If you add up the total sales in groups of companies I wonder how ford is going, ie, Ford plus volvo plus maybe 30%? of mazda. They dont own Land rover, Aston Martin or Jag anymore.
Toyota has lexus Holden has hummer, saab, isuzu Hyundai has Kia Citroen has Peugeot Fiat has chrysler Porsche now has volkswagan and Audi, lambo, skoda, I think?! hmm, its interesting. |

I think vw and porsche are together, its failed as a group now and needs more cash together to keep going. Porsche didnt fail on their own they borrowed to get VW and did, but have now have made the group need cash. They didnt give VW back and somehow now owe billions for nothing.

Holden don't have Isuzu. Independent franchises since GM canceled their agreement with Isuzu, which is why we now have 2 badges on the same car. The Holden Colorado / Isuzu DMax.

It's now more of a merger than a takeover. Last I heard, they've actually had to sell some 20% of VW to some middle eastern consortium for an injection of funds. |

GT69 is correct. Ssangyong is actually owned by SAIC. This month will be interesting. Ford have had to make ~750 more cars this month, just to keep up with demand, and seem to be taking the down days out of July's production as well. Hopefully, this can eventually result in an increased line rate.

Top Australian Vehicles June 2009 Vehicle - Sales 1. Toyota HiLux - 4756 2. Holden Commodore - 4748 3. Toyota Corolla - 4066 4. Mazda 3 - 3741 5. Ford Falcon - 3410 6. Mitsubishi Triton - 3043 7. Hyundai i30 - 2742 8. Nissan Navara - 2568 9. Hyundai Getz - 2263 10. Toyota Yaris - 2194 Amazing off-road ute sales and Sportwagon sales (outsold every SUV again). Lucky Ford got rid of the RTV and didnt update the wagon... I remember reading that Ford had stock issues with Falcon so it will be interesting to see if they have a few orders up their sleeve.

Yeh, and they coulda sold another 500+ sedans / utes if they actually built enough... The demand for XR6's in both sedan and ute was huge! Good work Ford... not... As for orders, anyone who diddnt get before 30th of june woulda cancelled if they wanted the tax bonus, they wont bother with it now till dec!
Alot of Holdens stock was 2008 plate cars, Ford dont have any 2008 plate stock, so i guess when you look at it Ford are still probably better positioned without the finance costs of old stock, but figures always shine dont they.. Mazda 3 = meh!

I was of the opinion that the Navara is a better vehicle than the Hilux........? Why such a massive sales disparity?

That could consist of 3500 Falcon sedans & wagons. 1250 Falcon Ute 1250 Territory The other is that Ford NZ sells the Falcon at about 100-200 a month too. PS Hope these improved sales continue. Now to improve the Euro designed stuff.

Brand loyalty is the reason for Hiluxs sales, and the fact that they have the greater supply network.
Reliablity of the current model Hiluxs are pretty woeful to be honest.

...when you add up the numbers, Ford is only 400 units behind holden for Aussie made vehicles and both are way ahead of Toyota. (6570 Holden, 6162 Ford, 4666 Toyota). That's if the Kluger is made here- i'm not sure.
