October 2013 Camaro Sales Figures (and vs. Mustang & Challenger)

[49ersXXIX]

Chevy should have added more power to the SS.

[TannerJPowell]

No reason to add power at this time with the direct injected motors on the horizon. The larger the margin is on the DI motors, the easier it will be to sell them. Besides, there bolt-ons, ZL1's, Z/28's for that. The SS is comfortably ahead of the competition in power for dollar as it is.

Might be , Hope not but might be . They shouldnt of went with the euro lights and the front is not as nice either . But it will be interesting to see

People are going to believe what they want but sales of the Camaro are still up over last year. So even if the Mustang is out selling the Camaro this month it's still not doom and gloom.... Lots of factors go into sales.
Camaro sales are up 2.2% YTD, while Mustang sales are down 1.1%YTD

OMFG! I just looked that up. That is one UGLY looking car! Fustang. LOL! What did they do? The 2014 Camaro looks WAY better than that, I don't care if you don't like the tail lights or chrome strip. You gotta agree. LOL!

When i was getting my car (cert used) another guy was looking at a 2013 and he tried to haggle a bit saying the model year is over etc etc. The salesman tried to BS him and say that the car sales haven't dropped at all and they have no wiggle room…. they all have a little wiggle room (this is the BS part). They were def marked a little higher than i would have expected.

yeah, i think the camaro refresh is hurting sales.

Sales for all 3 models were up year over year...... I don't know how you can see something bad in the performance of any of them last month....

Must suck, losing out on those sales to Ford. Bulk buys are great news for any manufacturer. I remember being disappointed that I couldn't rent a Camaro convertible to drive from SF to LA. I mean I have a Mustang, so what was the point. Went for cheapo in the end.

[doc7000]

rental sales for a car maker is nothing to brag about when those rental sales make up a large bulk of your sales....

I'm curious to see the break down between '13 and '14 models for October sales.

And what is your proof since sales are actually higher for the Camaro this October over October 2012?

Then you also need to compare 12 and 13 sales from last October.
