I doubt that either of those two competitor's cars are making that much money... It is clear that Mazda and Toyota recognise the threat that Cruze poses and have responded. Not to mention the delightful Focus Ambiente ripping in under Cruze... |

I can't believe Lolux sales are so high. It demonstrates the general public are brainwashed by marketing.

Why haven't Ford given the diesel engine a run in the Falcon?. It would have been such a better option than the ecoboost

Good point!
I got my info from here: http://www.caradvice.com.au/175717/c...rs-and-losers/ This paragraph: "Meanwhile in the blue corner, the Ford Focus enjoyed its best sales month since January 2008, reaching 1667 units. The Ranger (1611) and Territory (1280) were both up on May 2011, while the Falcon struggled to 1008 sales and remains more than 25 per cent off last year’s pace with just 5415 sales so far in 2012."

It's becoming more obvious that the Falcon and Commodore Utes just don't make sense anymore, even with a diesel, they are just not as practical as a Ranger or Hilux.

The kind of guys that would buy a Falcon like my father once he retired didn't because there is no suitable Falcon, I'm sure that pushes a lot of potential buyers to the 2WD Territory but it really should be an option in the Falcon. As a dual purpose machine or towing rig I'd take a diesel ute over a less drivable Hilux. If it was a strictly company machine doing all it's work off road then sure you would go with the Hilux Last edited by greenfoam; 06-06-2012 at 01:24 PM. |

Positive product in the pipeline which will give the EcoLPI fans (sedan and Ute) further options, hopefully helping Falcon sales.

Ecolpi can have 18 inch wheels fitted in the coming months instead of 17's.

19's should also be available, which also means you can option the full luxury pack.
Should only be a good thing for consumers. I know many instances where people had to turn away from ecoLPI simply because they weren't able to get these options. |

sounds good.. luxary/cut price LPG motoring and a a bit faster than the petrol.. quite a few "wins" there.
How about a LPG i6 T for xr6T and FPV 6T's? random ford i6's on LPG have been down the quater in 10's so a fast LPG i6T is not such a dream right? |

but have you noticed the difference in price between a Corolla and a Camry or a Mazda 3 and a 6? That should tell you something about the skinny profit margins on small cars.. |

My wife has just bought a Mazda 3 Skyactive.
It's a Dec 2011 build and she payed $23000 for it. Now that's almost $10k in saving. Only has 250km on the clock and not registered. That's what i call discounting to get the sale, something (i would doubt) Ford would do. |

This is what I'm talking about with sales of 3 and Corolla, sure Mazda and Toyota are getting sales but they seem to be doing it by cutting prices to the bone...Holden and Ford not so much but getting good sales. |

No Fords in the top ten either for the month or YTD. Commodore down to 5th YTD. Could Mazda become number 2 manufacturer YTD now with CX5 in full swing and BT50 supplies starting to free up?

New i30 is quite a package. Leaps and bounds ahead of the old one. I expect to see its sales increase and probably take a few from Cruze.
