CHEVROLET CAMARO OUTSELLS FORD MUSTANG - FOR NOW

ChevroletCamaro 13
By Christ Woodyard, USA Today - When it comes to sales rivalries, few compare to Ford Mustang vs Chevrolet Camaro.  And for the moment, even though a new Mustang is on the way, Camaro is winning.

Camaro maintains a slim but steady edge.  For the first five months of the year, Chevrolet sold 38,951 Camaros, according to Autodata.  Ford sold 36,600 Mustangs.  That's a difference of only 2,351 cars.

Camaro has won the monthly sales tally lately by almost the same margin.  In May, some 10,340 Camaros were sold, compared to 9,761 Mustangs.  That's a difference of only 579 cars.

The two sporty cars have been bitter rivals for decades.  In recent years, Camaro has led some years, Mustang the others.  But a new 2015 Mustang is in the wings, which should give Ford a huge edge.  It's yet to be seen how much of a sales impact it will have.

The third car in the fight is the Dodge Challenger.  It is, as usual, way behind.  Dodge sold 5,748 Challengers, 21,904 for the first five months.
