They even got rid of some of the older muscle cars, like the Chevelle, Challenger, Dart, and Nova. People in the 90's wanted more fuel efficient cars, so they started making more compact and fuel efficient cars, and importing more foreign cars, like Honda, Toyota, and Nissian.

Fads

Many of the popular fads were toys, like Magical Nursey Babies, Stretch Armstrong, Giga Pets, Super Game Boy, and Pound Puppies. The most popular toy was probably the Easy Bake Oven or the Nursery Baby in my opinion, because every girl loved cooking with her Easy Bake Oven, while taking care of her Baby. It made children feel more like adults.
