I would be surprised it would be annonced this early even if sales are slowing. If the MkIII ( or whatever) is considerably different to the MKII then they will delay it's announcement and details till the last possible moment even though sales may be slowing. If the difference is significant, then it will kill any new sales when it is announced and they will have to provide large financial bonusses to shift MKII stock. Slowing sales before a significant new model is not necessarily a bad thing. Particularly if they manage stock. YOu can still pick up a 2004 model Falcon or Holden brand new if you look around, and at a real cheap price. It's a very delicate ballancing act on how they do this to keep vehicles moving. Hope it's not called the MK III that will probably increase the resale value of my BAII.
