Les mustangs built = less sold

 

[BetterthanU]

how many were built in the 2 back to back years, in comparison?

 

[Jpjr]

Look at the civic, freaking crazy

I'd say it has more to do with the biggest redesign in the car's history than simply gas prices though.

 

[BetterthanU]

yea but I'd wager the majority sold aren't going to ricers who think it looks sooo awesome now...more like people using them as commuter cars, etc...???

 

[BLUE OVAL NUT]

The economy and gas price's are what i believe is causing the slow down. In my area i see quite a few 05/06 but the funny thing is most of the driver are maturing women/older males. :coolman: Most of them are just reliving there youth. Ford F-150's are always gonna be in the top because of work use etc,
hell my father in law purchased a 06 Lariat fully loaded and now wants to buy a second one just to use as a work truck. :-D

4 Toyota Corolla / Matrix 159,992 147,146 5 +8.7

I wonder what sales would be if these were seprate and why are they lumped together??

 

[svtfocus2cobra]

This list is really surprising. The Cobalt is going pretty strong there with the highest percentage of change at 23. I was starting to think that Dodge trucks were catching up to Ford but they're actually doing pretty crappy. nd its not lookng good for the explorer with a drop like that, even after a redesign.
