📰 Auto News Ford Mustang takes the 2009 Pony Car sales crown from the Chevrolet Camaro

[Mook]

It's official: The Ford Mustang outsold the Chevrolet Camaro in 2009, despite a string of month-on-month sales leads over the Blue Oval's pony car. But it was a close race.

According to sales data released by both Ford and General Motors, the Mustang sold 66,623 units in 2009, with GM coming in close behind with 61,618 Camaros sold for the year.

Early on, there was speculation that the Camaro could overtake the Mustang if its sales streak continued, but despite pent up demand for the bowtie brand's retromobile, Ford sold 6,327 Mustangs last month -- over 60 percent more than it did in November. Not a huge surprise, but a good showing nonetheless, and with all the updates to the 2011 Mustang, we suspect that next year's race won't be nearly as entertaining.

Chevy's dead. Can I get my tax money back for buying such a shitty company?

Yay ford.

Still not bad considering the Camaro went on sale in March. Only 5,000 units off the Mustang's mark.

 

[EmersonHart13]

No 2011 Mustang with the 5.0, no care...

 

[Turk]

The Mustang might outsell the Camaro 2 to 1 next year.

Yeah, I didn't think the camaro had a full year. Didn't feel like looking it up though.

But it was introduced after how many years of absence? There was huge hype around it too when it's new model came out after so long.

The 2009 mustang was the last year of a 4-year-old production model...


I agree with Turk. I bet the mustang will outsell the camaro 2:1 next year.

66,000 2010 mustang owners are kicking themselves for not waiting 1 more year.

It was only close because people know next year the mustang will be a lot faster and are waiting. so yea 2:1 easily.

The 2010 Mustangs started selling around August.

Plus there are no vert Maros yet, no supercharged, ungodly priced camaro yet. Next year should be interesting IMO.

Mustang has a couple of extra months of a new modeil in 2009... The iconic nameplate of the camaro coming back after, what, 7 years of absence. And how many people were drooling and ogoling over the thought of the camaro returning...

I still have my prediction.

And it outsold mustang every month cept December after the "big bad twenty ten camaro killer" was released.

time will tell

Exactly. Both cars should be on equal ground fairly soon. Both will have the chick V6, chick verts, V8s, and blown V8s.

I am with you. History has proven that the Mustang is definitely the volume winner over the years. The Camaro is selling decent because it's the new kid on the block.

Hey, I like the 2010 Mustang GT more than the 2010 Camaro SS. I'm just trying to be objective here.

 

[Yaj Yak]

2 to 1 is a lil extreme...

 

[Riski]

I like Mustangs but perfer the Camaro of the 2 new body styles

The only thing I don't llike about the Camaro is the driving position. It's like you are driving in a fishbowl to me.

 

[Riski]

[Riski]

havent been a new camaro though.....but the looks have me sold over the mustang from v8 to v8......but the '10 GT500 his badass looking......hands down
