Chevy spent thier $$ building the Porsche of pony cars. The Challenger is the most car like of the three. So even though it feels older and big and is quite practical it is also fun to drive. It is old school cool.

The Mustang has the longest run and lots of fan boys and girls generationally handed down. It also is a nice compromise between just a car and a performance car. Also fun to own and drive and like the other two looks cool.

The Camaro is the sportiest of the three and proves its mettle on any racetrack. It is more of a sports car than a car and makes interior size and visibilty sacrifices to to provide leading overall performance. This and the track focus of these cars will limit the market somewhat.

Another Camaro handicap is most Chevrolet sales reps (speaking from experience) have no idea how to sell these cars to the right people. And because they can be a hard sell many dealers only have 1 or 2 on the lot. This regionally discourages sales.

Ads don't sell cars. People do. But even so I enjoy the Dodge advertisements and the bad boy vibe they promote. I really liked the Dodge Ad that said something like "It does not make any sense to buy an SUV with nearly 500 horsepower. But I would sure like to have a beer with someone like that." That ad could almost sell me a Durango. But for now I will stick with my paid off old V6 Rav4. And drive my LT1 for fun. (if only I could.)

Stay safe out there!!!
