Can you think of any American car that was saved by its “heritage” from falling sales and people defecting to other marques?

When somebody asked you what you drive and you say..."a Mustang" or a "Hyundai" which one will present more "gravitas" err heritage?

I am a guy who likes to be out of main stream in any aspect of life, including the car I drive.
I like to drive cars that express who I am, not just econoboxes or "metoowannabePorschescomelately".

Honestly? If you’re going with heritage/stereotypes?

Mustang = White trash that didn’t have enough money for a Corvette.

Hyundai used to = Someone cheap who didn’t care anything about the appliance they drove.

Hyundai now = Someone who gets good value for money.

FYI, I drive Jaguars. You don’t get too much more “out of the mainstream” than that.
