Sure. Carrying two sets of clubs would be cool. It’s still a minority point of view and very unlikely the cause for the steady decline.

Challenger sold 60,997 units in 2019. Camaro sold 67,940 in 2017 and “we” were already predicting the Camaro’s demise in 2016 at 72,705 units. The Challenger is now “it” ...somehow.?.?.?

The Camaro is going into its sixth model year and the postponed gen7 was originally due this fall (MY21). The competition is advertising by introducing new models and increased power at every price level. The GM “professionals” with their “data” served the Camaro community the 2019 facelift debacle that earned them a shitload of negative press.

Wonder why sales fell in 2018?

How about GM’s pigheaded A8 shudder leaving buyers to feel they will be abandoned. I sold mine at a nice lose in 2018 btw ...and I wouldn’t touch any GM car with it ...including the CTS-V, Z06 or ZR1.

How about the 2019 SS facelift that was just made worse in 2020? When was that revealed? April 2018!

How about GM’s brilliant decision to close US plants and shift production to Mexico and “China”. Winning hearts and minds.

How about the introduction of the C8 while providing no halo Camaro to “market” against the 760 HP GT500 CFTP or 797 HP Redeye Widebody?

Rant over and not really aimed at you.
