I hadn't seen it there before and normally I wouldn't have paid any attention, but something seemed... off... about it. So as I made the turn past the house, I rubbernecked a bit and saw that it was, indeed the new model Mustang.

So are these already on lots or does he have something like a CTF? If they're already on lots, I'm sad to say that I'm disappointed the GM couldn't get the Camaros on the street before, or even at the same time as, the new competition.

Does anyone know?

Sorry if this is in the wrong section, but the overall theme seems to me to be related to the Camaro, and it's general discussion.
Yes the 2010 Mustang is already out. You will notice though that it is actually showing up on dealer lots....meaning there isn't anywhere near the interest in it that there is in the Camaro. Personally I think the 2010 Mustang is ugly as hell. They destroyed the back of that car. Go to the Ford site and build one and you will see what I mean.

OMG 1 week buy mustang.. let's close the forum and shut the Camaro factory down!

FORD won .. game over... they got to lots first omg.

Sorry but this is pathetic in my opinion.
Do you hear me actually complaining? No. Have I said anything about the Camaro's doom? No. Am I an enthusiast? Yes. Will I buy a Mustang? No. Do I know a handful of people who would buy a Mustang over a Camaro simply because it's available? Yes. That's all I'm saying.

I think it's for Sirius Satellite radio. Not sure about that so don't quote me on it.

The GT with track pack is pretty tempting, but the v6 models are DOA.

Yeah GM is the only one of the three who made a V6 car worth half a damn. Kudos to the general.

Luckily for me, if the new Mustangs are already out, I wouldn't care... I find the Mustangs to be hideous cars. It doesn't steer me away from the Camaro.

I voted, about a 200 vote lead for Camaro at this point.

As far as the Stang is concerned, what DID they do to the rear of that car?!?! I haven't seen a backed like that since the Pinto. So they beat the Camaro to the lot, they had less work to do. If you read the article, sales on the Mustang are at an all time low and the Challenger is actually outselling it for 2009 so far.

My friend's wife has a 2006/2007 Mustang GT. Nice car with a couple minor upgrades (cold air intake and retuned) that make it a bit more powerful than it was. But she's bored with it. She keeps telling me she can't wait to take a ride in the Camaro when I get it(I mighta let her drive it since I drove hers but she can't do stick) and she actually wants a CHALLENGER now.

I think Ford is going to find themselves in trouble with the Mustang. Plenty of '09's on the lots still, 2010's showing up, and sales in a slump larger than what the recession is doing. I wonder how much they could wind up losing per car just to move them off the lots. They just aren't "new" like the Challenger and Camaro. No big re-introduction. And, apparently, no big sales figures.

It sounds like the first Camaro may have touched down...

Heres a Black V6 Pony Package and a Kona Blue GT on the lot.



The 2010 Camaro reminds me of the feeling I had when the 05 Mustang came out-that crazy omg love it drool kinda feeling, the 010 Stang is nice but is a refresh as said before.

Not like they needed the money or anything Thank You Oh Great GM for allowing me to tell you I would be willing to purchase your product before I ever saw it, touched it, or sat in it.

We are truly blessed....lol. Sheesh, lay off the kool-aid.

R6P folks have waited for long enough GM!!! Build early orders before any new dealer orders regardless of allocation. Stop treating your most loyal customers so unfairly!!!
