I looked at that earlier and the only thing that got me was... laughter at the comments! Many are of the mindset that the sales numbers are soon to change, apparently not aware it will be months before the 16 hits dealers or that Camaro #'s were totally in line... and... they're clearly not considering that Mustang just went on sale overseas and those numbers aren't included by all indications.
Someone mentioned the "fire sale" for Camaro and that was disputed. I looked just yesterday and $1,750 off or 3.9%(60mo) is what I saw, not seeing limitations, but they were talking about a December and early Jan sale @ 20% off and I wasn't aware of that in the least. Then there was the 'Yeah, but Mustangs are for women and that's why the sell more." nonsense, till someone showed the take rate in NY of 72% men for Mustang. Camaro didn't make the top 10 list, but we know from another recent article, more women are buying it than ever before. I think that's a great thing and any argument otherwise is merely a lame attempt at machismo.
At any rate, Mustang sales were strong, particularly for a January, and much is because it's a new model. Camaro sales weren't at all bad either... 5.5% higher than last year. It just looks bad since it's lopsided. I see nothing wrong with it and wouldn't even think of panic if I were GM. A new model is coming and the current is doing fine.

With that, it wasn't really a sale... maybe we could actually call it a fire sale, but it wasn't a Chevrolet "every dealer" sale. It probably didn't apply to any dealerships near me, being in Florida.
