Q1 2019 sales

[Schwerin]

I've hard 5 Fords, 1 Nissan, and 1 Infiniti. The Infiniti had been to the dealer for work more than any of the other cars, and I only had it 1 year. My dada gets a new F-series every 5 years sing 1980. None have required any form of major work.

All of my Fords total have had less work than any of my friends VW/Audi products, all of which have had engine or transmission failures. I actually don't have any friends that buy GM or FCA. They all have Honda or Audi/VW.


Also the 2002 Z28 did like 13.7, thats slower than the 4.6 3v GT's, and the 2v would do 13.9-14.0 and was only $400 more than a base Z28.

Weird, I've had two Infinties and one was dead reliable (g35 coupe) the other (G37S Coupe) ended up being a buy back.

Mechanically it was fine, it was electronics issues.

Same here. The radar guided cruise control would not work and the car would go into limp mode all the time.

Haven't seen the numbers here yet, so here they are (% = compared to Q1 2018):

Mustang 16,917 (-11.7%)
Challenger 13,431 (-24%)
Camaro 12,083 (+2.5%)

The numbers are copied from "the other forum"

Does anyone know how to find the number of 2016 and 2017 California Special Mustangs that were produced?

1LE with the A10 I may jump in, I dont know why the 1LE looks so much better than a SS but it does...

Why? Your Subaru is awesome!

On that token, it took the Camaro 2 years after it was reintroduced, to have a faster model than the Terminator that came out over a decade before it. Even then, they still didn't have anything as fast as the GT500. The Camaro currently has a great platform (borrowed from Cadillac), but the exterior and interior are sorely lacking. That's the reason it's had trouble with sales. The vast majority of buyers are concerned with looks. That's why the Challenger is still around and selling well on an ancient platform and relatively no major design changes in... well.. a loooong time. If the Camaro is to ever sell well again, it is going to have to have a major refresh, like the S197 -> S550. I'm not sure that's going to happen in time. GM isn't bashful about discontinuing cars that don't sell.

I’m going with mainly the interior. And sight lines as the cars biggest down fall. It’s a good looking car from an exterior view. Even the funky 2019 bumper. Doesn’t look to horrible in dark colors.

Let’s be straight here. Is it really about which car sells most?

That really is a limp argument.

It does not really matter BUT C6G clearly stated that more sales = better car. Then it was more retail sales = better car. For whatever reason people don't like C6G and won't go on there to read but it was said a ton of times.

Man, what's with all the Camaro hate. They are awesome cars, and I'm digging the 19 redesign.

I think a lot of it is from the bailout. That's my opinion and I agree. They didn't play fair, so bye bye Camaro.

 

[GreenS550]

Still think the Challenger is the best retro styling. Still can't see out of the Camaro. I was at the Chevy dealer sitting in the drivers seat in the showroom and told the salesman. " I can't see good out of the front windshield" to which he got irritated with me and said. "People just get a pillow to sit on". I said that my head is hitting the roof and I still can't see good. He just walked away.

Chevy is toast. Likely they'll need another bailout. I don't think Mr. Trump will help.

It's pretty F ing bad gm has to throw in sierra sales with silverado to beat Ram sales. That's like the c6g guys throwing in corvette and malibu sales to beat Mustang sales.

Except the Sierra is to the Silverado what a Mercury version of the Mustang would be.

The problem is, all 3 of the big 3 took bail out money, some just took it after it was too late to recover. Ford got 5.9 billion right before the bail out bill was approved. GM going 51 billion but they paid back 39 billion of it. I think GMAC took 17 billion and paid back 19 and change. Chrysler took the least, but it still cost the tax payers over a billion in the end. They're all the same.
