I got intrigued by the Camaro when a friend that lives on the West Coast said he was buying one. I was bored and went for a test drive. I was really impressed and bought a '18 ZL1 two weeks later.
Price for all cars, not just pony cars, keeps going up. Not many folks can afford or justify a $40-70k car that isn't that practical.

I have to agree with your take. There is almost zero marketing. As someone who wasn't even into Camaros, I didn't know Gen6 was a completely different car from Gen5. At a quick glance they look almost identical. What drew me to "pony" cars was the Mustang. I really liked the MY '13-14 but was waiting on Gen6 to be released with the IRS. Once it was, and I had read about how the '15 GT lost to a '15 Gen5 Camaro on the track, that drew my attention. I was also intrigued in the GT350 as I'm a twisties over straight line type, and when the 1LE came out and all the publications started gushing about the performance value, I was sold. Vast majority don't know what the car can do, even some of the track rats.
