Mustang's highest sales in one month was May 2012 for the last gen, until March 2015. They sold 2000+ more Mustangs this past month than their previous record. So yes you can compare, the new one is already doing better than the previous gen. Are there economic factors at work here? undoubtedly. The new Mustang's launch coincides with lower gas prices. I'm beginning to wonder if that might be playing a bigger factor than is apparent now. Time will tell. One thing is for sure, the 5th gen sales are tanking, expected? Probably.

I wasn't the biggest fan of the GTO, but I thought that the G8 was a pretty nice car. The chassis and motor I believe were similar.
