Default Ford AU website now putting SUVs before cars?

I noticed today that something changed on the Ford AU website.

Previously, at the top, it would list: cars, SUVs, commercial. Now, it lists: SUVs, cars. Commercial is no longer a separate category but included in the 'all vehicles' list.

It seems like a very unusual move. Every single other car maker lists cars before SUVs/trucks (including Ford's US site).

Its simple, you put what the market wants out the front first. No point hiding it in the back.
