The one day drive i did in the camaro was pure torture for me as im 195cm tall and had to squeeze myself into it. It had less room than the mini metro i owned in the UK. The camaro was cheaply made inside the same as most US cars but the v6 was suprisingly sweet and sounded great while the car handled realy well.
Why amd i saying all this? I honestly wouldnt be suprised at all if holden releases the camaro here and it similarly outsells the mustang here as it seems to do in the states.
FORD has really just shat on its fans yet again with the mustang.
Its an awesome car but they are feeding us watered down basic models with fun stuff removed.
If they were serious they would have come in hard with the whole range of mustangs and also brought in access to the ford performance gear thats available stateside.
I just dont think ford australia really gives a dam about large perfirmance cars anymore and the only true performance options in their range will end up being the fiesta and focus turbos.
Sure youll be able to spend a truck load of cash on your aussie mustang and make it into a beast but these early offerings are limp.

Mustang out sold Camaro by about 45,000 cars in 2015...

and if I remember correctly the S550 has beaten the Camaro every month. since it's release.

That's why Chev are chasing rentals, and there is a waiting list for retail Mustangs perhaps ?
