Especially now that Hyundai is snapping at their heels and VW/Audi is going from strength to strength. Now is not the time for Toyota to be complacent. However they do have one thing on their side, the majority of people being creatures of habit, are too afraid of change and have blinkers on that are so tight that they refuse to accept there are other brands out there that may have something better for their purpose. This goes for more than just Toyota owners/drivers…

Yeah, most are sold to the same places that buy the most Commodores and Falcons. The Fleets! It is rather humerous that once fleet sales are taken out of the equation, the big 3 cars are lucky to make it into the top 5! At the end of the day though, a sale is a sale!

Since the global financial crisis most car-makers are now restricting facelifts to just a new bumper and new wheel designs. Whereas a decade or so ago, you’d get completely new sheetmetal. The same thing actually happened back in the mid 90s when Japan was in a recession – updates were much more minimal.

Toyota generally don’t fiddle much in mid-life refreshes compared to Ford and Holden. Part of it is that they rely on Japan head office on any new parts whereas Ford and Holden can push through new improvements alot more quickly.

The Aurion and the Camry are so behind the times it’s not funny. They’re cars that I laugh at the owners of because they are obviously painfully boring people or they were talked around by a Toyota salesman.

australia demographics show lots of young families increasing. Smart car company would look at sell vehicle that:
1. look good
2. go good
3. have big room
4. no take much petrol
5. give lot for money

Carnival sell good because it give much for not much.
aurion wagon not kluger!!! can sell good if it got good price.
