'Sad' is a little strong. Disappointed is a better word. The Camaro has had a great 35-year history and will be missed.

Do you think the Mustang will go the way of the Camaro, or be changed to a sedan or something in the future?

The Mustang will stay around, especially as it's one of the few 'muscle cars' around anymore. It won't be changed to a sedan. That would be absurd.

Will owning a Mustang be as exciting, when there is nothing to race against it?

Nothing to race against it? There will be thousands of very fast Camaro's around for many, many years (until they become 'collectables'). The foreign cars are getting faster too and will also be competition for the Mustang.

As for being exciting, I offer the example of the Corvette. Nothing else was like it until the Viper came along and even now, it's a very exciting car - with or without competition. The Mustang will be the same way. With or without competition, the 'Stang will still be an exciting car to own and drive.

What we'll lose is the yearly HP wars and endless debate about who is faster - or better, Camaro or Mustang. Now, we can just enjoy the Mustang without the arguments and debates.
