Practicality is the number one problem IMO. Sure the Mustang isn't much more practical but it's more recognized. When I started thinking about a new car, the Mustang was the first to pop into my head. It's got the brand recognition. People shopping for a Mustang will easily overlook practicality. The Camaro does not have that luxury, it just doesn't. It needs that practical aspect to widen its target market just like the Challenger.

The general public doesn't care about performance as much we do. Practicality, looks, gas mileage and price matter the most, and not necessarily in that order.

The Challenger and the Camaro have much more in common than the Mustang. It's just that the Challenger is a lot more practical.
Maybe but above doesn't make any sense when you compare the 5th Gen sales against the 6th Gen. Performance got much better, interior much better, pricing slight increase, yet it doesn't sell?

Remember sales dropped off almost immediately after the 6th Gen release despite all of the improvements over the 5th Gen.
