Sure, there will be those that move over for the performance improvement, or because they don't have a Camaro yet.

+1

I'm really not surprised at all. Way too much money, boring to look at and way too small interior. Many other good options out there for the money they want for a loaded SS. I also predict the 2017 ZL1 will be in the same boat.

Freddy G · 07-14-2016, 12:44 PM

Base on the SS price, I guess the ZL1 will be in 80k range. Whats gona happen with the Z28 then? 100k?!

Still early

Wanted a 2017, was looking at the 2016, bought a 2013 and couldn't be happier. Had the 6th gen looked like the 1970.5-1973 it'd be selling far better.

I wish the 6th Gen would have broke away from the looks of the 5th Gen. Let the 5th Gen stand on it's own. You could have had a whole different group of buyers and more interest of some 5th gen owners wanting to trade for the next Gen. Look what happened when the Mustang had a big change in 2015, S197 to S550!

Mr. Stacy · 07-14-2016, 01:08 PM

With good credit and 5k down it's $620 per month for a Mustang GT and $748 for a similarly equipped 2SS Camaro on a 5 year contract. The 6K+ difference in street price WILL make a difference for many muscle car shoppers.

People will even fool themselves into believing the Mustang is better (or as good) when faced with those payment options.

I know GM sold a LOT to rental fleets as I looked at a lot of Camaros before purchasing mine, and the lions share were from previous rental fleets.

What I see is the 6th Gen is in a different class than a 5th Gen. GM upped the handling, power, comfort and price. The 6th Gen SS is more like a luxury sport sedan than a traditional muscle car.

The Mustang is less refined, less powerful. less comfortable and at a fairly substantial difference in price.

I think they are apples and oranges now.

You found your secret sauce, then proceeded to "make it better". You assumed you did, so you decided that it also justified a higher price. You screwed the pooch.
Just summing up how many of us 5th Genners feel about GM's new Camaro. I bought not 1, but 2 5th Gens, my dad bought one as well. Neither of us plans on ever owning a 6th Gen. Just 2 die-hard Camaro guys opinions. Your opinion may vary.

Spot on!!!!

I had a 50 dollar offer from GM to test drive the 6th Gen and didn't do it.

Gen 6 comes out and some can't wait for a refresh!

GodWentPunk · 07-14-2016, 01:27 PM

I sat in a Gen6 and it was too tight for me.. The extra width on the Gen5 is more suited for my big ass...

Maybe the reintroduction of the Camaro was a one hit wonder. They hit the nail on the head with the 5th Gen in a lot of ways. The 6th gen, IMO, has yet to justify its price and why GM says its "better" than a 5th Gen. I still cant the the difference between the two until I'm physically right up on it. I wonder how long if this continues, which it seems it shall, before either a refresh or another bow out.

more mustangs are sold not only cause their cheaper but thats fords only sports car. i think if chevy only offered one sports car the sales volume would be that high too

What?-
No, that would not be accurate.
