Again we don't know the costs, fixed or variable, for either car. And we don't know the break down by model. I can assure you GM carries a higher cost for every Camaro to support pensions and healthcare for retirees than Ford does for the Mustang. By a LOT.

GM has always been this way. GTO was similar strategy. And the south florida stealers were adding 10000$ markups only to blow them out for 8000 below msrp at the end of the year when their strategy backfired and pissed off enthusiasts

if GM has a choice to A. Sell Camaro at $10,000 with 10,000,000 in sales or B. for $20,000 with 5,000,000 in sales Which should they choose? it is a simplistic question, but I want GM to work less hard for the same profit, and so do they.

No one has profit figures per model, including you. I have ATP's and corporate profits. If you think FoMoCo is making more profit on a Mustang sale than Porsche is on a 911 sale, you have much to learn about the industry.

The Camaro just needs a Hollywood Blockbuster to attach itself with to help boost information about the current car which could lead to more sales. Dodge has taken up much of the current movies with the Challenger and Charger. Bumblebee is no longer getting it done. We sure could use some help showcasing how badass of a driver the Camaro is on the street/track. Did Chevy submit the Camaro in for the movie Baby Driver? Wait it doesn't seat 4 adults my bad.
According to the movie footage that I've seen the Challenger can do it all and then some and I know that isn't the case but what do these new car buyers and trendies think? Did they even put a new Camaro in any of the latest Fast and Furious movies? Product placement helps, c'mon Chevy! |

The GTO isn't comparable. It was always intended to be a low volume car. Less than 40,000 were made over the span of three years.

If only the Camaro had a huge movie or four to help get it on screen. |
