And like I said ... The AU critics will be out in force as usual of course. So be it. Just how it is. A cross us AU owners must bear .
Our little town has 800 or so people .. I know of at least 8-9 local AU's still driven daily here . Honestly can't recall a single Camry of similar vintage here and I'm not kidding .
Based on those figures I was surprised that so many FG's given that the older ones are 11 or so years old and not too many built in reality are registered . That's pretty good too . Got one of them also .
Appreciate the purpose of this thread , it's interesting and worthwhile but there are also a few variables to consider given this is based on sedans only . A big component of Falcons , not least the AU was the station wagon and commercial utilities and sports utes such as the XR6 and XR8 . Same could be said for Camry station wagons too I suppose and Commodores etc. Don't know if the numbers would change a lot if ALL variants were included ..
