“I’m confident. Very confident.”
I'm sure it'll be great, but it's hardly like Reuss is unbiased.

Whether the Camaro can outsell the new Mustang will not only be a question of product but also of price. The Mustang is priced very aggressively. Will GM try to match the Mustang's various price points? Or will they rationalize higher prices on the basis of all the various ways that the new Camaro is technically superior to the Mustang? Unfortunately, I don't have a hard time imagine GM getting a little greedy and repeating the same mistake that it made with the ATS (i.e., pricing it about $3,000 too high). We'll see.
