Just to add fuel to this fire...
Corvette outsold Camaro in Q4 2020.

Pay walled article, but evidently GM will be building Honda EVs at Ramos Arizpe and Spring Hill Assembly.

The problem is the majority of camaros sold don't fall into those categories so the only other explanation is the other two are better at being cars first. As painful as it is for enthusiasts to admit unless its a halo vehicle(Corvette) you need volume to justify it's existence. And as painful as it is for enthusiasts to admit, sometimes that means catering to the average person more than the enthusiast. I am fully confident GM could have still made the best performing car in the class and a better coupe at the same time. ouch, that shouldn't happen |

Brand new ME Corvette design is the reason. Not unusual for a new Gen Corvette to outpace the Camaro, especially if you select a single Quarter of sales, and especially one of the lowest volume sports car sales quarters (Q4)

Both makes had their best year of the last 10 years in 2014, Camaro outsold corvette by 52K cars.... Corvette should never outsell Camaro

On the other hand, the 2020 ME Corvette demand is through the roof, private resales consistently over MSRP, etc...it's not just a new gen of Corvette, it's an entirely new segment for Corvette/GM and it's proving to be very popular.

Yes Q4 is typically bad for sports cars and Camaro is getting long in the tooth and the C8 is all new and a huge success I'm just kind of glancing at the last 10 years sales but there doesn't seem to be a quarter where Corvette ever outsold Camaro except for maybe 09 when Camaro was just coming back. Camaro has taken a massive slide in sales, it only outsold Corvette by 8K units this year. Last year was over 30K |
