That's really the most important image... look at those trend lines.

Camaro has been on the path to death. Mustang has really taken off since 2015 new model.

Because the mustang now is the ONLY of the 3 that is GLOBAL. Id expect that to account for some of the increase in sales aswell!

Competition forces both companies to make better products.

Competition brought about the 6th Gen Camaro.. slimmer, lighter, more agile, and powerful... what did that get them? Long story short....

Everyone here is quick to bring out how that benefits the customer... but your improvements don't come along for free. Cars aren't getting cheaper and your improvements caused by competition isn't making it any better.

These numbers are USA only. Global sales and even Canadian sales are not included in that graphic.

I'm not a huge fan of the modern Camaros, but this one is beautiful. Would be very interested to see GM head in this direction.

I was also surprised to see how well the Mustang sold, and the relatively low sales of the Camaro. I've been seeing quite a few Camaros recently, so I thought they had finally gained some momentum. The look of the car is growing on me, especially the ZL1. It's a very impressive vehicle, but then, so is the Mustang.

I personally can't wait to see what awesome-ness FORD will bring with the GT 500, or should I be calling it GT750 ?!

If they included global sales. That graph would be off the chart. The S550 Mustang is the best selling sports coupe in a lot of European countries. The S550 design was a grand slam, Inside the park home run!

I had a 79 Z28 back in the day. Great looking car. A modern version of that would sell. And it would be much easier to build something that people wouldn't mind being in. The second and third gens offered a lot of outward visibility. That is a big strike against the 6th gen. I sold a 5th gen Camaro. Because I hated the sight lines and the interior. I liked the appearance of the 5th gen......As long as I didn't have to be inside it.:shrug:

The GT base mustang has proven to me that with the 3.55:1 gear it's a performer. The Camaro is just too expensive in these financial times. Now if our economy gets a lift and good paying jobs reappear the Camaro sales will improve.

Wow. That was quite the jump from last month.

 

[bluebeastsrt]

GM got themselves in trouble listening to these guys last time. And it sounds like these guys want the same nonselling car with gadgets!:doh: GM do yourself a giant favor and give people a car they can see out of at a lower price. Don't listen to this thread!!!!!!!!!!

The one post in there is pretty sensible in regards to the styling and design not appealing to the 20-30 age group and I'd agree. Not going to get into it though because it's the same things talked about every single month. The only thing that needs to be noticed here is, GM is IS struggling to sell a car that was intended to sell WAY better.

Yes 1969 and the Chevy 1969 Z28 had the same HP

Hopefully FCA makes it that long.

They are starting to get desperate looking for a buyer I'm hearing.
