Surprised with Toyota's reaction, but they would have a better idea than me.

This will affect BMW, Merc, Audi big time, might finally get them out of the top 10.
No actually it will not affect them much at all. Look at any Telstra car park or the like. These are full of Commodores, Falcons and shoeboxes not Mercs and Audis etc.

Those who play at the high end have much more clever ways to claim their $300k supercars.

This plot will kick a lot of tradies, contractors, small business owners and lower management people in the guts nothing more.

The real result of this with regard to small business owners is that if the car costs more then they will either buy a cheaper car or a ute which will be one less second hand FPV/HSV/XR/SS in 3 years or they will reduce their overheads in other ways, one being reducing the number of employees.

How can any of this be good for Ford enthusiasts........
