^ This.

You only need to look at the sales figures each month to see a trend.
The market is heading to "smaller" more efficient cars and more practical SUVs.
I'd rather one or a four seater ute than a sedan. Much more practical for me.

Territory sales reflect this but obviously the market is brimming with a good selection of cars.
