I used to get paid a lot of money by GM to tell them what Ford, FCA, Toyota, and everybody else was doing. Now I get paid a lot of money by a company that does consulting work for all of them. So yes, they do pay attention to each other’s every move.
Paying attention and responding to that are different things. Mustang and Challenger build what they want. Camaro builds what GM allows. If the choice came to a 700+ horsepower Camaro or no more Camaro, the plant would close tomorrow.
