As new car sales across the United States start to rebound with states opening up during the coronavirus pandemic, it is the Dodge Challenger that has proven to be the most popular muscle car.
During the third quarter of the year, a total of 16,332 Dodge Challengers were sold across the United States. That represents a 9.42 per cent fall in sales compared to the 18,031 Challengers that were sold in the third quarter of 2019. However, it does give Dodge a 42 per cent share of the two-door muscle car market in the United States, an increase from the 38 per cent share it had during Q3 2019.

With a total of 16,332 Dodge Challengers being sold last quarter, it easily outsold the Ford Mustang with the automaker reporting sales of 13,851 for Q3. That is a 17.76 per cent fall on the 16,823 Mustangs that were sold in Q3 2019 and gives the muscle car a 36 per cent share of the market.
Coming in third place and representing just 22 per cent of the two-door muscle car market is the Chevrolet Camaro with sales of 8,366 during Q3. That is a significant 31.85 per cent drop from the 12,275 Camaros that were sold in Q3 2019.
While the Challenger led the charge during the third quarter, the Ford Mustang remains the best-selling two-door muscle car of 2020 with year-to-date sales in the U.S. of 47,637, a comfortable lead over the 38,350 Dodge Challengers that were sold in the first nine months of the year. Chevrolet has sold just 22,226 Camaros this year, a 39.59 per cent decline from the 36,791 it had sold at this stage last year.
