Default AUSTRALIANS may soon be chanting "football, meat pies, kangaroos and Korean cars"

Holden, Ford and Mitsubishi are the worst performers.

This wouldn't happen in the U.S.S.R., people would be forced to by what the government told them. Oh hold on, they are no longer around, that system of government didn't work!

Ok, so when the Koreans sell a lot of cars its because Australia is buying them. But if Ford and Holden sell a lot of guys its only due to fleet sales?!

Give me a break!

Secondly, I have no doubt McDonalds sells more 'meals' than all Indian or Italian restaurants combined on any given day. Why?! Because theyre cheaper!

Now wouldnt it be nice if Holden fans could buy a Terri instead of a Captiva and Ford fans could buy Cruzes instead of Focuses.
