The huge growth in the faux wheel drive and off road 4WD markets far outstrips the modest growth in the econobox market. Further, the new Falcon and Commodore are very efficient and give quite good fuel economy.

I do 30K p.a. and by my calcs, switching to a little 4 cyl car would save me about $20/week. Woopty do!
You are right about the fuel economy........if I drive sensibly I can get over 800kms out of the 68 litre tank with the old SOHC in-line six on the open road, and it's not too bad around town either..........ecoboost 4 would be even better.
