frank, it would be stupid to try and produce both of them.

if both exist, you can buy 25 camaros and 25 firebirds, then ford sells 50 mustangs...ford can brag about how the mustang outsells a camaro or firebird 2 to 1. however if only the camaro exists, then 50 of those sell to the 50 mustangs or whatever...and ford is defeated, which is the ultimate goal.

this is the same way ford advertises outselling chevy with trucks. yea, it may outsell chevy, but in no way do ford sales out-do GM. they can just advertise because yes, they do outsell chevy.

why build the camaro over the firebird? think about it, the firebird would have gotten a chevy engine along with all that other chevy stuff...might as well keep it a chevy instead of rebadging it.
