It would have been nice if there had been a little side bar saying that the Camaro wasn't available from Jan. 1st to Dec. 31st like the 'stang was.

No it would not have been "nice" it would have been factual and relevant to the story, it not being stated is deception.

It would be like telling everyone that a guy in Detroit on a plane tried to light his underwear, Ok that is a strange guy:
and not saying that his underwear was full of explosives. That extra info is most of the story, it would be "nice" to report his underwear was made by fruit of the loom.

C'mon.......... any statistic can be twisted. Like Ford claiming to have the best selling pick-up with the F150. This is a true statement. HOWEVER..... Ford only makes one brand of pick up...Ford. GM makes two, GMC and Chevy. The same truck just different badge on the grill and a few small options difference. Now..... combine GMC AND Chevy pick-up sales and who sells more trucks Ford or GM?

Because the statement that he quoted is true?

It's been up for a while, plenty of people have pointed out the error in the comments, and the article is not ammended. BOO. Bad Journalism.

Autoblog made their prediction with the last line of the article.

Not a huge surprise, but a good showing nonetheless, and with all of the updates to the 2011 Mustang, we suspect that next year's race won't be nearly as entertaining.

They might as well say Mustang out-sold the Camaro in 2008 also
