And the they are planning on upping the line rate 35%. So all told counting the reduced Mazda 6 sales, Mustang may not be down that much. And further, they may be realizing that the Camaro still has the Convertible to come which will keep the interest high.
So, yes, Ford has brought their A-Game with the new Powertrain lineup, but the Camaro will remain formidable sales competition.
So the tragedy isn't the Mustang/Camaro battle (and we at Camaro5 know who wins that, right?) but the loss of the 900 jobs. Hopefully that isn't permanent. Michigan doesn't need that right now......or ever again.
