Default Cars leaving the Australian auto market in 2020

Extra competition, that enabler of good things - would bring us cheaper prices ($35K Yaris, anyone?) and make our industry more competitive on a global scale (it's gone). We have a huge amount of choices on the Aussie auto market. But some are now leaving:

I went through the list and felt nothing at all. OK, maybe a little bit for the Jazz and it's excellent packaging, but not enough to create the desire to buy one...

Hasn't been anything worth thinking about for quite a while now. The earlier Liberty's were pretty good though. Especially the turbo ones.

Then they turned them into bland, slab sided trash.

Bit of a shame for the Lexus GS-F, such a gorgeous engine.
