Filed under: Car Buying, Convertible, Coupe, Performance, Chevrolet, Ford We'll have our monthly By the Numbers post ready in a jiffy, but one thing that stood out after glancing at the monthly automotive sales figures is that the Chevy Camaro has outsold the Ford Mustang for the third month in a row. While it's still a bit too early to call this an official trend, it's clear that there was a significant backlog of demand for GM's latest muscle car. That much was a given with The General reporting over 10,000 advance orders for the car before it even hit dealer lots. We're not exactly shocked that the Camaro - with 8,680 total sales vs 6,289 for the Stang - is selling at a healthy clip, but it is a bit surprising to see the Mustang drop over 23 percent over the previous year. After all, Ford's pony car was heavily refreshed for the 2010 model year and has received excellent reviews from the motoring press, ourselves included. Perhaps some Mustang intenders are holding out for the expected 400+ horsepower 5.0-liter, 32-valve DOHC Coyote engine or turbocharged EcoBoost V6? Time will tell...

Or maybe the 2010 Mustang is just ugly as hell? Every time I see one on the road, I wonder what the heck Ford was thinking.
I thought the same thing about the mustang, but the rear end is growing on me. It's the only design flaw. It needs more power though.
popular doesnt always mean better, a lot more novas were bought than our awesome mavs....... check my sig line about sheep...hehe
Did they really? I thought the Maverick broke all sorts of sales records. Maybe that was just within FoMoCo?
