I'm not the only one. Thankyou!

Number of people going too slow, speeding, cutting me off, indicating at the last second, hogging the right lane etc. in a Camry is startling.

Indecision also annoys me, and the Camry is number one for that.

Not to say I'm the perfect driver...but I stay in the left lane unless turning right or overtaking.

Unfortunately, the Barina (Daewoo Kalos), Viva (Daewoo Lacetti), and Craptiva are also reheated Daewoos and Holden managed to shift over 2500 of them in total.

Holden Barina 963
Holden Captiva 938
Holden Epica 37
Holden Viva 665

Shows how uneducated the general Australian car buyers are and how if you price something cheap enough, people will buy it.

I feel sorry for the 37 people that bought the Epica. Would have to be brand bias.

Ford are pushing dealers big at the moment to outsell the "lion" this month. It will be a very interesting July indeed.

37 Epicas could be just dealer demos.
Registered but not sold to the unsuspecting public.
Unfortunately they will eventually be sold as used Holdens.

No surprise Falcon didn't make it in the top 10 for private sales, when the G6ET, XR6T and FPV's come online in full swing we should see some better indication of where they'll sit.

Interesting figures when you think about it. Of all four of the Holdenwoo's the only 1 I could conceed is worthy of sitting in the Holden stable is the lowest selling. Barina's should be rejected at the Port, sold to unsuspecting young women who think they are getting a downsized commodore instead are lumped with an underpowered golf cart.
