Retired from GM
Actually GM does sell Camaros (and just about any other car / truck) to rental companies. They just don’t offer them aggressive discounts. So you don’t see as many of them at the rental counters, but they are there.GM doesn't sell to rental companies just Ford and if you check all Mustang sales are all to fleet customers at least that's what c6g says.
My Camaro is the first convertible I’ve ever owned. When I decided to retire I knew I was getting a V8 convertible, so that narrowed it down to SS, ZL1, Grand Sport, and Z06. I wound up with the SS because I don’t like the way Corvette convertibles look with the top up. So that narrowed it to SS and ZL1. My insurance company made that decision for me. Insurance for ZL1 is insane in Michigan. Plus, I’d probably never really use the extra 200 hp. And the 50th Anniversary package was not available for ZL1.
If I was a “free agent” and deciding between a GT vert and an SS vert I would have still wound up with the SS. In my opinion, Mustang verts look like notchback Mustangs with the top up. They look great with the top down, but I just can’t take the profile with the top up. The fastback profile of the coupes is sexy as hell, but that gets lost with the vert. Add to that the “no-stop drop top” and HUD and that pretty much sealed the deal. The amount of trunk space in the Camaro is less of an issue than the shape of the opening. I’m a weekend musician. I have amps that are small enough to fit in my trunk, but they won’t pass through the opening, so they travel in the backseat / package shelf. The shape of the trunk opening is my single biggest gripe with the car at all.
