Depends on your point of view. Falcon sell more to fleets as a percentage of Falcon sales while Commodore sell more to fleets in outright sales.

Well I dont know what Ford do, as I dont have first hand experience, but as for the commodore, lets just say in certain years when stock levels are quite high in the lasts months of the year, I beg to differ with you. Quote:
What is appalling tho, is that only one government has an incentive to buy the commodores (south australian), and yet Ford manufacture in a state that is a few times larger (in popultion ) than south australia, and only picks up half the government business. |

I expect some slight modification to both car will see that injury score improve. There's not really that much between the two and possibly enough said that both are 5 star and not much to be gained pointing out the difference to buyers.... Just be aware that the next batch of testing will be much tougher, Jaguar's XF has already fallen foul overseas and received only 4 stars when previously it would have scored 5. Most likely, both manufacturers will ride their 5 star accreditation as long as they can before having to retest. |

A lot of those "non privates" are actually novated leases and those employees
get to chose their own car, brand loyalty and cost are major considerations. Assuming that non private is just fleet is very misleading, a big group of quasi private buyers hide under that banner. |

ancap ratings are a bit tricky when comparing cars of various shapes and sizes and masses. do the cars get crashed into a solid object of similar weight, or a stationary object etc. doesn't really represent a large vehicle hitting a small vehicle.

I can only suggest you check out the ANCAP website and make up your own mind... |

they are fairly relevant class v class, but when you start comparing cars from different classes, its not quite that simple. |

after the crash, the excess force would result in either a slight forward or backward motion. Unless you're talking about a runover situation with a much larger truck/semi, then other factors would apply.... |

this is just a random clip which doesn't actually have any results listed so not sure of what the outcome of passengers was likely to be. fiat 500 is 5 star, audi q7 is 4 star. on that basis, you would say the fiat is safer than the audi?? i still believe, the ratings are only relevant when compared to vehicles of same class. |
