Holden counts too much on the poor Commodore! I really hope that Australia is fast-tracked to get new small cars as soon as their available... the Commodore can't float the brand forever!
Ford sold 309 Mondeo's, so just ahead of the Epica, which was on 259 units. Volkswagen's Passat nealy outsold Mondeo, on 306 units and what I'm finding really surprising, is that the all new Mazda 6 isn't doing anywhere near as well as what the previous model was doing.

The Accord Euro outsold the 6 and the Liberty was only just ahead of Mondeo and Passat, even Jetta outdoing the Epica.

Renault's new Laguna had another good month and Hyundai's Sonata and Kia's Magentis are only just keeping intouch.
