Better in every way? I'll buy that. A million times better in every way? I'm not so sure. There were many 'stang diehards who had to chime in, but there were a few valid points like that GM has had four years to better the Mustang, new Mustang comes out soon with upgrades for sure, V-6 pricepoint will likely still bode in Mustang's favor, and Mustang still appeals to a wider audience, even if it is a lesser vehicle.

Yes, look to the left and see that I drive an '06 GT. But I am not a 'stang diehard by any stretch. It's just that when I was in the market two and a half years ago, what was there? There was a very new Mustang, a four door family sedan with no manual transmission called Charger R/T for neutered soccer dads, and an odd GTO. Now there is Camaro and Challenger again. Say what you want, but if it wasn't for that car which is "a million times lesser in every way", this Camaro would never exist.

Be it CTS or Corvette, my next car is GM. But damn, this Camaro is looking good. I only wish it were here back in '06!
