Hit with oil shocks and stagflation in the 1970s, U.S. consumers returned to their original desire for basic
transportation. The Big Three automakers couldn’t believe that the line between core and augmented was moving
again – but the Japanese could. They swept in with precisely what Americans now wanted – cars that would get you there and back again reliably and cheaply.This time, an entire industry had been wallowing in the tar pit of denial, unable to imagine that eight-cylinder behemoths
weren’t the last word.

(uporczywie) trwać w swoim zaślepieniu / zaprzeczeniu
Cos w sensie, ze z tym zaslepieniem bylo im zupelnie dobrze (stad 'wallow'). Nawet "rozkoszowali sie swoim zaślepieniem"
Natomiast jezeli planujesz pozostac przy Freudzie (bo cos mi sie zdaje, ze gdzies go widzialam w twoim tekscie) to jednak proponuje uzyc 'zaprzeczenie' zamiast 'zaslepienia'
