Best selling coupe in the country and currently the only entry in the pony car market does not pose a threat to Camaro sales??? The only car GM is even worried about competeing with would be that very mustang

What I meant to say was, the Mustang isn't a worthy competitor to the Camaro because the Camaro is/would be better than the pony car.

Whoops, there goes another big IMHO.

Okay, I'll stop stirring the pot now.

Current Mustang doesn't pose any competition?

Yeah, right!

BTW: There's no "IF" involved here. Big or otherwise.

Re: Article from Forbes.com on Camaro & Challenger

this guy has one major problem with his logic. regarding "stylish mass-market sedans" to compete with the Camry and Accord - there's already the Grand Prix and Impala, both of which, i think, are attractive cars with power to boot. The last thing GM needs is a bland cookie-cutter Camry clone. If I wanted to go to sleep, I'd lay down in my bed. I want to be excited when I drive my car.
