Lowest march since 2014. However Holden's lowest March recorded since 1948!

Holden in trouble, “big time”. This is just not sustainable.
I wonder where that “Commodore will recover to about 2,000 units per month” dude is ? |

Holden need a good spread of models. This is where their problem is. Acadia is doing nothing as are the other models. Colorado isn't popular really. They really need a halo model.

They could start with the model having a more realistic price tag for a Holden brand. They have the Ford mindset that they think their cars are premium.

Also Ecosport and Mondeo - chopping block for sure? Ford Australia went from being the Falcon car company to the Ranger car company Honorable mention for a halo car (Mustang) contesting high up on the list. |

Focus sales seem reasonable considering its challenges.

Ford Endura is doing well. I could see Ford becoming a top 3 brand one day. Toyota, Mazda and Ford. If they get Focus and Escape up to sales they deserve with the new models, they will knock off Hyundai and Mitsubishi. Hyundai will eventually sink without a dual cab and they have lost their value/warranty edge.
Mazda and soon-Ford have nailed their lineups. |

Interesting that new Escape looks like a big Focus, that styling will be echoed in the new Edge (Endura) Puma and Ecosport, hybrid versions would be a welcome addition to our market. |

I reckon Hyundai will extend their warranty at least out to 7 years to match their sister brand, Kia. Like you say, it is an edge they have lost now that most others also do 5years.

If Hyundai got to 7 years warranty. Kia will probably go to 10 years warranty. |

Great way to lock in your customers long term and keep the dealer's service department busy.

In saying that, I heard that Kia will go to 10 years if the competition matches its 7 years.

Keeping all that in mind, once both brands get the ute they so desperately need, they will explode. I wish Ford could get themselves sorted but not sure they will be a solid top 3 for sometime.

SUD Astra production has stopped. No Astra figures in a few months time. Rumour is it will be replaced by Chev Cavalier.

I see quite a few Barina "demos" on dealers forecourts in my Travels.
But they would've been counted back late last year I would say.. |
