IMO, the price is too high. The hype for this car, at our store anyway, isn't there like it was for the 5th gen. We have had only a couple people ask about ordering a 6th gen. Price may push one of those away.
A $4K jump in base price for a 2SS is big. Really big. It pushes it way out of Mustang GT Premium pricing and even though it will be faster, that's where our real competition lies. People will go buy a Mustang just because it's cheaper. |

Whether everyone agrees or not there are a lot of good points in here.

You need the MRC option for the 6th Gen to be as fast or faster than the current 1LE....
Just saying

Word of advice... They have that right now and for a little longer. It's called a 2015 Camaro 1SS. #ExpectationsInTheWrongPlace

According to Al O, that is not the case. MRC makes it even better...

I think the price point or starting msrp price for each model and trim is about $2,000 to $2,500 to high. The new Camaro comes with many standard items and/or options that the Mustang or any other car in their performance or price category doesn't have but I still think Chevy made a big mistake and I doubt the new Camaros will outsell the Mustang just based off the price difference. I guess time will tell. I think the new SS's look great and I like the MRC option a bunch.
I did a quick new car inventory search using autotrader and I was surprised by what I found. 2014 Ford Mustangs=146, V8=122 2015 Ford Mustangs=9,404, V8=4,558 2014 Chevy Camaros=335, V8=132 2015 Chevy Camaros=14,387, V8=3,573 Price was capped at 50K so no Shelbys or ZL1's in this search. My advice to people is not to order a new gen 6 Camaro if you can wait because I think Chevy is going to have a hard time selling all these new gen 6's. Chevy is having a hard time selling gen 5 Camaros from my viewpoint and clearly has a ton of inventory compared to stangs. I think with the prices of the gen 6's if you can wait you should be able to get a decent deal on one but you will probably have to wait 6 months or so. My problem is I only want a Nightfall Grey Metallic 1SS coupe with a 6 speed, and MRC and I doubt I will find many Gen 6's like that without ordering one but I'm going to try to holdout and listen to my own advice hopefully. |

When the 20% off deal was going on last year I saw some amazing deals online. The largest discount I came across was for 30% off a loaded blue 2ss with blue interior/white stripes for 29k somewhere east. Because dealer inventory is even higher now compared to last year (combined with the gen6 coming soon) I expect at least a 25% discount from GM on 2015 models. The dealers should be able to help with another 5% in incentives. |
