David Hawkins Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 I like the "Bumble Bee" look. It's a shame GM hasn't done anything about the major "Blind Spots". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyBlueHeaven Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 I'm not a big fan of the Camaro but that white Z28 is pretty nice. The orange or yellow, whatever it is above the white Z28 is hideous. When I bought my SGT the wife liked the Camaro, we even looked at one, she sat in it and was completely unimpressed, and as said in other posts she absolutely hated the blind spots. That being said, I'm glad I didn't have to get in an arguement over which car to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05mustangman Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Have never liked the Camaro. Sat in the new ones and the material are just ridiculously cheap. And the visibilty is terrible. That Bumblebee just looks weird. It looks like its squinting or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbj Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 I kind of like the Bumblebee's squint look. Now, I don't know if it's the camera angle or what, but it looks like a 4X4 for ride height. That I don't like. My stock Mustang GT was the same way, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HyperStangs Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 I might be biased, but I think they're headed on the wrong direction. Just my .02. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07SGT Posted July 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 As we all know Mustang sales are down and Camaro sales are up. Maybe Ford held on to the retro look too long? But the new Mustang will be out for 2015 and guess what..........then Camaro will come out with a new model for 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secondo Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Mustang sales in June: Over 10K Camaro: Over 7K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07SGT Posted July 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Sadly, Camaro outsold the Mustang in 2010, 2011 and 2012. Camaro outsold Mustang in Jan, Feb, March, April, of 2013. Ford may have outsold Camaro for one month in June of 2013 but this appears to be an abberation. Numbers don't lie. Ford needs to do something to make the Mustang more appealing to more buyers.

Captain Beyond Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Wow :eek5: , they managed to make an already ugly car even uglier. :barf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secondo Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Mustang outsold Camaros by a larger margin in May and June. I believe the reason why Camaros have barely outsold Mustangs in 2010, 11 & 12 was because of its return; all of its enthusiasts we're finally able to buy one again after its 8-year hiatus, not because the Mustang is less appealing. All the magazines report that the Mustang is highly rated over the Camaro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIKEBOY Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Mustang sales are on a high right now! :happy feet: Maybe 'cuz of some folks being skeered of what Ford 's plans are for the '15 and wanna get one of the last of the retro cars? Or........................? Either way, the Mustang nameplate is NOT dead by any means bro! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiaCobra Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 I'm not sure about sales numbers but to be honest, I see more Mustangs on the road than I see Camaros or Challengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbj Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 I wonder if sales are regional, might be nice to see that. While subjective only, I travelled to Dallas recently, and it seemed Mustangs outnumbered Camaros on the road. Here in Colorado, I see more Camaros than Mustangs.

07SGT Posted July 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 There most certainly are more mustangs on the road than camaros, but for the last 3+ years Camaro has outsold the Mustang. I agree with secondo that many/most of those sales were to die hard GM owners that have had to hold their breath for years for the return of the Camaro, ilconceived as it may be. And I agree that the Mustang is better looking. But the younger generation may be inclined towards the bumblebee transformer camaro and its newer shape. And the camaro is somewhat retro also. But I will always prefer the Mustang. I look forward to the new Mustang and hope they execute the design properly. And IRS, and other goodies.

David Hawkins Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 I know a LOT of "Die Hard" Chevy Folks that bought the Camaro only to later regret it or traded it in on a Mustang GT. The Number One Complaint? Tied between major Blind Spots and Cheap Interior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 That's interesting. I saw an article a few weeks ago that had BB as a hideously modded '68 Camaro SS. I wonder if both will be used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 Camaro beat Mustang Jan-April, '14 Camaro debuted in April, Mustang beats Camaro pretty badly in May and June. Based on that, I think a good case could be made for people waiting on the '14 Camaro right now. I'll bet Camaro sales go back up when it hits the streets. Whether the refreshed Camaro beats the Mustang or sells as well as the outgoing version is a different question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secondo Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 I wonder when Chrysler will refresh their Challenger. It's 7 model years old and looks the same as it did when it debuted in '08. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeljgt500kr Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 I hear they are working on a new 'Cuda, that would be good if they can get it looking svelte and racy instead of fat and dumpy like the Chally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07SGT Posted July 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 that is the problem with the Challenger, size and weight. Or at least two of its problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubbsFaris Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Im ecstatic that GM keeps making changes and whatever they do doesnt bother me one little bit. I am glad the Camaro is such a departure from the Mustang. The last thing we want is everything looking the same. and two more things- If it werent for the reemergence of the Camaro, the ZL1, and the Z28, The GT500 would not be what it is today. So Im thankful for that! If more people are buying camaros than mustangs, then that means there at least 51% of street races we all can win!!

richstang Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Mustang outsold Camaros by a larger margin in May and June.

All the magazines report that the Mustang is highly rated over the Camaro. I also agree with this statement. GM fans were waiting and waiting for something sporty that wasn't a 2 seat Corvette. Not everyone likes to drop down into a low sitting sports car. I'm not a fan of the new generation Camaro to begin with. It looks amped up on steroids and too boxy with a dated '99-04 Mustang edge style. On this Camaro restyle, I definitely don't like the color break with the lower 1/4 of the body in black. It breaks up the body, making it appear like some type of Subaru 4x4 competitor. That front end style is something I'll need to see at other angles but it seems to have lost it's American design roots. just my 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
