The gap over 6 years is 28k units. If you take out 2011, you are talking about 11k difference over 5 years. Its not insignificant, but I stand by my statement that I wouldn't call that slaughtering the Mustang in sales.
The sales are within 5% of each other each year. The numbers only become significant when you factor in how much revenue is generated for each sale, but even that is fairly insignificant to the company's bottom line.
This is from someone that thinks the side profile of the new Mustang resembles a bike helmet (not a good thing in my eyes). A lot of the larger Audi cars appear that way to me as well (my boss drives an RS7).

That is correct, but you can't take 2011 out. The gap has been closer in the last couple of years. But also think this is with Mustang having 3 body styles and a refresh. Not to mention Ford can't say in any advertisement that they are number 1. But I think when the Gen 6 is released the sales will go through the roof!
