For comparison, MY16 Camaro sales breakdown:
Non-V8 : 31,936
V8: 21,604
Now for MY17
Non-V8: 49,629
V8: 33,717

A much closer split there than Mustang. Obviously more people buy Camaro V8 models than Mustang V8 models compared to the 4 or 6 cylinder options, but we aren't talking a major difference to begin with. You can draw your own conclusions. |
Honestly, with the first year likely having strong V6 lease sales...I would expect the take rate on the MY16 and MY17 to be higher. As high as the camaro split? Not a chance.
This is one reason why the mustang perennially sells better...it's an American Icon. It does appeal to a broader audience.
