6500 sales in a single month IS NOT fine. Especially for a product that's only 10 months old in this genre.I think the take away is that Camaros sell fine if they are priced competitively with the Mustang. A 32% drop in sales of any model will make the manufacturer take a step back. Ford does not want to end up like GM with 2X the inventory that they need. That insures they will have to dump the cars with huge incentives- although Ford did have to offer 0% and 4-5K incentives to get rid of the 16's here in the Atlanta area. I think Dodge may be the best positioned of the 3, but all the dealers around here have 5-10 Helllcats sitting on their lots. 70K cars like that are tough sells.
I personally don't like the Camaro styling, but the V6 and SS are mechanically superior cars. Don't know about the turbo 4 since I've never driven one. But really, its hard to buy a car that you just don't like to look at.
