And the Camaro performance trounces the Mustang for sure. GM Built one hell of a performance car. Can't wait to see how Ford responds [QUOTE=Imp;8714308]Golf clubs and bag! This ^ |

For a majority of those on these forums, performance matters, but for the every day Joe it's not the case. It's looks, technology, and price point. We'll see soon enough if the updates for the camaro in those categories are enough to retake the sales lead. These reviews are leaning the otherway though... |

And yes, the Transformer movies did contribute. The late S197's were nice for being a very tired rehash of a 10 year old platform and design language. The ride was harsher than the 5th Gen, the interior was more boring to look at and so on. Yet despite all that...it still was selling 7,000 or more Mustangs a month after 10 years and one drivetrain transition (so I guess you could call it a S197.5) The 5th Gen was at the end the sales were utterly collapsing after only 6 years. |

Those reasons are definitely part of it. I say most of it was pent up demand for the Camaro . Yes it will be different. Maybe I just expected to much out of the Camaro lol. I just expected being on the Alpha platform, with a much better interior than the 5th to get it some points over the Mustang especially in the few comments in the reviews about the Mustang being better to go driving in. Like I said maybe I just expected more out of it on that side. |

Well it is pretty common for the magazine reviews to skew results to make the match up close. So while they have a formula for calculating the points based on performance/fuel economy, etc, it is pretty common to see them rate the subjective categories to make up ground for the car that doesn't measure up in other areas. Although the Mustang may well have an advantage in the listed areas, they claim the Mustang is 2 points better than the Camaro for fit and finish and 1 point better for exterior styling and rear seat comfort. I honestly believe that they tally the points and then adjust where they think they can do so reasonably to make it seem like its pretty close.
