Australia October 2014: Ford Ranger inside Top 5 for the first time, outsells Ford’s entire passenger car line-up
Ford sales down -15% and the Falcon, one of the Top 2 best-sellers in the country from 1960 to 2005, hits another all-time low of 396 units in October (-61%) and will end 2014 outside the Top 50 for the first time ever. Even the Toyota Camry (-15%) is hit.
Model-wise, the Toyota Corolla may have taken a decisive advantage in the race for the title of most popular model in Australia in 2014, outselling the Mazda3 by 891 units and lifting its YTD advantage from just 23 sales at end-September to 914 now. The Ford Ranger, Australian-engineered but Thai-built, breaks into the Australian Top 5 for the first time ever at #5 with sales up 19% to 2,405 units and outsells Ford’s entire passenger car line-up (2,062).

Kinda very very sad seeing the Falcon drop to the foot of the Aussies sales charts from always being No2 in the charts as Ford pull the plug on Falcon production next month, Ford must looking in around now to see how many Falcons they put together with odd panel and parts inventory left lying around at Fords Aussie plant, one swan song must be a Ford Australia look in every nook and cranny for those parts, the Ford Falcon built with a few left overs parts, still outsold the hapless FWD Mondeo which has gotta carry the Ford big car torch in Australia with piss poor sales of just 229.
Looks like Aussie ex Ford buyers are switching to RWD Mercedes Benz on mass sales up +40%. Good to see RHD Jeep doing well sales up +31%, LHD Cadillac 0.

Not a good month for Holden, sales down 28%, when you strip out the RWD Commodore sales Holden are gonna be sitting on 5,000 sales, with VW biting at their heels. It's gonna be just as sad to see though last few Commodores Aussie No1 built from the scraps and left over panels and bits to hobble the last few together like the Falcon. Aussie designed Ford Ranger now carries the weight of Ford Mo Co on its bed.
