[QUOTE="16kOrBust, post: 9618363, member: 132701"] I don't see GM stepping it up so soon (2012), especially considering how long it took them to release the fifth gen Camaro in the first place. :lol1: Honestly, I just think they need to design a car that can compete with the Mustangs sales (ie make a car that looks-wise everyone wants to buy, including the majority of females). I've always said the reason Fbody sales suck so bad compared to Mustangs is because Ford designed a cheap car (low to mid 20s) that girls of all ages want to buy (V6 auto convertible), and we all know it's the looks that make these sales. How many women have you seen driving a V6 auto convertible Firebird or Camaro? I personally don't see any, but I see thousands driving V6 vert Mustangs, and it's 100% because what girl looks at a convertible (or even coupe) V6 Firebird or Camaro and goes, "THAT'S the car I want to be cruisin around in..." They did a little better looks-wise with the new Camaro but overall I still don't see it making too many girls want to shell out for a V6 auto, especially women, and especially when the Mustangs look the way they do. If performance was the big factor for sales and cause for GM to step up their game again so soon, then the new Camaro sales should have decimated GT sales the past year or so, especially considering so many people were holding out for the 2011 GT, and the last sales numbers I saw didn't show much decimation. Really it was just mediocre wins in certain months probably more related to the million year hype of the new Camaro and the Mustang buyers waiting on the 2011. If GM could design a car to win over the female purchasing population, their sales would skyrocket and it wouldn't just be gearheads and a few old guys buying Camaros because they want a high performance vehicle.
