One thing I'll applaud Ford for is their ability to market the Mustang. they do that much better than GM. Back when I got my S550, one of the tings that stood out (and also played a pivotal part of my decision) was the friendliness of the dealerships. I went to several Chevy dealerships to look at Camaros and not one of them offered me a test drive or even tried to push the Camaro on me. the Ford dealerships tho, no matter what you go in there for it seems like they'll try to push you towards a Mustang. They offer test drives, they'll even let you take the car for a few days. Incidentally, the only time a Chevy dealership gave me that offer was back in 05 when they were trying to sell me a Mach 1, lol!! Ford dealerships are willing to play ball when it comes to making a deal. And they'll get you in a Mustang no matter what and whether it's an EB or GT. Chevy dealerships have an arrogant attitude most of the time and they'll treat the Camaro SS like gold. And the Corvette...shit, I don't think some of them will even let you look at one without putting a deposit on it, lol!! GM needs to get their dealerships to start moving these cars. They can't just continue to sit around with arrogant uppity attitudes and have Camaros sitting on lots indefinitely and wonder why sales are low. If they start cutting more deals and moving vehicles then things will change.
To be clear, not all Ford dealerships are welcoming and not all Chevy dealerships are uppity. But it seems that more often than not the Ford dealerships will work their asses off to get you in a Mustang while the Chevy dealerships have more of a cavalier attitude about sales.
