Australian September 2009 Sales Results

Official VFACTS data released by the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries (FCAI) shows that 78,131 passenger cars, SUVs and commercial vehicles were sold in September 2009.

“This was a good month with a stronger than expected result,” FCAI Chief Executive Andrew McKellar said.

This September result is down 3.5 per cent (2,807 vehicles) compared to September last year but there were increases in some segments;

SUV Luxury – up 30.9 per cent
Sports Cars – up 17.1 per cent
SUV Compact – up 5.0 per cent
Light commercial vans – up 4.9 per cent
Light passenger cars – up 3.0 per cent
4x4 Utes – up 1.5 per cent
Medium passenger cars – up 1.2 per cent
“The September figure demonstrates signs of consolidation in the new vehicle market,” Mr McKellar said.

“Some areas of buyer confidence remain fragile and an interest rate rise is premature,” he said.

“Economic stimulus has resulted in positive business sales but private buyers need the confidence to return to showrooms in larger numbers,” Mr McKellar said.

Year-to-date 681,974 new vehicles have been sold, down 13.1 per cent compared to the same period last year.

Toyota remains in the top sales position for September with 16,007 vehicle sales, ahead of Holden with 9,744 and Ford with 8,427.

Trust me. From the guy that lives there, they're ALL in Box Hill. And they're ALL grey/silver/white/light blue.

I'm loving that the Holden Colorado is outselling the Ford Ranger. The new Ranger is balls-up-ugly, and I hope more people move away from it

[mastadd]

How many cars did Saab sell?

[EQUIPED]

Trust me. From the guy that lives there, they're ALL in Box Hill. And they're ALL grey/silver/white/light blue.

yeah the original rangers at the best, although i dont like the shape of the colorado as much as when the rodeo was the isuzu d-max shape

[Morton]

Haha we got one of the new rangers at work. Damn dashboard is RED. You can NOT see any of the dash stuff at night time. You glance down, and it takes a second or two for your eyes to adjust before you can read your speed

What a bad idea.

[S.O.S]
