1. Mazda3
2. Toyota Corolla
3. Holden Commodore
4. Holden Cruze
5. Hyundai i30
6. Toyota Camry
7. Toyota Yaris
8. Ford Focus
9. Mazda2
10. Volkswagen Golf

Not a Falcon to be seen.
So the Commodore came in at number 3 and the similarly sized and featured Falcon is nowhere in that list which begs the question what are Holden doing differently.

I find that Ford Ecoboost ad on TV annoying in that it goes on about the virtues of Ecoboost then shows a Focus at the end when it should show a Falcon or at the very least they should have a different version of the ad for each Ecoboost car in the range and rotate their airplay.

The average Australian would be completely unaware that there is a 4 cyl Falcon that sips fuel and rides/handles better than it's heavier 6 Cyl stablemates as well as having more torque than a 3 litre Commodore.
