    Government and fleet buying is what makes toyota number one. Makes me wonder why they aren't investigated for having such a huge market share as there must be some kick backs going to some fleet managers?

    Private buyers of new toyotas that I talk to say they know they are paying more than what the car is worth as they are paying for the name.

    Here is a graph of Private (blue) and Non-private (i.e. fleet/govt - red) sales of Australian made cars.



    EDIT:
    Toyota is overwhelmingly the biggest supplier of non-private vehicles in Australia – 87,540 in the eight months to the end of August[2010], compared with Holden’s 51,829 and Ford’s 44,197.

    However, it is Ford that sells the greatest percentage of its volume to non-private buyers – 68 per cent, compared with Toyota’s 62 per cent and Holden’s 57 per cent.
    Not a big difference between the 3. Looks like if anyone is to be investigated though, it should be FORD???


    EDIT 2: The Australian equivalent poll so far... Only a sample size of 24, but things are looking quite different.
