Damn they are really pumping those things out. I asked a guy why he chose a challenger, he said bc you see a lot less of them everyday. Guess he was right.

They only build around 1,500 per month I've heard too.

Awesome, and the Convertible isn't out yet and I bet that will sell pretty good as well. More so when the Z28 finally arrives next year.

The Camaro has been out for at least a year now, you can't say that about the mustang. Might be a little early to start celebrating. Lets revisit this in a year.

The Mustang is the same car that's been out since 2005 with a refresh that was over a year ago.

This is relative to production numbers.

The Mustang, in the eyes of the general public, has been out for 6 years now. 80% of the buyers that account for the sales numbers we are discussing don't know the 2011 mustang from the 2006 outside of the fact that it's five years newer and has different wheels. This is the very same reason that I mentioned four months ago when I said the Camaro will continue to outsell the Mustang until something newer (complete redesign) arrives.

That exactly why I say lets revisit this in a year. The Camaro which has been gone since 2002 in now a hot seller. Everybody wants one, if the mustang goes away for 7 years and comes back. The first year it does so you will see the same thing. Let things calm down in a year and then look at the numbers.

I think that the Camaro and the Mustang are attracting different segments of drivers. Locally and on all the different message boards that I'm on it seems the Camaro is attracting a older generation of buyer, while the 2011 Mustang is attracting a younger generation.
Most of the buyers for the Camaro are buying it on nosatlgia and looks; while the Mustang owners are buying them for their performace to take to the track.

That's because all the old guys who wanted retro mustangs already got theirs. They've had 5 years of cars to choose from.

I will say that most of the old guys I know don't like any of the new retro cars. At least not to own. I only know of people around my age and younger that are interested in them...and again, most of them prefer the Camaro or Challenger SIMPLY BECAUSE they think they are the newer designs.

The new Camaro is extremely popular.
I see more and more of them everyday.

In fact, it's gotten to the point where I see more 5th gens than I do 4th gens.

Iam very happy that the camaro is a hit for gm. The only reason mustangs are still selling is cause everyone wants the new 5.0 and a dealers will deal with you on a mustang vs the camaro dealer wanting top dollar.

Around here, 90% of the Mustang drivers are girls...new or old.
