The Chevy muscle car is getting better.
The sales figures for America’s top three muscle car fell at the end of 2019, but the Chevy camaro suffered most, trailing behind by more than 12,000 units the Dodge Challenger. This race was won by the Ford Mustang, while Chevy and Dodge were fighting for the last spot in its rear-view mirror.
We can only wish for the best for Camaro but the results aren’t as encouraging as we would like. GM Authority discovered. According to the publication, Americans bought 46.31 percent fewer Camaros in Q2 2020 compared to Q2 2019, a drop of 46.31 per cent.
Given the adverse effects of the coronavirus epidemic on both production and delivery, this is not surprising. It’s clear that the Camaro didn’t do well compared to the Mustang and Challenger, given that every other U.S.-based automaker was affected by the same health crisis.
Notable is the fact that the Mustang’s sales declined by 27.32 percent in Q2 2020 while the Challenger saw a 35.16% decrease in sales during the same period. Both numbers are in comparison with their Q2 2019 sales figures.
The Camaro could be trailing behind the Challenger by 2020. This would make it the third consecutive year that Dodge’s muscle car has outperformed its rival in this segment.
Last year, reported that the Camaro would soon be extinct when its current generation ends in 2023. GM declined to confirm these reports, but expressed optimism about the future of the muscle car.
It is likely that the Camaro will be axed, despite its poor sales performance. Although we hope for the best, it is possible that, should this happen, we will not be surprised.
