The VE Holden Commodore is still selling well

Vehicle sales went over 1,000,000 for the first time. Toyota was now well entrenched at the top, with GM Holden and Ford looking over their shoulders at fast improving Mazda and Hyundai. The latter two increased sales while the former two lost out quite heavily. The decline in 2009 wasn't as bad as some places.

VW nearly doubled it's sales and broke into the Top 10 while the German premium three held 13th to -15th. Audi was making a concerted effort to catch the other two. Honda was one Asian brand that struggled and Daihatsu pulled out altogether. However the market was still heavily favouring Asian brands.
