Secondo Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Speculation, but Chevy needs to fire the head designer who seems to want to kill its sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mhr1961 Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 (edited) Another excellent GM marketing strategy…………….where GM failed with the Camaro is not only recent design updates, they never developed a decent 4 cylinder to compete with the Ecoboost Mustang, Yeah there are the typical few V-8 fogeys on here who cry that a Mustang shouldn’t have a four cylinder…….but the fact is they should be glad there is one. Why? Because it is a big seller, and it reduces economies of scale, and overall cost for other Mustang Platforms and V-8 Mustangs, and therefor making multiple editions of the car more affordable to more people.. The 4 cylinder Ecoboost also provides a good entry level for new and younger upcoming Mustang fans. GM Camaro sales were down over 25% in 2018….. not everybody wants a V-8, or V-6 for that matter in a pony car. Once again GM didn’t listen and it is going to cost Camaro fans………they will probably once again have to watch the Camaro disappear from the automotive landscape…… but don’t worry GM is still ignoring the market and they are going to shove yet another V-8 in a Vette to please a dying market. Brilliant……… GM shouldn't be focusing on ZL1,ZR1, or Z whatever, or any other V-8 engine, they should be focusing on an engine that will save the Camaro......... and it ain't a V-8. Ford already proved that. Edited June 26, 2019 by mhr1961 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry T Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 Very sad indeed ... poor decisions all around ... hopefully some changes come to help keep the muscle car wars alive and kicking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
