Mate, thats not what I'm saying......
There is a market for a car the size of a Falcon or Commodore but with the fuel efficiency of a diesel - ie the TDCi Mondeo. Its not the fuel efficiency alone that will sell it to many people - its the fact that the Mondeo is a BIG CAR. Not a Golf size car - the fact that the Golf gets 2l/100km or whatever better fuel efficiency is irrelevant, its too small for many peoples needs.
When I was choosing a car, a Golf/Passat or Peugeot size car was not anywhere on my list. Understand that to many people fuel efficiency is not the only thing that goes into the decision making when buying a car. The fact that the TDCi does so well economically is a nice bonus, but not the sole reason for buying it.
