Of course, the reality of it is that Ford should have already won... because the layman/woman doesn't seem care about handling/etc.. only power and looks.

And the stang has power and looks, not to mention affordable models at the bottom of the product pile that kids in school can afford...Ford also has  the multi-year headstart .. they find themselves in the enviable position of being ahead off the starting line.

But that being said, they're going to lose in some aspects if they don't work to make changes.  People who can afford the more expensive camaro will probably buy the camaro.. it's seems to be the better car all around... independent rears > solid axles.  Not to mention it has the look and the powertrains to compete.

now the dodge challenger... when did dodge decide to go with the narrow front grill?  it was the one great thing about the charger, and the one thing that's absolutely missing from the challenger.  I dunno.. I think it's going to bomb considering the lack of buzz i seem to be hearing about it.

So really, I could only pick a loser right now.. the challenger.

The stang should maintain it's lead for a year or two, but the camaro could end up on top if they can offer affordable models.

Not sure on the lack of buzz about the challenger. Apparently the 30,000 that are being built in the first year have all have been pre-ordered/sold. I know at all the chrysler dealerships i go to. they say they're all sold out for the first run
