Another bad month expected. Maybe the whole market will be 10% lower than May 2010.

Terri being delayed would have hurt FoA. Falcon & Ute will prob be low, unless the latest deals moved a few more units.
Industry as a whole should be fine as there's plenty of stock (as its expected the second half of the year for sales to suffer).

The new Territory has been delayed twice due to software bugs on tier 1 supplier components.

Yeah and it would be hurting sales as they don't have the vehicles to sell. Orders don't count as sales.

I would be expecting Toyota to have a significant drop.

Enough for what?
If Holden think they have achieved something here they are being extremely naive.

I don't believe Holdens boost is because of Toyota's supply issues, therefore I wouldn't expect Fords numbers to jump also as a result.
But given Toyota is almost back at capacity, and getting back into the market place advertising in June you'll see how quick the results will turn around.

I was going to post last night that GMHolden and Hyundai should be the winners for May 2011 sales. I did not expect GMH to beat Toyota though. I figured it might be close at best...
I hope Ford has held onto about 9-10% of market share. But the delay on the SZ Territory will be hurting.

Never thought I'd see the day Volkswagen Golf outselling the Falcon in Australia.

I am surprised that Cruze was not number 1 this month. In fact, it is hard to justify buying a base Commodore for 33k when a Cruise is 22k and has more feautures and uses less fuel.

But in the end 40% of Commodores are 6 litre V8s. Cruze and Commodore compete in two totally different segments which perhaps gives the Commodore a little breathing room, in fact the Cruze does not to be appear to affecting Commodore sales at all if we look at the massive drop off in the large car market with Commodore steady plateau. Commodore will see an uptick when the dedicated LPG Commodore comes online which will go after the the Falcon LPG fleet buyer, although the Falcon will have the better LPG system, if we look at current Omega and XT petrol sales fleets seem to care little for the better mechanical package. Hopefully the competition, hype and media attention about the new Holden and Ford LPG will bring more consumers in which will benefit both. Sportwagon needed LPG a million years ago, so be interesting to see if they go space-saver spare tyre to get it to happen. |

It will be interesting to see if the Cruze maintains its run. Up until very recently, Holden were still running out the series i cruzes (imported). Base models series ii cruzes are effectively around $1500 dearer than the series 1's, which is quite a steep increase for a low $20 thousand car.
I dont think anyone could argue that a $21990 1.8 litre cruze, is better than a $20990 Lancer, or a $21990 mazda 3 with air con etc. Its especially hard to see how people argue that cruze local production would cause a jump in public buying. With 86% of cars being sold being imported, country of origin factors would seem to play a role in a minority of buyers. I would suspect any initial upsurge in Cruze sales, would result from its inclusion on government tier one fleet list. The unjustified 7% price rise, and inital buy up of fleets should cause cruze sales to drop and plateau over the coming months. |

Is that Ranger figure for 4x4 and 4x2 or only 4x4 models?
Would it suprise people to know that Ranger (4x4 and 4x2) is only about 500 units behind Falcon sedan YTD? Thats only roughly though taking figures off charts. Also assuming that Ranger figure given in this thread is for both 4x4 and 4x2. If it doesn't include 4x2 then it would be close indeed. |

Ford have alot more incentive to advertise a 1500 a month Ranger selling for high $30 thousands to public buyers, than it does selling 1400 a month low $30 thousand Falcons that mainly go to fleets anyhow. |
