Not sure why people make excuses for the camaro. I knew from the second it was released it wouldn't sell for shit. Who wants a camaro for 50 grand? The stickers on these dealer models are all over 48k

 

[Khyber]

same ones have been sitting at dealers here since nov...so even more proof they aren't selling

Reminds me... I had lunch with a buddy of mine today:

Damn, that GT350 is just stunning!

I've only seen two 2016 Camaro's to this date since they've been on lots. But, to be honest...if it weren't for fleet sales, these vehicles wouldn't be able to survive. In San Diego, 2/3's of Camaro's I see are fleet; About half the mustangs are fleet; And Challenger's are about half as-well.

I went to go visit a dealer to see one in person with a college who has a 2012 Camaro. His impression was the same as mine, Its small. He liked it, but was too small for him and eventually decided not to get one. Maybe it didn't help the 2LT V6 was stickered $400 shy of 40 grand.

In the end, I feel Camaro will reign this year and lead in sales once fleet sales pick up for the Camaro.

^The camaro looks so fat, wide, and boxy looking...it's really no surprise

The camaro does not deserve to be in the same picture as the 350-that is a thing of beauty!

I could be wrong here, but it sure appears to me at least, that it’s sales, in a word… sucks.

Even in the absence of the T4 shouldn’t one expect to see much better numbers then this?! I would certainly think so. Wondering if GM executives are swallowing mightly at these numbers…

Camaro is getting it's ass kicked. lol

Obviously I am biased, but I agree 100%. It's got a new Corvette's hood shape, the previous Camaro's body lines, and a Corolla front end.

The previous generation Camaro looks better than the new one, especially the first year it came out.

By the way that 350 is stunning!

Wait til you see the GT550, the "Hellcat killer".

I really hope it's not called the GT550 lol.

 

[MustangDominance]

I really hope it's not called the GT550 lol.

I was talking with a ford racing employee and he let it slip during a convo. I assumed it would be the gt500, and he said, "you mean gt550?"

The spin machine is in full speed production over at Camaro6..some are saying that GM should be pleased...

Pleased with only a jump of less than 200 cars month over month with a brand new Camaro on the lots? Pleased with not having a massive sales success like the 5th Gen? Pleased with a lower performing car (the Mustang) outselling the "MotorTrend Car of the Year" Camaro by over 2,000 cars with production in full swing?

Everyone seems to say "Oh my local dealer hasn't received any yet"..hmm..then why do some dealers have 20+ sitting on their lots? Even in sleepy, non-car centric Southern Oregon the two local Chevy dealers have them sitting on lots. A search on cars.com shows 200 or so 2016's available within 200 miles of me..so availability isn't an issue.

They scream how you can't compare the sales figures since not all the Camaro variants are available yet..but it didn't stop them from comparing the 5th Gen Camaro to the S550 when there was no high performance S550 out yet. Should we not compare 5th Gen vs S550 sales because the Camaro had the ZL1? Maybe we should remove ALL ZL1 and Z/28 sales for any months where the S550 was competing directly against the 5th Gen Camaro to make it fair..so January-November 2015 (when the GT350 finally made it into customer hands)

See? It doesn't make sense. You either compare the sales figures, or you don't. You can't cherry pick and disqualify results based on extremely rigid and easily manipulated conditions to better fit a preconceived bias. When the Mustang was posting huge sales numbers in the first 6 months the Camaro fans were saying it "doesn't really count because there are fire sales on the S197 Mustangs and those are inflating numbers"...well Chevy has a massive inventory of leftover 2014 and 2015 5th Gen Camaro's that are just sitting on lots, despite 0% financing for 72 months and big numbers slapped on hoods.

As of right now the bloom is off the Camaro rose, and only time will tell if the "savior" T4 will rescue it.
