To be fair while the exterior refresh was fairly minor, the interior is where the majority of the refresh happened..

Also, the Camaro and Challenger are roughly of the same vintage. Both showed their concepts at the 2006 NAIAS in Detroit, the Challenger just made it to market sooner by about a year.

People seem to forget that both the Camaro and the Challenger, at their core, have exterior designs that were locked down in 2005.

Can't always be on top but once the public has completed the impulse buying, it will tapper off.

Not struggling with 6k plus sales though on a 5 year old car !

Well did you expect more ? I mean less be realistic the Camaro is the same Camaro from last year ! So what would bring more attention from the other two muscle cars? All new suspension, interior, exterior HP, and models! The 15 Camaro has non of this ! GM basically planned this because of the 6th Gen coming! So why doesn't this look good again for the Camaro? It's crazy that the challenger haven't sold more than the Camaro since everyone loves the challenger interior over the Camaro's and more HP! Tell me why would you pick the 15 Camaro over the other 2?

To me the Challenger is hideous looking and won't buy any Dodge/Chrysler product. I do like the 2015 and 2013-14 mustang looks but WILL NOT buy anything with Ford brand on it. For that reason and the GM cc top off of 3k I was able to buy a 2015 1LT RS 10 days ago. I am very pleased with it and love Chevys MyLink over Ford problematic Touch.

I did a search for new 2014 Mustangs in the Chicago area...dealers are asking outrageous prices for the outgoing model.

Yea, I don't like the front or back of the new challenger's that much and don't care for the interior either ! But I do like the 09 to 14 challenger's and would love to have that next to my Camaro! 15 mustangs front is ugly and reminds me of a cat fish mouth but I do love the look of the 16 GT350 ! The 13-14's look way better to me because the 15's are bland looking in person!

I think it's cool that we are pretty close to half a million fifth gens sold.

$8000 off of the price they raised.

I was happy to contribute to the February sales figure. I got a decent deal at 15% off list and that's the best I could do. Many dealers in the Chicago area will only give you a small price break, even in winter, and I'm sure that is hurting their sales.

Camaro was the only car I really considered. Don't like Mustangs and have never been a MOPAR guy. The Lexus RC Coupe is nice but way overpriced IMO. For what you get with Camaro, I think it's good buy.

snarky · 03-04-2015, 06:22 AM

my local "no haggle" "no dealer fees" ford dealer has 103 Mustangs. WOWZA! that's a sh*t load of secretary cars....

Yeah it's a refresh.. But added new LED tails, Halos in the front, and hood to the exterior along with a huge interior overhaul.. The point is the Camaro is going up against everything newer than its self..

1LE 2NV · 03-04-2015, 08:11 AM

Ive seen many new mustangs on my trip to orlando florida and to be honest i didnt get excited looking at it. On the other hand camaro still appealed to me every time i saw one.

lbls1 · 03-04-2015, 08:47 AM

Still stinkin'; You (Chevy) guys had better start some sales drives and promotions.

Top listings on that link are all Roush models. Once you get past the Roush cars you see they have anywhere from 2-10K off and some with none off
