yup. when the mustang was out of production for a while. the mustang II was also a compact car and not a pony car.


stopping production of the Camaro was not about lack of sales. actually the Camaro\firebird combo was the second best selling cars in it's class. the real reason gm temporarily stopped production of the Camaro was because they badly needed to close the expensive to operate plant in quebec, which had a contract to build the Camaro until around 2017 or so. so as long as they were building a Camaro, they legally had to build it in quebec. the only other option was to cease building the Camaro until they could shut down and dispose of the quebec plant.
