Camaro Most Popular Sports Car on Street and on Facebook

DETROIT – The Chevrolet Camaro continues to be the best-selling sports car in the United States, and now is the most-popular vehicle on Facebook. The official Camaro page has 1.8 million fans – and counting – more than any other official vehicle page on the social media platform. Nearly 60 percent of these fans are between the ages of 18 and 34, one illustration that the Camaro is introducing younger buyers to Chevrolet.

“The community that has grown around the Camaro is truly remarkable,” said Carolin Probst-Iyer, digital consumer engagement manager for Chevrolet. “With nearly 2 million fans, people are constantly posting new photos and content, which in turn inspires comments and engagement from other fans. As a result, the community provides an invaluable way for us to communicate directly with the most passionate Camaro enthusiasts and to understand what they like most about their favorite sports car.”

The passion and enthusiasm evident within the Facebook community has helped make the Camaro the best-selling sports car for the second year running.

Camaro passed the Ford Mustang in total sales in 2010, despite the Camaro being available only as a coupe until late fall. The arrival of the Camaro Convertible early this year helped extend that sales lead into 2011. From January through August, Camaro is on track to surpass Mustang sales by more than 10,000 vehicles.

Camaro growth – in total sales and in Facebook “likes” – is expected to continue with the introduction of the new Transformers Edition Camaro this fall, and the Camaro ZL1 in 2012. With more than 550 horsepower the supercharged ZL1 will be the most powerful and most capable Camaro ever produced.

“The fifth-generation Camaro has been inspiring fans from the moment it was introduced,” said John Fitzpatrick, Camaro marketing manager. “The new ‘Bumblebee’ and the new Camaro ZL1 will give Camaro enthusiasts even more reasons to talk about their favorite sports car.”

Fair nuff...but i bet that if youd put all the UNofficial and Official page of a 670-SV or Veyron together it MURDER the 1.8mil number...just sayin.

 

[Ford Fanboy] I don't understand how so many people love the Camaro when it's so heavy. The new Mustang is light-years ahead of the Camaro in terms of performance and quality, and cheaper to boot.

I blame Transformers.

Haters all of you.


Fords Suck and they are Ugly


If you want a performance car you don't buy a 35k vehicle. Sorry guys popularity isn't always about which is fastest to 60....

 

Camaro looks cool but I agree with Al, heavy is good way of representing it

 

Big fan of this and the vette grand-sport, may be my next car.

 

That AMG chick shoulda kept her striped camaro.

 

I'd like to test one of these out, I am sure they are a blast.

 

The Chick or the Striped Camaro?

 

If you've driven one of these back to back to a Mustang I really have a hard time wondering how anyone could buy a Camaro. Yes they're pretty cool/retro looking but that's about where it stops, the second you turn the wheel they're a completely different animal.
