Was this really just until the late 80s? I’m pretty sure I had cars with a traditional throttle cable with model years in the 90s or later.

The Honda S2000 had a throttle cable until... the 2006 model year I believe. I don't know how prevalent this was in the early 2000s.

Mazda Miata (MX-5) had it in the NB model (until 2005) too.

My 2002 Tacoma has a throttle cable.
