I guess the Camry figures include the Aurion.

It’s nice to see a quick performance car come in at number 7 in the top ten model sales.

No, they wouldn't include the Aurion. But the Aurion only sells a couple hundred a month anyhow, so no great loss to the Camry figures anyhow.

Sad.

We’re now become a nation where such boring cars are our main priority.

I would love to see the model by model sales of Mercedes cars - they must include commercial vans in their sales as passenger cars don't seem to add to 3000 sales a month.

Add Aurion to camry and it comes in at 5. If ford can combine 4/6/8 Falcon and holden 6/8 Commdore, 4/6 camry/Aurion can be combined.

Thats 3 Toyotas in the top 5. Looks like Toyota is Australias own now.

Falcon at 600+ means they are selling all they can build.

I think you would be suprised. I see new A class Mercs everywhere I turn. And don't forget Merc have so many different models, engine combos across so many classes.

Seeing cars around is very subjective and not very precise way of judging car sales ,yet many people do it :-) .
A class sold 245 , c class 853 , CLA 439 ,E Class 163 , CLS 60 ,S class 33 ,gla 261 , M/GL 286 , V class 68 - adds up to 2408 - rest would surely be small numbers , just could not see 3000 sales . One would think published numbers are correct but I am sceptic by nature .

I know what you mean ...but in my daily routine of drop the kids at school, drive to office and then home again, I see more McLarens, Teslas etc than new Falcons ...and not just because the Exotics stand out.

Default Re: Car Sales July 2015

A question for those in the know:

When does a car sale hit these stats? ie with the Falcon XR8s, there is potentially a long delivery time between the dealer getting his allocation, a customer signing the contract of sale, and the car being delivered.

So, when does the "sale" of an XR8 (for eg) hit these stats? Is it the placing of the order by the dealer, the signing of a car sale contract. or the delivery of the car? My guess would be the signing of the contract of sale, but that would not necessarily be an accurate indication as to what actually got delivered to the customer!
