The first three months of 2022 are officially in the books. With many automakers reporting sales on a quarterly level, this means we can take a look at the numbers for comparisons in various segments. Pony cars account for a very small portion of overall sales, but it's a very visible segment and as such, US automakers love claiming bragging rights. For the first quarter of the year, the honor goes to the Blue Oval.
The Ford Mustang bested the Dodge Challenger and Chevrolet Camaro in sales through the first three months of 2022. 13,986 models found homes, which is a 19 percent drop from the previous year. The victory is a slim one, however, as Dodge sold 11,124 Challengers for the same period. It's a 26 percent year-over-year drop, which certainly isn't a good sign for the aging muscle machine considering it ended 2021 up by 3 percent.
