look at how much volume they are moving with the stangs/ maros/ even dodges..... with that many sold of course they will develop a new model year and constantly upgrade
in comparison the 370z sold TOTAL units in 2009 equal to mustangs sold in 1 MONTH (and 09 was the inception year with the most units sold...)
love it or hate it the pony cars have the affordable car market cornered, this is why the big JDMs are not making anything, its hard to compete with the camaro/stang performance/utility.
Still not an excuse for them not to try, release a proper 2+2 coupe pushing 400+ hp with JDM reliability and looks and take away the market shares from the big three. |
First I'm talking right now in 2017, not a couple years ago.... You're also looking at mustang and camaro sales in comparison to Z sales. I'm looking at Camaro and mustang sales in comparison to actual camaro mustang previous sales. They have cars sitting on lots with deep discounts cuz they are not selling... they're giving away free carbon ceramic brakes on vettes cuz they're not selling as expected.. The camaro 5 sold like hotcakes compared to the 6 as did the mustang. Selling about 4,000 units a month when they're expecting to sell 9,000 is not selling well.
If you want to compare it to selling Z's it seems great cuz Z is selling 500 units a month. But expected sales of the. Z was meant to be. 1,250 cars a month. So in contrast, Camaro is doing poorly as well. They're expecting 9,000 unit money. Not 4,000 unit money.
So I'm apparently not smoking anything. In fact, I'm rather very clear in my thinking.
