The simple fact is, the manufacturers probably have the best insight into how sales v production are travelling.
The last five production months, the aussie manufacturers have produced 85798 vehicles, for the corresponding months of Sept 2008 to Jan 2009 (start of the GFC) the aussie producers made 99908 vehicles. They have made approx 15% less cars than they did at the depths of the GFC.
85798 equates to an annual production of approx 205,000. These are the numbers that Holden were making alone in 2004, whilst employing only 4000 people and still making losses (and selling cars at higher average prices than cars are being sold at now) . Now we have Toyota with 3000 employees, and Holden and Ford with over 2500 each.
Trust me, expect to see some suppliers getting into some great difficulty in next few months

ha ha roughly just after crissy is january, you know nothing much open till after new year..
ppl dont have that much cash after the holidays, hence why i said it could be the reason it's a slow month in sales..
