The Camaro has been outselling the Mustang nearly every month since it's introduction. You and the haters can bash it all you want, but that just means that you are in the minority (as usual).

As to the Volt (you brought it up), it was the best selling electric plug in vehicle in the United States again last month. Unlike Ford's Focus Electric that has sold a total of 16 cars since it's introduction in December.

Chevy sold 326 Volts in December of 2010. If the current pace (32 cars per year) continues - it would take Ford 10 years to equal the Volts first month of production...
