Wow, Holden ute got raped this month.

Is Fiesta/Focus sales limited by Euro supply, or it just not being pushed hard enough?

Excellent work, Russ.

March saw an excellent result for the Commodore up nearly 1,200 units (to 7,052) on the previous month but still slightly behind March 2004. The Falcon was also up but only 400 units to 5,026 which is almost 1,200 behind the 2004 result.On a YTD basis the Falcon trails Commodore by just under 4,000 sales although both have reduced their overall market share with the red corner trailing their 2004 YTD by almost 2,000 and the blue corner by over 3,000 for a drop of 13%

Falcon almost 1200 behind 2004 result is very telling. Territory is not exactly doing Falcon any favours.

Their sales aren't limited because of supply issues, they're just not selling.
The next Focus evolution will be heavily exposed to the public this time around.

Lets hope so. Saw one on the road last week. They look much better on the road than in pictures.

Russ, it appears you have analysed the results over the course of the year... whereas I was comparing the results of the month's (March) sales between consecutive years, 2004 and 2005. Looking at it that way, tt does give a slightly different complexion...
