It seems there’s always something new to say about the Camaro and Mustang, even though their duel has been going strong since the 1960s.

There have been few breaks in the rivalry over the decades, and now it may be more intense than ever.

The newest Camaro and Mustang are arguably the best these cars have ever been. Both vehicles continue to rocket out of dealer doors as they grow faster, stronger, and more nimble with every passing model year.

The Mustang has outsold the Camaro for nearly two years, but a brand new Camaro and an aging Mustang have swapped positions for the first time in 22 months.

Can the Camaro hold onto the sales crown?

You’re probably aware that Japanese companies often have diverse product lines. Among other things, Sony makes televisions, speakers, and video-game consoles.

The Autumn Equinox is September 22, but when the kids go back to school, summer is unofficially over. Sure, there are plenty of warm days left, but the nights have started getting cooler, and it’s only a matter of time before the leaves change and the chill of fall and winter will take hold. Now’s the time to start thinking about tires.

Automakers routinely tout all-wheel drive as the best way to deal with challenging conditions, but regardless of which wheels get power, the tires are the only parts of a car that actually touch the road. A good set of winter tires can turn a rear-wheel-drive sports car into a competent winter commuter car, while a set of ultra-high-performance summer tires can render an AWD-equipped car useless in the snow.

If you’ve shopped for a used car, you’re well aware of the difference good photos can make in a classified ad. CarGurus offers free listings, and to take full advantage, sellers should know exactly what buyers are looking for.

In addition to pricing the car right and writing a thorough and accurate description, your photos should tell potential buyers everything they need to know about the car.
