Thumbs down Camaro more popular than Mustang?

Yes, there are cars other than mustang. Cars that dare to say they may be better than a mustang.



According to www.camarovsmustang.com 70% of people prefer the Camaro compared to the 30% who prefer Mustang
Yes that is MORE THAN TWICE the number of people who like Camaro. A GM made Camaro??? pff


To me Camaro is a stylish $hit box that looks good but after all it is a $hit box that will break repeatedly before hitting 100,000 km. It looks aggressive but b/c of that, once you sit in it AS A PASSENGER you can't see outside. you feel you are in trenches of WWI. Poor visibility, poor quality of material, poor interior design make Camaro a boring ride for your date. hence possibly less spanking/****ing at the end of the day (oh I meant good old fashion stuff, I am not into anything weird, [to self why did I let that slip]).

As far as I am concerned Camaros can $uck my muffler!

==================================================
***for the sake of conversation please only compare the most basic stock V6s, since it is the best selling trim level for both

***Camaro has been out selling mustang in the last couple of month. But b/c it is just back after I think 8 yrs, you don't see too many of them on the road....

***I am not bias b/c i don't own a mustang.... I am gonna get my baby in 2011 once the new model come out. My opinions are based on unbias research.

70 vs 30? Not based on what I've seen on the road (if we're talking purely 2010 models). I know it's a regional thing but i'm confident in saying I see at least twice as many '10 mustangs driving around than new camaro's. Maybe SoCal is just Mustang territory but if not then those stats should be switched

I doubt that is an accurate poll. Just take a cruise and you will see the ratio of Mustangs to Camaros is in the Mustang's side. Both the Mustang and the Camaro have their selling points (both are pretty nice rides IMO), but I think the key to the Mustang's success is their versatility. It's both a weekend warrior and an everyday driver. Slightly smaller, lighter, nimble makes it such a great success.

Plus, you can't hate on Camaro owners. Or other car owners for that matter. It's a good think everyone gets to choose their own ride, otherwise things would be real boring on the road if everyone was driving the same car.

The major turn off for me is that it is made by GM. (Government Motors) And when was the last time the government did anything right? I do like the front end of the Camaro but the rear end like the 2010 Mustangs is horrid!

I think if you asked most folks, they may "say" they prefer a Camaro over a Mustang, only because Camaro's have been absent for a while. As far as actually buying them, some reports say Camaro is outselling Mustang......where? I see three 2010 Mustangs to every 1 Camaro!

As far as advantages or disadvantages depends on the forum you seek the question. It's like going on a Chevy site asking which do they prefer.....Fords or Chevy.

I think it would only be fair to compare the Camaro V6 to a V6 Mustang when the 2011 comes out. By then, the hp will be a lot closer to compare performance and such.

Why would I want a 3875lb pig with crappy handling to my stream lined weight loss project 3400 lb premium package 06' GT coupe with 550HP.

These cars have gotten so heavy, I'm thrilled I chose a platform that can be lightened significantly and over powered easily. God bless the open canvas of the Mustang! Erik

it has to be because they have been MIA for several years and they have a band new styling.

I saw one the other day while sitting in traffic on the way to work so I got several good looks at it.

yuck.....

The Camaro's have been outselling the mustangs this year, not because they are so much better but because of pent up demand. It's like the toy companies releasing a hot new toy a month before Christmas and it sells out. It doesn't mean that toy will be number one for the rest of its life cycle. I predict by next year the numbers will start to creep back down for the Camaro's. I saw somewhere that the 2010 Mustang has sold like 60,000 units, which really isn't that much when compared to past years.
