Don't forget that a minority of these cars are the V8 versions. For comparison the Mustang V6 gets 17/26mpg. The Toyota Camry V6 gets 19/28mpg. The Accord V6 gets 19/29.

The most similar car on the market is the Pontiac G8, which is basically the same architecture and mechanicals, but in a longer 4 door body. The V8 version gets 15/24mpg, V6 gets 17/25 mpg.

These aren't stellar numbers, but in the same class as similarly sized and engined cars. 17 million cars are sold in the US per year, the new Camaro might sell 100k units in its first year.

Supply and demand will sort this out eventually. The full size truck and SUV market has largely collapsed and the market for compact cars is doing very well at the moment.
