Even the piece of crap Korean made Holden Barina with a horrible crash test rating of only 2 out of 5 sold 1074 in October.
Most small car buyers must be idiots based on the sales figures.

Its pretty simple in regards to the Yaris. 80 - 85% of it is fleet.
So lets see... 2858 - 80% = 572. Same goes for Corolla, Camry, Falcon, Commodore.
Toyota actually isn't such a big selling car manufacturer in terms of private buyers. Its vast majority of sales belong to fleets. Eliminate them and the amount of normal people who actually buy them with their own money is quite low.
Ford has alot of this too, but not with cars like Fiesta & Focus.
