Re: What happened to Australia's car?

I really get cranky every time some idiot car exec says they were making the wrong car.
They said australians had shifted to small cars.Look at all the cruisers parked on every street.
They said we ween't buying sedans,look how many camry's toyota sells.
When I finally decided to end my NF fairlane the first cars I looked at were falcons. The quality was shockingly bad and the dealers treated me like dirt. So I grit my teeth and move on.
There is no mystery in why toyota have a 20% market share. No one has ever accused them of building stylish comfortable or involving cars to drive. They are reliable and at the lower end cost to maintain. They are a safe option compared to most others.
If holden and ford bothered to build better quality cars and/or stood by them when they went wrong they would still be significant players.
Of course I can't talk. I bought a subaru :(
