You can't blame the public for not buying "big local cars"...the Commodore and Falcon are the "flagship" models, but in this economic climate people want cheaper to run cars. I just got the rego for our four cylinder Triton...just over $700 here in Queensland...but that's a huge saving over our previous car, the six cylinder G6E. People do think about this sort of thing when making a purchase.
