The GM Authority Take

A 17 percent growth in U.S. Camaro sales in April is welcome news given the Camaro’s depressed sales performance since its launch in 2016, a strategic turn of events caused by higher pricing of the sixth-gen model.

By comparison, Dodge Challenger sales grew 4.5 percent during the month to 6,591 units and Ford Mustang sales fell 36.6 percent to 8,063 units. And while Dodge and Ford have been heavily incentivizing the Challenger and Mustang, respectively, Chevy has refrained from piling incentives onto the sixth-gen Camaro, with the exception of a few bonus cash offers along with specific incentives for Mustang owners.

As such, it looks like the Camaro will have the last laugh after all — while being a better (and more expensive) car over the Challenger and Mustang.
