This could turn out to be a Grand National rerun.
Remember, buick only made the grand national for a short time not thinking it was going to do anything. Which it did not at the beginning. The discontinued it quick and now, the Grand National is a hot car to own with the turbocharged 6 banger.
I think the same thing will happen here. The car is not going to sell well at the start because for many mustang options that are out there. Also, none of the other automakers high powered sports sedans sell that well. EVEN DODGES. The Buick Lucerne, the CTS-V, the SRT 4 doors, and the M series beemers. All of them have crap sales and most of them have been revamped.
The CTS-V lost the LS6 engine. Changed to a supercharged Northstar because it was cheaper. Same thing on the Lucerne. The M3 from BMW is alright but the M5 sales are next to non existant.
I think this car will be on the sales lot for 2 years, get dumped, some speed shop will get a used one real cheap and put $2500 into and be able to blow the doors off any car on the road. Or it will just die out.
Most people looking for high power sedans are usually men for the need of the back seat. If the man has the option, he would go with a coupe model instead, because that is what is supposed to happen and this is what happened to me. I wanted to buy a challenger, but having my son in a car seat and the need for me to able to get into the back seat to make sure he is safe is just easier with a 4 door. Hence why I own a Charger and not a Challenger.
