Camaro Bests Mustang In June Sales
Camaro Bests Mustang In June Sales
The General wasn't bluffing when they said the Chevy Camaro might out-perform the 2010 Mustang in early summer sales. The Camaro was the best-selling muscle car in June by more than 1,000 units. Building on the excitement over the new car, no doubt helped by Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, the Camaro achieved sales of 9,320 units, compared to just 7,632 for the Mustang. Could this be the start of a trend? http://jalopnik.com/5305620/camaro-b...-in-june-sales |

Re: Camaro Bests Mustang In June Sales
- Camaro was over hyped by GM for 5 years prior to release
- Mustang has a summer fun convertible option - Mustang has sync - Mustang has navigation - Mustang has the track pack - Mustang never left the market and is America's true living legend - Mustang Shelby GT500 is the top dog - Mustang exterior/interior/suspension were heavily revised and are all better than the Camaro - Mustang handles better - Mustang is just as fast (actually faster considering the top-dog GT500) - Mustang offers a glass roof - Mustang has been in continual production and is America's favorite pony car - Camaro's are for rednecks or hairy chested women - Camaro's trunk can barely hold a shoe box - Camaro is too heavy and too wide for parking I probably forgot a few, but yeah, NO WAY the Camaro should have ever outsold the Mustang. Remember, the Camaro was killed for a reason, so to say there was pent up demand couldn't be farther from the truth. The few who did like the Camaro surely lost interest after seeing the car everyday for over 5 years. I just don't get it.

Re: Camaro Bests Mustang In June Sales
Where's the V-6 Mustang Vs V-6 Camaro comparisons?
After all, the 6 cyl is the best selling Mustang. That's what I thought. |

Remember back in, what was it, 2007? When the Trailblazer outsold the Explorer for that one month? And everyone on GMI lost their collective ISH celebrating/gloating? This is like that. I'm happy for Chevrolet, the Camaro, the Canadians, and GM. I hope it's sustainable.

Re: Camaro Bests Mustang In June Sales
I think he said 10,000 orders have yet to be filled...so I think we will at least see the Camaro #1 for 2 months.

Re: Camaro Bests Mustang In June Sales
I can agree with that.
Frankly, I'm amazed that some are so surprised by this. With 8 years of pent up demand, I'm surprised the difference isn't greater than it is.............. or the orders left to be filled isn't larger. Of course, that is probably more a symptom of the economy, than anything else. |

The concept didn't appear until 2006. 3 1/2 years from concept to production is about par. .
