Really!
You hit the nail on the head there Crisis, probably 90% of the population dont give a rats about performance, handling etc. Most of the population are interested in the price and packaging and reliability etc. Probably why the Corolla outsells the Focus which by all accounts is a much better drive than the Rolla.

My brothers mate who flogs Toyotas for a living was telling him the amount of foot traffic that comes in looking for a test drive of the V6 Camry is staggering. When he informs them that the Aurion wont be released for a few months they are saying they will be back then. Most of them dont even test drive the 4cylinder version. Will be interesting to see how they sell.
