I don't think I've ever seen an official breakdown of sales by model, would be interesting to see.

Yeah, I thought so too. I've seen a few other major models where you can find things like coupe vs. convertible, and a few that even had major options and color segments.

Do sales always slow down around the Holiday season? Just a few months ago S550 was selling in the 10-12k/month range. 7k/month seems low in comparison.

I would assume so. November is when a majority of the country gets to experience that lovely white snow for the next 6 months. Not exactly when a lot of people want to run out and buy a performance car.

It's just the winter settling in. Most people want 4X4's, SUVs etc. during the winter months, while during the warmer months people sway toward the performance oriented models.

As others have mentioned, it's mostly because of winter setting in and people wanting winter oriented vehicles. Although I believe if we look at some of the charts usually posted with the sales every month that you will notice the sales typically drop off a month or two earlier than this.

I don't know why people other than Ford even look at the sales. Obviously the new model mustang is going to sell more than an outgoing model camaro. And the new camaro will likely sell more than the 2016 mustang. Besides that point, I'd rather own a car that sells less to be slightly more unique.

Some people like statistics. It's what auto manufacturers base future decisions on, so it will give us some insight into where things are moving to.

I wouldn't be so sure the camaro will out sell the mustang by much. The relatively few people, who aren't brand loyal, looking for the best car they can get for 40k probably will buy a camaro. The new camaro wasn't a drastic redesign, stylistically speaking, so it will be interesting to see how much camaro sales jump. It sounds like the camaro will be more expensive to buy as well, so that will play a factor. Everything I have seen says the Camaro is the better performer, but the mustang is the better daily driver which is what the majority of the population looks for.

If you are looking for unique, you are buying the wrong kind of car.

More in-depth information. Obviously we'll have a real head to head starting in January when the majority of the new 6G Camaro's have hit the lots. Even then it won't be really accurate till Chevy gets their 4 cylinder on the market.

November was the worst sales month of the year for the Ford Mustang, marking the first time since October of 2014 sold less than 8,400 new Mustangs. Fortunately for Ford, the pending sales boom of the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro didn’t hit in November, so the Mustang was able to once again beat the Camaro and the Challenger in monthly sales – marking the 13th straight month atop the charts and building its massive annual lead.

November Sales
In November 2015, Ford Motor Company delivered 7,286 new Mustang fastbacks and convertibles. Before November, the worst sales month this year was February, when “only” 8,454 Mustangs were sold and it comes as no coincidence that both November and February both saw significant amounts of snowfall in some parts of the United States. Really, the fact that 7,286 units sold in a month is the worst month since the 2015 Mustang hit the market last November is a very clear sign of just how popular this new model has been – and this only applies to US sales. The 2015/2016 Ford Mustang has proven to be a hit around the world as well, so come January, I expect to see an announcement from Ford laying out global Mustang sales with the Motor Company claiming the title for the world’s bestselling sporty car.

The 2016 Chevrolet Camaro began reaching new owners last month, but the launch of Camaro Six deliveries came too late in the month to have any real impact. The Camaro was up a bit compared to October, but with 5,303 Camaros delivered last month, the 2015 and 2016 Camaros fell well short of the 2015 and 2016 Mustang.

We can expect that to change in December, as more and more 2016 Camaro coupes are being delivered each day, but it stands to be seen whether or not the company will deliver enough new Camaros this month to keep the Mustang from posting a year-long sales title shutout.​
