Sitting behind Mitsubishi and Nissan who, lets face it look like they are on their last legs from a passenger car standpoint.

Honda in the USA, for example, are quite strong -- Honda Pilot large SUV & Honda Ridgeline dual-cab ute would be good sellers in Australia if available in RHD... It's just that Honda
Australia are incompetent with their policy of only bringing Thai-made models and then overpricing them.
Honda are also weak on hybrid models, but when the
Honda Insight (Civic Hybrid) is only made in LHD (!!!) I'm not sure what Honda Australia can do about that.
The sales of Corolla Hybrid and RAV4 Hybrid suggest that similar models could potentially be good sellers...
