Oh, were you referring to sales? The Landcruiser, Camry and Corolla come to mind.

“Aaahhh there are just as many people living in the more affluent or well off suburbs of Sydney melbourne Adelaide and Perth that either aspire to actually do own/drive a SS Commodore Ute or Sedan; XR8 Ute or Sedan; GT; GT-P or F6 Falcon; or even a Maloo; Clubsport or Statesman Caprice”

Was this research conducted by the same morons who work in GMH business development? Or by you in your free time when you’re not posting here?

I don’t think you understand the meaning of the word aspire…

“Infact [and this might surprise you] there is more disposable income in thewestern suburbs of Sydney than there is on the North Shore.
Therefore; there are there are just as many if not more people from the more traditional “lower socio economic suburbs of Sydney who can afford to own/drive more luxuriois cars such as BMWs and Merc-Benzs ..
Just because you change suburb doesn’t mean that you have to change your car.”

I am lost for words at your knowledge and insight. Truly. When you get correct facts I might even agree with you.

Realist,
i know no manufacturer is perfect,
i was just pointing out to those that think toyota is, that they arent

Sad thing is Dingbat, I’ve probably owned more toyotas than you have.

[Realists reply] Neither do Holden or Ford brainiac.

Aahh the Commodore is the best selling in its class not to mention Australia….

Neither do Holden or Ford brainiac.

Actually the new Landcruiser is the best 4WD on the market – expensive yes, but the best nonetheless.

Toyota executives would be happy their cars aren’t as aspirational as the bright green or purple SS commies for the masses in Mt Druitt, Dandenong, Cringila…

“You can often tell if someone is a scitzophrenic with split personalities etc.. when you look at the way they write; structure their sentences; their grammar and the words they use etc.”

Once again you’ve astounded us with your intelligence – honestly mate, if I was your father I’d be an embarassed man…

Are you by chance Bavarian Missile? Good ploy that, trying to act like an immature teenie from a lower socio economic background.

\”Dingo,
have you found the unevenly fitted tail lights on your Sportivo Camry yet???
VVRRRRRRRMMMMMMM
go the 4cyl camry sportivo!!!!\”

Mate, what do you drive? If you say Commie or Falcon I’ll have a hearty laugh – you think those vehicles are pinnacles in engineering?

VVRRRRRRRMMMMMMM
go the 4cyl camry sportivo!!!!

I know 2 people who have the same model as Dingo.
from another movie regarding the quality, it…..
QUOTE…….
“aint all that!!”

Dlr1,
true that,
You need your finger in many pies to become the number 1.
Toyota have multiple gfingers in each pie, its little surprise that they move the numbers

Mind you I’d like to know why would any one buy a new car that looks like its been used in one of the ANCrAP Crash Tests?

“She waits as he goes outside with his trusty flashlight and screw driver to see\”

As for not offering vans or full size 4×4s etc why would they when theos market sectors are already dominated by another manufacturer.. Unlike Toyota who are trying yto be everything to everyone and entering new markets; spending billions trying to take on/beat the established makes and models.

Unlike Toyota; Mazda are focussing on what they are good at that is building small-medium sized cars.. which when you look at the number of Mazda 2s 3s and 6s on the roads is probably the reason they have steadily made their way up the ladder and gained a reputation for better value for money etc.

The CX7 is also a much bertter looking car than the Kluger – it doesn’t roll over at medium speeds for a start

why have they compared 2nd half of the year figures to the whole of the year figures??

it should actually compare 2nd half with 1st half.

it should read 2nd half average of 18,590 compared to an average of 21,210 for the first half of the year. (thats the apples and apples way)
it paints a different picture.

Break it down into quarters and it becomes even more clear that the end of the year has slumped, even for toyota.
the record year spell was proped up by the start of the year.

So will Toyota have to cut back on the free Cardy in all Camrys ? hahaha

How is a Camry and a V6 Camry not a chicks car ? Its made for blouses!
