Crazy month for Corolla!
Holden Cruze is going to be a BIG seller once they get the hatch, wagon, sports versions, local production and turbo 1.4 here. |

That is a lot of Corollas, was not aware of the finance promotion. Very clever move by Toyota.
And I still don't know how Holden plan to make money from Cruze...............?

Most of those start up and tooling costs are covered by Korean and USA manufacturing. |

it feels like Ford will wait until Falcon falls out of the top ten before declaring its hand, that doesn't mean Falcon sales will fall further, more like other vehicles becoming more popular. Sales numbers are important to falcon but so too is product mix and without knowing how that will change, we're really only guessing. It still doesn't look good.....

more Omegas but it also sells a lot more high series/V8 cars too. So in essence, Holden is outflanking Ford at both ends of the market. It will be interesting to see the respective company profits for 2010, I think both of them will turn in much better performances. |

as usual on aff, there is an overwhelming obsession with sales numbers. Oh no, falcon is down to 6th. Apparently, not only do people want falcon to win its own class its meant to compete with small, medium and commercial cars too. People looking at corollas won't even be thinking of falcon. Same goes for hilux, mazda 3 and cruze.

it must be embarrassing for Ford officials that the Falcon is selling so poorly in this its 50th Anniversary year, I'm sure that the brass were expecting a much bigger buyer response. |

That Falcon number is very bad, especially considering the backlog of FPV V8 sales that would be included in that number... Problem is, with LiLPG, I4 EB & XR8 over 8-9 months away things wont get any better anytime soon... I'm guessing when the new Territory comes out, it will be Fords best selling car month in, month out... God hopes they are at least still making money on these numbers??

Ford is starting to see a back log of unsold car because dealers refuse to carry the stock themselves. |

Not having any LPG cars to sell is taking away a massive chunk of Falcon sales. Simple as that.
December, January and February will be shockers. Down days a plenty. |

Somewhere between 20 to 30%, depending on the month.
