Kind of sad situation. Interesting article. Mentions that fragmentation of the Australian market is an issue. Quite true, that is, IMO...also becoming a factor in North America.
Two bankruptcies, decreasing market share(45% overall in the US, California about 28%} for GM, Ford and Chrysler products suggest things are almost as bad in the US. Although the FTA makes it impossible for a run of the mill European or Asian manufacturer to sell in the US, unless they build there. Fragmentation of the market will increase, although you never going to get the plethora of vehicles available here.
In respect to the thread. F150's and US Pickups are rare in Australia. What I saw yesterday was slightly unbelievable. TWO 70+ plus
