I think Mary will be ousted before the Camaro is axed. Camaro makes money based on marketing of toys, video games and merch. Compared to the Impala, the Camaro brings in a lot more money for the automaker.

Sad, but probably true... pretty bad when your banking on the Toy Market to prop up your car market!

But that was a "halo" car vs the camaro which is supposed to be mass market pony car. I'm sure the Ford GT isn't bringing in much money either, but the mustang, camaro, and challenger all sure should.
