August 2018 Mustang Sales

[thehunterooo]

I like kicking dead horses (camaro) it's fun Mustang 2 camaro 0

Only question now is when is Greedy Motors going to pull the plug on this smoldering pile of guano

You wish it would go away because the Camaro smokes that joke of a car you drive!

Too bad no one is making the graphs anymore. I would do it if someone had the excel files.

Mine was in July, so a bit off topic.

I tried to buy a Camaro. I went '16 Mustang GT to '16 Challenger Scat Pack to '18 Mustang GT. I saw another Mustang as a bit of a step back, since I had a '16 and decided to give the Camaro a chance, since it's "magazine fastest" of the pony cars. Local Chevy dealer had 2 black 1SS 1LE '18s on the lot. It would have cost me about $1K more than the GT Premium I ended up buying out the door. I really tried to like it, but I just couldn't. I don't like the body style, the interior is REALLY funky and the tank turret effect is ridiculous.

I've had my GT for 7 weeks and about 1200 miles so far and I'm quite sure I did the right thing.

Preferring a stick, that damn electric parking brake in the Camaro was enough to turn me away. What a ridiculous feature.

Why didn't you like it? I preferred it over this handbrake. Kind of an antique.

The delay in activation/release and not being certain that it was actually set. You can have it, I'll take the "antique" hand brake any day.

One of the features i like about our daily, 17 Mazda 6 is the electric hand brake.. It wasnt "must buy the car feature" it doesnt bother me either way. Im surprised its a "enough to turn me away" feature.. Crazy how something so small make such a big deal in a decision to buy a car.. Going to have a hard time buying a car in the future when its implemented on all models

It wasn't the only reason, but it certainly didn't help. Now, I don't have to worry about it for awhile. If I have to get used to it down the road, I will. I just found it really annoying.

GT5.0 gets a thanks for finding this data.
3,379 Camaro units sold in August. Not strong sales.
Assuming it is accurate, there is no buzz for C6G.

It has to be frustrating for GM. They use a great Caddy ATS
sub frame, magnashocks, add Corvette power, sport sculpted
C5G body motif and should have a sales winner, right? Wrong.
It is not about parts, it is about package, design, and identity.

It's about personality camaro has none. Mustang has a mystic that can't be matched.

There really is no delay. Maybe a second? Most technology modern cars have it.

Well it has a higher ATP so it is a sales winner.
