No. Your figures were correct. Sorry! The figures I had in mind were for Q1 2009.

As these numbers do not include many large fleets and government leads, as these fleet managers tend to contact the car-makers directly, it is a good guide to what private consumers want to buy or are at least considering.

Not surprisingly, Mazda3 leads this race, as it has always been a strong in private sales, but it is not far ahead of the Falcon – a good result considering sales of the big Ford traditionally have been heavily skewed towards fleets.

The DataMotive information ties in with the FG Falcon’s model mix which indicates increasing numbers of private sales with more emphasis on premium G-Series and XR sales and fewer sales of the XT fleet special.

Toyota’s HiLux and Holden’s Commodore are a fair way back in third and fourth when it comes to the share of leads so far this year.

Hi VZTRT. Another good find. So, it's not just an increasing percentage of private buyers, but an increase in numbers and at higher specifications!

I wonder what the split would be if the XT was an XT 2DiT standard, and the cheapest way to the I6 was the XR6 ?

The Split where they said 3% of production were XT's was wrong, what they meant by that was that 3% of XT's produced were going to private buyers, 50% of XR's to Private buyers and the 40% or whatever of G6's were to private buyers. The actual cars made split is not this but the numbers we see above which is pretty much a third third third.

In other words 97% of XT's made are to Govt and Fleet, 50% of XRs made are to G and F etc.

No. BossXR8 had the right figures in this link.

Up until the end of the 1st quarter this year, the total split for FG sales has been around 4.5% XT, 45% G series and around 50% XR. Since the fleets have got on board over the last month those figures will have probably gone more towards the XT but overall total FG sales would still be similar to the above numbers.

BFII sales were 52% XT, approx 20% Futura/Fairmont/Ghia and around 30% XR.

Official figures.

So, it has now moved to approximately 33% for each series (XT, XR & G). Which means that the O.P. Archilino was right (I was wrong, by a month!).
