2019 VFacts data shows an 8% decrease in Australian vehicle sales for the year, a changing model landscape, and a huge 29% drop for Holden in particular:
https://www.carsales.com.au/editoria...losers-122319/ Hatchbacks, SUV's & dual-cab utes are where it's currently at; sedans are well and truly on the outer. Interesting to see RAM being a winner, and a smart transition decision for HSV's operations. How ironic would it be if HSV were to outdo and outlast Holden? |

Not only has he kept all the jobs inside and at suppliers, it looks to be going well enough that he will create more. |

Ram will do okay until the next GFC, fuel price spike and, banks get a bit touchy about what they are lending money for!

Australians I think are starting to develop a taste for American sized trucks, so I suspect the Ram business will be sustainable for some time to come.

That said, I live in a regional area, and there are more Dodge utes than Mitsubishi Tritons. |

abomination. In comparison if you go to NZ you will see the absolute opposite. Far more cars than large SUV/utes etc. Why - maybe because their car rego is $200 and their petrol is $2.20 per litre. |

Ancap only come into play if the vehicle crashes into a solid object - “safety” encompasses a lot of things, including grip, handling, responsiveness & the like, so-called active safety. The original point about dual cabs in general being unsafe in comparison to cars is realistic. ![]() Shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone. |

People driving to work or kids to school in a dual cab is stupid, and the trend only started because of a ludicrous tax break that should never have existed. |
