2011 Camaro News and Camaro Sales Numbers
We'll start with the bad news, guys. For the first time since May of last year, the Mustang has posted higher one-month sales numbers than the Camaro. We all expected this, with the release of the new model year Mustang, but it's still sad to see it happen. Mustang sales in May almost doubled their April numbers, while the Camaro took a very slight (3%) dip in that same time. Of course, this loss could actually be viewed as a solid win, as the Mustang released a newer, more updated and powerful model, yet could only muster a 1,000-unit victory, and this at a time when Camaro numbers are expectedly down since the new model year Camaros will also be hitting showrooms soon. Considering all of that, I expect these numbers to return to normal in a month or two, and for this May (and maybe June) to just be small speed-bumps on the beautiful highway of dominance the Camaro has traveled for some time now, and will continue to for some time to come.
The good news is that we now know the pricing on the next model year Camaro, and it holds up my bold ascertations from the last paragraph! The 2011 Camaro, which will be offered in Synergy Green, have a HP rating increase to 312HP, and come standard with the Heads-Up Display (HUD) on the 2LT and 2SS, will only see a rise in the 2LT and 2SS price by $350, and remain the same on all other base models. This is great, as most vehicles (especially those with the popularity of the Camaro) see price hikes in their second and third years, and this should also help guarantee further Camaro sales domination in the future.
