There's 3 manufacteres in the series, why would they change the rules to suit 1/3rd of them, Holden looked at the Camaro and made the correct decision to leave it off the table under current regulations.
The way i see it Ford had 3 choices, continue with the FGX in the short term and lobby for change to the chassis design, run the Mondeo in the short term and lobby for change to the chassis design or run a visually compromised Mustang.

Why would they run Mondeo bodies when it isn’t available with a V8 or any performance engine for that matter, and sells sweet fa every month? Why would they continue to run Falcons when it has been dead three years by the end of next season?
And you misread what I said. If the rules allowed for coupes in the first place, Holden would have run the Camaro, Nissan would have run either the 370Z or GT-R, Mercedes might have run one of their coupes and Ford would have run a more visually appealing ( to some) Mustang.
Ford announced Falcon was dead in 2013, the writing was on the wall for the Commodore after that. Supercars had 4 years to come up with something but didn’t.
Supercars stuffed up. Not Ford.
