Let's hit the f*ken road!
I remember in the 70s that you had Holden, Ford, Chrysler/Valiant/Mitsubishi, Toyota, Mazda, Datsun/Nissan, Honda and low numbers of imported niche brands.
Look at the range of brands and prices these days.
It seems like these days it is rare to see a standard new Commodore or Falcon on the road. When I was growing up they seemed to make up about 75% of all cars on the road.
I reckon Toyota in particular really beat the Australian car makers at their own game. In cars, people generally j just want a good reliable product. Toyota and probably Nissan and Honda as well seem to deliver that in spades.
