I totally get why on the inside they would focus on ATP. They would have all the info on costs, margins all that stuff. On the outside looking in, I don't see it as that valuable of information because of the missing variables.

At least with sales numbers I feel I can make some better guesses about how its doing especially when combined with data like days in inventory.

I am fully aware it is possible to earn more while selling less and like you said the key is somewhere in the middle.
We agree actually. The bad first impression and repetitive bad press combine to eliminate the Camaro as a choice for some.

The reality of driving one is that visibility isn't an actual problem while driving the car. It never gets that far with some and they choose another cars, like the Mustang, that are only marginally different.
