Guym, all that info is NOT in the public domain. You only get edited highlights of the VFACTS(the source of all sales and market share data in the Australian Automotive markets) in the press. You have to pay to get all the info. (And I get to see it all)
You seemed to have missed (or ignored) an important point in the emotive respones above.
Yes large cars have declined. But they are still amongst the largest sellers in the market. In other words, there is still significant demand for them, and thus no-one is simply going to walk away from them just because they sold more in the past
Mondeo will struggle at first, as most "new" nameplates do. (The first generations of Astra and Focus both struggled)
Their is tremendous power in established names (Corolla, Civic, Falcon) that shouldn't be underestimated
I think you make some relevant points. But even you described it as a "rant" and I'm afriad a "you're all idiots and I am smarter than you" type approach is only ever going to get you a heated response
