Competitive Sales Comparison
The 7 percent increase in U.S. Ford Mustang sales volume during the first quarter of 2020 enable the Mustang to continue being the best-seller in its segment, outselling the Dodge Challenger and Chevrolet Camaro. The news is very much welcome for Mustang fans after the Challenger outsold the Mustang during the third quarter of 2019, after which the Mustang reclaimed the first place spot during the fourth quarter.
By comparison, sales of the Challenger fell 10 percent to 12,138 units while Camaro sales decreased a whopping 40 percent to 7,185 units.

From a market share standpoint, the Mustang enjoyed a segment-leading 44 percent share (up from 36 percent in the year-ago quarter), followed by the Challenger with 30 percent (up 1 percent) and the Camaro with 17 percent (down from 26 percent). All other segment contenders saw less than 3 percent segment share.
The mainstream, two-door sports car segment contracted 12 percent to 41,137 units in Q1 2020. In that regard, Ford Mustang sales significantly outpaced the segment during the quarter.
The Ford Authority Take
The Mustang continues as America’s best-selling mainstream sports car, outselling all other rivals on a two-to-one basis. In addition, the Mustang managed to post an uptick in sales volume despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, while all other rivals with the exception of the Mazda Miata posted decreases in sales volumes.
We expect that, due to the ongoing impacts of the coronavirus, Mustang sales will slip during the second quarter. But once that’s over, things should pick back up.
Ford’s pony will gain a new model in the form of the 2021 Mustang Mach 1, which will replace the Bullitt. Meanwhile, the Shelby GT350 is not long for this world, as first reported by Ford Authority.

Comments
The Pony Car for a life time great job
Ford has done such an amazing job with the Mustang over the years and will probably continue to do so over the course of the next several years. With the car moving to the CD6 platform, I feel as though the car will definitely improve as it becomes a larger vehicle as it did from ’71-73. Hopefully Ford will finally retire the Shelby cars completely and Ford will move back to having cars such as the Mach 1, and a Boss Mustang above the GT and Ecoboost Mustangs. Hopefully Ford will take more of the styling from the 71-73 Mustang with the new CD6 car both inside and outside but what i’m really looking forward to is new engine options for the next Gen car. It would be cool to see Ford move to more ecoboost engines and even a first ever ecoboost V8 with a small displacement twin turbo V8 such as a 4.3L Ecoboost 260hi-PO and a 4.8L 298Hi-Po to go along with the 3.5L Ecoboost and 3.0L Ecoboost V6 engines. Back them with 10-speed automatics and 7-speed DCT units with AWD options along with a 3.0L Hybrid option.
