Australian & New Zealand June 2009 Sales Results: HiLux Just Outsells Commodore

[menace]

I still can't believe people are buying all these Thailand built Hilux's... I would atleast buy a japanese built Triton over a Hilux.

If i was going to buy a Thai built ute? I'd go for the Isuzu D Max.

One of the more interesting Top 10's I've seen, the release of the new Golf GTI has clearly sent the Golf to the dizzying heights of beating the Mazda3 and getting within sniffing distance of the Top 5.

Where's the Maixma?

I'm 99% sure that Mitsi source the Triton from Thailand as well. In fact I do believe that all major distributors of light trucks in Australia and NZ (Ford, Mazda, Mitsi, Holden Nissan and Toyota) source from Thailand
