Both the Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang are all-new for the 2010 model year, and it was only a matter of time to see which one claimed the top muscle car spot. With both models offering new styling, new features, and new attitude, it was the Chevrolet Camaro that successfully outsold the Mustang in the month of June – the first time since 1993.
In June, Chevrolet managed to sell 9,320 Camaros, while Ford took a back seat with 7,362. The end tally may be the fact that the Mustang has been on sale for several months already suggests Car Service Minneapolis, and simply couldn’t compete with the steep demand for the new Camaro’s release.
A few factors have worked in the Chevrolet Camaro’s favor in addition to its recent release. First, Chevrolet Service Peoria suggests that the coupe saw more than 14,000 orders before the vehicle even went on sale. Secondly, according to Salt Lake City used car dealers, the movie Transformers 2 could certainly have helped the new Camaro get noticed by potential buyers.
With everything working in favor of the new Chevy Camaro, it remains to be seen if it can hold the Mustang off for the long haul. It wasn’t since 1985 that the Camaro was able hold the Mustang at bay for a full year, so perhaps Chevrolet has a chance to truly turn things around with this long-anticipated new vehicle. But as the demand for the Camaro subsides following its launch, it will be exciting to see just how this renewed Muscle Car War will turn out.
