I thought GM hit a homerun with the 6th Gen. Talk about beating the Mustang and Challenger in almost all performance categories. They put out a darn good product. The only thing the 5th Gen had on it was a better ride. The new frame is better tuned for handling. One problem I saw was no advertising (don't see many Vette commercials either.) Another is not enough body change. I suppose they thought they had a winner in the 5th Gen and were not going to mess with the body much. This seems to have backfired on them. I personally like the looks of the 6th Gen.
I really don't think GM cares if they outsell the Mustang. They could have made a cheap version of the SS but decided to make the car with a lot of features stock. I love that you don't get nickel and dimed to death just to have a car that performs as it should. But America doesn't share my opinion. Looks like it must fall through the entire line up with the Turbo 4 and V6.
I think GM makes it's real living selling trucks and SUV's of all sizes. Those they advertise like mad. I love my Silverado (glad I don't have the 8 speed auto). So really, until they change their sales tactics we will lack in sales.
