Last of the cars with Carbs

The latest model car I owned with a carb was a 1985 Mustang GT. I know that the 1989 Hondas still had carbs on the low end model of even the Prelude.

Anyone know when the last of the Gasoline cars dropped carbs, in the USA?

I saw that, but I thought there were some later cars. I think even early 1990s Hondas had carbs.
