I dont know if anyone else has checked out the FCAI wbsite
http://www.fcai.com.au/sales/monthly-production-volumes but a little worrying to see that only 10469 vehicles were built in australia in December 2012 (about 25% below the previous worst december in 2010) . I know most of the car makers only work 1/2 to 2/3 of the month in dec., but you would hope with those production numbers, they wont be offering 2012 sale discounts for too long. |

I think that's the reason.
Too much supply not a good look.

it`s a sign of the times i think, it does`nt matter how good our cars are , Australia is the worlds dumping ground for imports, govco encourages it, does any one see it stopping anytime soon? i can`t, heading down the creek without a paddle.

I am not surprised. The industry is on its last legs.

A) Who cares about one single month. Let’s look at whole years
B) You'll find Toyota up (maybe) & both Ford & Holden down C) We have discussed this at great length in many topics, this is NOT new news D) Why are we discussing it again?? |

b) If you helped out with "A" I won't need a maybe. Toyota is the only one with any real exports so just looking at sales data only for Toyota is unhelpful. For Ford & Holden sales data paints the approx picture of production numbers if you ask me. c) Yeah, because they is no relationship between production & sales figures!! NOT.. d) Bored at work & thought I’d go fishing!! |

December is always the worst month of the year for production due to Christmas shutdown. This is somehow news????

Not sure about GM, but I believe Ford a couple of years back moved the 4 week shutdown forward a little, to 2 weeks in Dec 2 weeks in Jan rather than the traditional work till xmas eve and return after Australia day. That gives a few less days production of 2012 plated cars that had realistically no hope of being sold in 2012, and would have to be discounted as "old stock" despite being 4 weeks old. That's not the only reason, but its a factor.
