Also, do you consider the new Mustang to be retro? It's selling better now than the 5th gen Mustang did.

So I think the GTO never met it's sales expectations.
Why? Because it wasn't retro styled. There was no connection between the new car one the old ones.
As far as the new Mustang is concerned, you can't compare sales of the last model year of the outgoing model to sales of the first model year of the new model.
You'd have to compare the 1st year sales of the outgoing model to the 1st year sales of the new model.
