January 2015 Mustang Sales (and vs. Camaro & Challenger)

[SuperC]

Out of genuine curiosity, what's the problem with GM opting to build the Camaro in Canada?

Because it was the US tax payer that bailed them out.

Mustang6 in person

The Ford dealer, Sunset Hills, MO. has 16 Mustang6s lined up on the front lot. Walking down the row gives that "want to buy one thing." The design is a combo of cool, performance, aero, and some elegance. Elegant is not a word I would describe either of the two Mustangs I have owned with. I think this Stang6 is going to sell well. I got a case of "want to buy one."

Haha. The challenger was always last in the sales graph!

While one data point being Shown has an almost 5x uptick, remember that certain data Isn't being shown.

- Not just a new refresh, the 15' Mustang is a new Nomenclature. That means dealerships have only One Year to get all of their old 14's off the lot, and Fast! In the past, they could afford to keep cars like the Boss and GT500 for a few years, but now, with GT350(&Rs) announced and on the way (much earlier than anticipated), rebates for All 14's are coming faster than virgins on prom night.

- This display/data point of # of Mustangs sold in Jan is a great way to show early success of a redesign or overall brand loyalty, but really it's just a ton front-end rebates on old models: the typical cyclical rotation of redesigned cars under 50k.

I work for the 3rd largest Mustang dealer in the entire 5-state Pacific NW region (based on 2014 calendar year sales). We're completely sold out of new 2014 Mustangs. 99.9% of the new Mustangs we've sold since November have been 2015's. There are less than 1,000 new 2014's left nationwide so most dealers are sold out of them just like we are.

The great Mustang sales numbers the last two months have been result of an awesome new 2015 model, not leftover models with big rebates.

Do we know the split between V6/EB/GT sales? Last time we had that info was in Nov I think.

Good data and thanks for putting it together.

This is a huge win for Ford and the Mustang and without a doubt the camaro lost sales to the mustang and challenger. I calculated around 1k more units then a couple years ago and the mustangs numbers are huge considering only 1k more total sales for all 3.

Hell Cat seems to prove that halo cars can stimulate sales.

I'm curious about this as well.

You are famouse!!

That is a good point and I do keep it in mind. I believe the initial stock is just shipping over as we speak. There is absolutely no data on Mustang sales abroad nor could we really use another local model as a template. The only exception would be Falcon sales in AU, 35,000 last year I think. If sales reach that number, on top of the US's 80,000, it will be difficult to compete with Mustang sales. China, EU and where ever else it's heading may put a sales title out of reach...

...especially if the 6th Gen looks like a 5th Gen and nobody cares. People are not buying 5th Gen's because the 6th Gen is coming. People just aren't buying Camaro's anymore. We're they thinking that the Camaro product life was indefinite?

Only on Camaro5...

Hey Pill, In the past couple of years or so I have been noticing you post on the same forums as I. camaro5, svt, mustang6g, camaro6g. Anyways I notice you tend to get a lot of heat for your intelligent posts, you tend to be right more then not in your debating. I have never noticed any negativity from you, so keep up the good work and keep them posts coming, Anyway I just got banned on camaro5 because I was simply disagreeing with one of there posters, anyhow they threw a couple of cheap shot at you in this..... thread.http://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=393286&page=3
By the way my user name on C5G was GMowner1 and if you click on the final page in that thread, you will see they suspended my account for trolling. HA! I didn't realize challenging their opinions warranted getting banned. I cant believe this guy would not buy a Mustang because of you. HA Crazy!

I am interested in the '15 V6. Can you write a review of your Mustang? I am most interested in comments about the transmission.

Thanks to MagneticA

I appreciate the posters review of his 2015 V6 sent in private message. It confirms my own calculation about engines. Even though the 5.0 Coyote is super it is overkill for the way I will use the car-DD. Like MagA I have always steered away from forced induction. There is a throttle response lag and the benefit is at the top end. A DD does not operate at the top end. The 3.7 liter VTCi is now the Lincoln flag ship power plant. I think it is a good package in a stang6 and I think it is great buy-$25K with some haggle? The 2015 V6 Mustang is the best looking entry level Mustang of all the generations.

One of those sales was mine. Nice win for Ford.
