"Isuzu Ute" is the brand covering D-Max & MU-X etc. The D-Max on its own sold 2789 units for March.

I believe they use the Isuzu Ute name to differentiate them from Isuzu Trucks.

Not so much who they are but why are those clowns up so much

Isuzu Ute and Isuzu trucks are two separate corporate entities, Isuzu Ute is their clown show brigade

There was an article saying the books are now closed for S550. And with the delay to S650 till 2024, there might be a dry spell for Mustang.

Also now limited competition, everyone is withdrawing handing the market to MG, so their prices are always going up and they have less and less competitors.

If you want a small car like a hatch, you don't really have choice.

Pretty sure Europe isn't sending any here for the time being. Can't remember why though. They have orders here they can't fill because of it.


Very close at the top with just 75 cars separating the big 2. Don't recall seeing it that close for a long time. And not a single sedan in the top 10. SUV's and commercial vehicles have complete control of the market.

oh no dout re MG's, I said it before, they are the modern day entry like Hyundai 1st gen Excels were hitting the market.
Was talking to a guy who worked for one of the dealers in Gosford day before yesterday, a girl bought her first new car and obviously its the MG, even before she could take delivery the motor was "cooked" broken, they we're struggling to find a replacement car to satisfy the dilemma. Unreal.

Surprised not to see the Haval H6 in the top 25 yet. Around here, they're everywhere.

A mates wife (who has champagne taste on beer budget) recently bought a black H6 GT, debadged it and proceeded to tell us, with a straight face, that it looks just like a Lambo Urus. Yeah, in your dreams....

As for this the results... I agree with the comment above with the quarters results.. It will give us more of a picture of what's selling.

10 years ago I had a work colleague tell me her Hyundai Tiburon was often mistaken for a Ferrari!
