S.O.P. for many. As the model "matures" (read: ages), a little
sumthin-sumthin needs to be added. New powertrain upgrades, new option packages/models, new colors/trims. To keep the sales wheels greased, a little added "spice" is preferred over REBATES...

I do however believe that this car is going to be a dud where it counts. Sales. The 05 was a huge hit.

The '05 had how many competitors?
The tale of the SALES tape will be evident by MY '17. The first year of the new Mustang should be robust. As will the first year of the Camaro. By '17, the
real head-to-head will happen, and who has read their tea leaves BEST will become evident...
However, if U.S. MY '15 sales of Mustang don't beat the now-fully-matured Camaro, oh-oh...
