Resale values of Falcon's & Commodore's into the used car market, bought as new cars is atrocious. That is what the article is trying to say. The article is about the relevance of the local manufacturers and their locally made products.

It is not the media that is killing the two cars above, it's competition and the huge selection of new cars available to the new cars buyer these days.

The largest vehicle segment ATM is the "C" car class (Mazda 3, Corolla, Focus) it is now three times as big as the large cars segment (now 10%). Years ago it was large cars first (40%) and daylight second, that will never happen again.
