Looks like ford won one for once. Big rebates will do that for ya.. Let's see if it holds for another month.

From what I see on the pre-owned (unsed car) lots is if you subtract all the Camaro's that have been traded. There are actually more new Mustangs on the road.

For once? Are you NEW? Ford has led in pony car sales far more times than not. Let's just be clear... Mustang has outsold its nearest competitor, the F-body(now 5th gen Camaro) by a roughly 2:1 margin over the years.

Maybe you're only considering the time frame since the latest Camaro hit the road... Okay, Mustang hasn't won that too much. Still, overall this isn't even close.

That would certainly apply to this thread since the data only represents the 2012 sales results.

Besides prior overall sales results mean nothing except bragging rights and frankly if current Mustangs are selling in volumes high enough to make them profitable even being king of the sales heap is of negligable value.

Now when the nexstang shows up thats when you want it to sell like crazy and blow the F-body and Challenger away since the real value in doing so is getting those amortized costs taken care of ASAP. The faster that happens the faster Ford starts making real good money and they can afford to do things like the Bullitt, the Mach, the Boss and so on or improve components on the car like the engine or the interior or whatever.

Had the first gen S-197 not sold as well as it did, the improved interior and improved powertrains that Mustang is enjoying right now might not have shown up until the 2015 model.

Had that been the case, the nextang would have shown up in '10, and I'd be robbed of my ability to own one of the last production years of what I consider to be the most attractive, aggressive, appropriate looking Mustangs since the 60's and early 70's.

But your point is taken, and probably illustrated by what I've said. I may hate the new design more than warm beer, but I hope it sells better than any other design because it means Ford will have reason to keep investing in it. I was unlucky enough to be born in '73, which means I didn't get to drive the real muscle cars when they were born. This current crop is bringing that back, and I hope the genre is able to hang on a little better this time around. Muscle cars, at least to me, are a reason to wake up in the morning. They're part of what makes being human so rewarding.

going for broke

I'm talking since the camaro has launched but thanks for the verbal beating anyhow..
