It's true. For the first time since 1985, the Chevrolet Camaro (http://www.autoblog.com/model/camaro) will outsell the Ford Mustang (http://www.autoblog.com/model/mustang) in 2010. Besides giving the Bowtie Boys something to crow about, it also makes us genuinely intrigued to watch how 2011 unfolds, considering that Chevy (http://www.autoblog.com/make/chevrolet/) plans to unleash its convertible (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/11/16/officially-official-2011-chevrolet-camaro-convertible-w-videos/) and Z28 Camaro (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/10/05/spy-shots-2012-chevrolet-camaro-z28-running-the-ring/4) editions.
Somewhat surprisingly, Ford (http://autoblog.com/make/ford) doesn't seem too bothered. According to Ford sales analyst George Pipas, "If that was important, we wouldn't have taken a shift off at Flat Rock," which is where the plant that assembles the Mustang is located. That's a somewhat dubious statement, since building too many vehicles in one model year only leads to problems for the next... In any case, this is a trend worth monitoring.
