Lot being said about front end design. I see the ‘15-’17 Mustang front end as like the Shelby 500 front end on the 2005-2009 S197s. I think one of the best Mustang front ends ever. The extra 1 inch of radiator height is good for hot wx driving also. The 2018 Mustang is sleek slimmer and IMO...
Like Spidey, back to sales. Glad Ford is not killing the Mustang along with the Taurus, Fusion and Fiesta. Just two passengers cars left. Focus and Mustang. Just one rear wheel drive car. I like it that Mustang has competition from Camaro and Challenger. It ensures the survival of all three...
I studied this < http://www.motortrend.com/cars/chevr...ck-comparison/ > have no issue with the results. What does a buyer want out of car? If 3 seconds at Willow Springs keeps you up at night get the GT350. A GT can be after market modded to make up 3.0 seconds but why do that? Buy the 350...
GM will report Camaro sales July 3, 2018 for the second quarter.
They say it is too costly and of little value to report monthly.
I say GM. like all auto makers. uses an ERS (enterprise resource system)
hosted by an Oracle or Microsoft SQL database and networked world wide
by Cisco hardware and...
Wow. This is a description of a poor ownership experience. My honest answer: My 2007 GT Premium had one issue. The Takata AirBag. That is all. My 2017 V6 no issues yet. It only has 10,000 miles because i have 3 cars. Notice I bought in 3rd year of the model releases. Traditionally, bugs and...
Your point is true, I think. To restate last months point, the Challenger size is a US thing and most people don't have a problem with it. HP sells cars and FCA has bet on HP. I snapped a pic from a used car lot I drive, walk or bicycle by everyday. To be fair this lot has sold many a Mustang...
Yes, definitely the most SUVish. That makes it a different segment. It ain't a pony car. Could be a high powered taxicab. This is the Mustang site. There is no auto badge in production more true to it's identity than Mustang. Steve McQueen's front engine rear drive 2 door coupe fastback was...
Good point you make. I see the Challenger more like the T-Birds, StarFires, Riveras of the '60s. Those were cool cars, with plenty of punch, they had upscale prices, and were desirable. Same for today's Challenger. I kind of like it and think anyone who buys one will be happy. That said, I...
I agree. I would take a NA 5.0L Coyote over a twin boosted V6. Performance wise the two would rival each other and that would confuse the buyer. Cost wise they would be equal also. I also agree Ford should have shown more preference for the 3.7L V6. 300 HP is not in the muscle car conversation...
Challenger Impression
I think it a big deal for Challenger to to take the monthly sales lead. As a Mustang guy (I own two) I cannot knock Challenger. I understand their appeal and why they sell. That said, I would not buy one. The differences in Challenger vs. Mustang are the things I don't...
I have visited the Flat Rock Plant. It is efficient and modular. The S197s were built there alongside Mazada 6s in the mid '00s.. Ford could do anything with the plant. The S95 was a 10 year program. The S197 was a 10 year program. Flat Rock is tooled for S550 and that is a ten year program. The...
Please Don't Miss The Point
Was not referring to member blog but Homepage feature article. When Cam leads a sales month it is balloons, boasting, and color pictures on the Camaro6G Homepage with a hyper link to the blog. When Cam trails a sales month, Cam6G Homepage features tech news and...
"Redesign so people can live with it every day (beltline height and shape, rear seat space, trunk opening and volume, vents that blow at the shifter and not your face), lower base price (decontent equivalent Perf Pack out of 1SS)."
BmacIL has a good eye and hits on design keys that work against...
January 3, 2018
Mustang sales (YoY) were up 9.2 percent last month, with 7,714 units sold.
Camaro sales (YoY) decreased 45.69 percent last month to 3,802 units sold.
A 3912 unit trouncing. The trouncing part is bigger than the monthly Camaro total. When Camaro leads a month, the camaro6G site...
This is like saying "Nobody should look at pictures of Marilyn Monroe because so many people look at pictures of Marilyn Monroe." When you're hot you're hot. Mustang is hot, Camaro is not. Sales set them apart. So which DVD are you going to buy, the Marilyn Monroe movie or the Rosie O'Donnell...
Turn out the lights the party is over
2016 Camaro 6 selling under 5000 in June and getting bested again by Challenger is the end of the road for any Camaro 6G introduction sales spike. It is happening in reverse. Chevy paid much to fill Indianapolis with a 6G Camaro drivers parade-21 cars, on...
