pat Dilling
