As predicted, the Camaro product didn't last 12 months.

Once a product dips this low, there's no going back. The lots are filled to the brim with Camaro's nobody wants.

Unfortunately, Camaro are expected to decrease another 15%-25% during the next 12 months. Some even expect sales to drop below 30% regardless of the weather...

They have another solid 24 months in this current configuration before a refresh can save them. However, looking at the overall design, there not really much they can do until Gen 7...



As far as the Mustang, we knew and reported the intended changes for 2018 as far back as 2014. The 2018 refresh is fantastic and comes at the right time. This is a sound business strategy for Ford and poor planning by Team Camaro. None of these numbers should surprise anyone. This very scenario was explored in detail and now it's very much reality.

I said when it came out that it won't last 24 months with poor sales. 3500 in January after your first full 12 months is the very definition of catastrophe...

Looks like Mustang is still kicking ass! Big year over year drop as expected with the refresh coming but clearly the Camaro camp is having issues of some kind! Ford also reported a significant decrease in fleet sales YoY which is great news as well.

I bet the difference is sales to the female gender. Most are shorter than men and would have trouble seeing over the lock buttons on the doors. If I see a woman driving a camaro, it is because she is a fan-girl, or plays basketball at a D1 level.

IIRC that is the worst month for S550 correct? Not to shabby, I thought it would have leveled off long ago.

Camaro.....Ouch

EDIT: Looking at the chart on goodcarbadcar, looks like this was still a pretty strong January for Mustang

SS are very rare to see. Happened to see one yesterday morning and was reminded of why I disliked them. They look nothing like what a Camaro should look like from behind.

That is the lowest for Camaro since before it was discontinued.

It will be the same as always.

Due to politics, weather, time of year, how all the smart people already purchased one and how GM planned it this way. It will also be about how they don't care because it's awesome to own a rare car.

Combination of refresh information, uncertain times with the election making people rethink what they spend cash on, and winter months will do a drop like this.

Keep in mind, people aren't exactly looking to get a RWD pony car when there's a foot of snow on the ground...

That being said, bad numbers throughout the entire industry for last month. Perhaps people aren't looking to get any cars at all when there's a foot of snow on the ground.

It should come as no surprise that Fenwick is running out to defend the savior car. It's only a matter of time before the rest of the true believers come out to either senselessly prop up the Camaro or shout anyone down with "ENOUGH ABOUT SALES FIGURES!"
