Good luck on your paper.

I will offer this; obviously you want to point out all the areas the Camaro is better, as that is the point you are trying to make. But if you completely ignore the areas where the Mustang is better, your grade may suffer.

-talk about how ford didn't need any gov handout to keep building the mustang

ill try thinking of more and get back to you.....

ps: have owned 3 mustangs,1 camaro,1 firebird...love them all!
LOL. So talk about the future Mustangs and compare them to current Camaros???? Man the 2011 mustang will kill the 2010 camaro.....LOLOLOL I dont think I could of found any weaker sauce at the Weak Sauce Mart.

You honestly think the 05-09 mustangs sold well because of the design? They sold well because there was no competition and design and heritage. I mean gm has only been working on the Camaro since 2006..at the latest that we know of.


How the company operates is irrelevent. But if you need to dig for things to make the mustang compete in some catagory sure throw that in there?

Or you could point out how the Camaro is better because eventhough it outperforms its peers in all the magazine articles, they still find ways to make it come in dead last. LOL

If MotorTrend/Car&Driver/Road&Track hate it....its got to be good.

i think so. the throwback design stirred up interest in the mustang. some throwback cues on the camaro only help with its appeal as well.

Hey Kotton, the pink foofy PonyGirl thing - that's a joke, right? I mean...this muscle car brand isn't coming out w/ a line of adolescent teenybopper clothing - right?

Hey, I'm proud to be a Camaro "Fan Boy"!

I bought my first new car in 1974 (a '74 Type LT/Z28, I still own it). I bought a new IROC-Z in 1985 and still own it, too. I bought a new Camaro SS in 1996 and owned it until about 9 months ago. :( And we bought a new 2002 Hot Rod Magazine Edition Camaro (one of 36 built) from Berger Chevrolet and of course, still own that one too.

I've been involved with the Western Michigan Camaro Club since it's inception in 1975, so I guess if all of that qualifies me as a true Camaro "Fan Boy", I'm OK with that.

I like other kinds of cars too, just not as much as the Camaro. But I too feel the 2010 Mustang is ugly, the restyling didn't do it any good.

We don't yet own a 2010 Camaro, but hopefully there is one in our future. I like it very much.

nope, just don't think the rear looks as bad as everyone is saying. camaro rear isn't perfect either. the best rear in my opinion is the challenger

Didn't the Challenger finish last in those magazine's tests?

Actually the design was a huge reason it sold so well. And why Dodge started making the retro-styled Challenger. I also believe Chevy reintroduced the Camaro because of the 5th Gen Mustangs sales numbers.

As for GM competition during that span, GM was selling the GTO in the US from 2004-2006.

I mean are you serious, how the company operates is irrelevent? Only a fanboi would say something like to negate that their car company went bankrupt when others didn't...

Are you a little kid or a naive adult or just don't give a flip about this country? It should matter to all of us in the USA how a huge American born company should operate, especially when our(MY) government decides to bail them out.
