Firstly, these two statements are bloody ridiculous. People are not idiots, it is obvious that you guys chose you Fiesta's on some rational thought, but so does everyone else. Most people (even alot of Fiesta owners who dont sit on FF.com.au all day) would have bought a small car based on other appealing features than you. Just because people look for different features (be it cup holders, its colour or its looks) it does not make them idiots. Most people do not care about engine size and wether the car is aimed at a more "premium" segment (to me small car + premium segment = no sense as I would look for a budget car, but that is my opinion and does not make you all idiots)

Secondly, I still dont understand peoples obsession with sales.

Sales are not always indicator of a cars quality. Ford do not make cars in Australia just to be the number one manufacturer on sales, they do it to make a profit. Now in the case of the Falcon, Ford enjoy larger profit margins than Holden, so sales do not have to match the Commodore to create similar return on investment. I think you are all using sales to justify your purchase. But as said in my first point, you bought what you bought because you think it was best, and just be happy with it.
