No more ridiculous than anyone else's opinions....Rumors are in the title of this forum....and until the spy-shots surfaced, not sure what else there was to go on...

It will be new to have an "evolution" from one generation to the next for Camaro. used to be drastically different cars, which also backfired the 4th gen killed the brand.

I think the issue is the changing auto industry. We are getting more "generations" and less radical departures between generations. I'll use an example I have familiar with the VW Golf. The Mk4 lasted 7 years, the Mk5 5 years, and Mk6 3 years. The current Mk7 does not look much different than Mk6. Sure that's just one off the wall example, but seems to be the new trend in vehicles, possibly due to CAFE pushing manufactures to make changes under the car more than the design of the car.

I believe the Camaro has out sold the mustang since the 5th Gen release by around 35,000 units. I remember in 2011 it was by 17000. Ford has been closing the gap as of late.

In December the Mustang outsold the Camaro by over 3,000 cars. For the year they were just about even.

3k+ vehicles is hardly almost even. The true test will be when the next gen camaro comes out to see how sales compare, new gen to new gen.

Thanks for doing this. I was going to do this myself when I got home from work.
The gap over 6 years is 28k units. If you take out 2011, you are talking about 11k difference over 5 years. Its not insignificant, but I stand by my statement that I wouldn't call that slaughtering the Mustang in sales. The sales are within 5% of each other each year. The numbers only become significant when you factor in how much revenue is generated for each sale, but even that is fairly insignificant to the company's bottom line. This is from someone that thinks the side profile of the new Mustang resembles a bike helmet (not a good thing in my eyes). A lot of the larger Audi cars appear that way to me as well (my boss drives an RS7). |

Quick question, maybe I missed it. Will they be showing the 2016 Camaro at the Chicago Auto show in Feb? Did they show it in Detriot?
