Yeah but historically the Corvette is in a class unto itself with respect to the Ford product line. Ford doesn't really have anything to go head to head with the Vette.

The Mustang is a pony car and thus is directly compared to the Camaro and Challenger, as it should be. If GM wants to play, they better get it figured out quick or the car will die again. Seems like the newness and excitement of the Camaro is already starting to fade. Its too heavy and too late to the game.

RIP Camaro. What's the over/under on the life of the 5th gen? 3 years? 5 years? I'm still not sure I like the styling. I know I don't like the enormous wheels it rolls on, they look ridiculous. And you revive the iconic Camaro, but don't offer a Z28 package? Way to honor the lineage GM. What were they thinking? GM FTL. They have arguably the greatest mass produced NA V8 engine the world has ever known and still can't get their collective heads out of their backsides long enough to wrap it in something stylish at a reasonable price without turning into a tuna boat. They are called "pony" cars, not "clydesdale" cars.....

I'd look at a lightly used CTS-V or the new 2 door CTS-V, hell even a regular old CTS long before a 5th gen.

stepping down off the soap box.......sorry but i had to vent.
