shadyxr Donating Members 132 Member For: 21y 13d Location: Sydney Posted 28/02/07 11:51 AM Share Posted 28/02/07 11:51 AM This may be slight off topic but someone posted that Late model camira outsold Ford by 2:1. Lets look at the real figures which are based on locally manufactured vehicles versus imports. These figures are from the FCAI website. Sales for Jan 2007: Ford 4169. Holden: 4551. Mitsu: 1042. Toyota: 2472Compared to last years Jan sales, Ford sales are down 12.7% Expensive Daewoo down 17.9%Mitsu are up 27.9% & Toyota down 7.9%Remember these are locally manufactured vehicles.Imports for Jan 2007 are 64,702 with Japan making up 30,933 of these figures. Imports are up by 14.1% compared to Jan last year.So, in summing up. Australia needs laws that have the balls to do something about imports. If you want to import, then lets make a rule that makes overseas manufacturers produce a larger percentage of vehicles in this country. By the way, how many of us die hard Ford/Expensive Daewoo fans have a Jap import parked in the driveway. Go figure as they say. My 2cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mentioned Falcon vs Late model camira sales: 1995 vs 3453. Nah, I don't have a Jap car in the garage; it's german. I hope you aren't advocating this insular patriotic view we should only buy Australian cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadyxr Donating Members 132 Member For: 21y 13d Location: Sydney Posted 01/03/07 02:51 AM Share Posted 01/03/07 02:51 AM Thanks EvilF6. Misread your post on figures. What site do you use to reference figures ? And No, I don't advocate insular attitude. My family have 2 Fords, 1 Mazda, 1 Nissan and have have owned Holdens also. I find it interesting to see the outcry when local manufacturers put wokers off yet the government pours millions into a failing model 380.

I hope not, Or I'll buy anoyher Typhoon and put it in the shed for the future.BBB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While your there check out the 2007 Ford Edge, I like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
