2010 Ford Mustang GT - 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS

The last time the Chevrolet Camaro outsold the Ford Mustang for a full year was in 1985. Well, history may repeat itself this year. The 2010 Chevrolet Camaro outsold the new 2010 Ford Mustang in June 2009 9,320 to 7,362. The last time the Camaro outsold the Mustang in a monthly sales race was October 1993 – during when Chevy sold 10,985 Camaros and Ford sold only 5,680 Mustangs.

GM’s vice president of sales, service and marketing Mark LeNeve, said that nearly every 2010 Camaro sale in June was retail and that the figure was nearly double the number GM expected. LeNeve said that the new Camaro sold the best in California and that GM only has a six-day supply left of the model, reports Automotive News.

Dealers have reported selling the 2010 Camaro right of the delivery truck with some customers paying as much as $500 over the sticker price.

On a side note: We will be picking up the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS for 10 days later today. Stay tuned for live updates and coverage everyday of the week.

    Couple of counterpoints:

    1) Current 2010 Mustang sales have been lower to dealers (the sales numbers reflect dealer sales, not retail sales). This is because many of the dealers are still stacked up with 2009 and even 2008 Mustangs. They are not overbuying the new 2010 in most cases because it further hampers sales of their existing stock.

    2) The Camaro is the new guy on the block. Given that much of the rest of the GM line is NOT selling much, dealers were more than happy to stock up on Camaros. Again, sales numbers reported are dealer sales, not retail.

    3) In October of 1993, Mustang sales dipped because the new 1994 Mustang was in the process of being launched late year. Dealers did not want to stock up on the old and tired 1993 models with the 1994's right around the corner.

    4) The Camaro will enjoy a retail honeymoon no doubt. But first month sales do not make a trend.
