I was browsing the net and this ad link kept coming up
 

This kept coming up with a pic. and I clicked on it.

This is why Dodge is selling Challengers and Camaros are not selling. I'm not in the market for a Challenger but it still got my attention enough to click on to check out the cars.

I run Pi-hole at home, so I don't see ads. But I'm sure Dodge puts out a lot more advertising than Camaro.

It's been debated on this forum since the first Christmas. There's people on here who actually believe advertising the Camaro is not worth it for GM and defend their position to keep marketing minimal for it.

Thank you for proving them wrong. Again.

That and the brotherhood of muscle commercials on TV i see almost every day.

The advertising certainly doesn't hurt Challenger/Charger sales but a similar ad campaign by gm would not boost Camaro sales to Challenger levels imo. The Dodge offerings are infinitely more liveable as dd family vehicles. I get it that most of us did not buy our Camaros for these purposes, but I'll venture a guess that most Dodge owners did. There's also a significant number of folks that live and die by straight line performance. Gm could reel in those guys with an lt5 powered ZL1

Personally I don't mind driving something a little more rare around my small town:thumbup: Hey if they quit nmaking them at some point the c8 vette will become affordable for me:w00t:

Dodge sells more pony cars than ford and chevy. Challenger really has no competitor.

This has been the case for over 15 years.

Aggressive pricing and financing + not driving cost up by being all that great of a vehicle + having usable rear seats == sales these days.

I like that they're kinda rare but at the same time I don't want the Camaro to go through the same fate it did in 2002. One thing about Mustang guys that they have that we don't is that it's been in continuous production since 1964.

Also you can't get a C8 with a real manual transmission anymore. That eliminates the car for me all together. And I won't buy used or electric.

same as all other annoying spam

Much longer than that.

Number 3?

Manual transmissions suck. So you press some buttons with your fingers or shift with your hand and you dont have to play with your feet. So what?

If you miss the extra motions, just pretend with your feet. No sense in using obsolete tech out of some habit. You'll be like the sad old guys who still refuse to touch efi.

You're entitled to your opinion. I will also not argue that today's performance automatics are great stuff, they are not the slush boxes of old.

But for some of us sad old guys, there's more to it than just shifting fast, that's not really what it's all about. I'm not trying to change your mind, just adding a little perspective as to why some of us like manuals, it's just a part of the driving experience we enjoy.

But to the topic, yes Dodge does a lot more marketing. But they also are the only one left that has held true to the muscle car spirit, and they proudly proclaim that. This speaks loudly to a great number of people. I still prefer my Camaro to a Challenger, but we have a 50th Edition Sinnamon Stick Scat Pack Shaker on our showroom floor that is one cool looking car. (Yeah, I worked up some rough numbers on it, lol.

I was trying not to name names but yeah lol

I don’t recall seeing a Camaro ad on TV or elsewhere ever.
