So, big and heavy then.

If you say so. I think the BMW 3 series is still considered a benchmark for small sports sedans, but perhaps your tastes run to this?

Fugly as sin, You guys in the USA have a different idea of small to us in the Antipodes, I drive a 2006 Mazda 3 and I consider it too large for my needs most of the time, but the ingress of unwieldy SUVs forced upon us by the trends over there in your PART of the world (limited saloons available in the real world) has reduced what we would like to choose from by a significant amount.
 
I know what you mean. Still, when we were in Europe last year we saw many cars not available in the US, and quite desirable ones IMO. Almost no pickups at all, and the ones we did see were “compact” ones (at least as so designated in the US). Lots of vans of all sizes, many more than what we see in the US. So I’m not quite sure I buy your argument about influence of the US on what is available to you, unless your country’s trade and other policies make it so.
 
I guess in your part of the world an ideal vehicle would hop, the backseat would turn into a bar-b and be finished off in croc skin........lol.
 
Nice vehicles gentlemen! The wheels on Rob's ride remind me of the VW GTI days during the early 1980s.... looks a little retro and I like it!
 
Great car! I have considered one before I settled on the Cayenne. Love the wheel choice.
 
I have driven the Macan when my Cayenne was in for service. It felt much smaller and lighter and if you didn't pay attention to what is behind the front seats you would think you are driving a sports sedan.

I will probably stick with another Cayenne next year as the Macan cabin feels a bit tight.
 
Ford and GM (2 of the 4 highest sellers) have fulled out of Australia leaving little input to the choice of vehicle we can obtain. Ford have/are reducing the number of small cars available and concentrating on Utes(pick up) and SUVs.
One of the highest selling cars here, Holden Commodore is now imported from the states I don't know what it would be there, it is a Chevy as far as I can make out. Problem being as it is now imported it will attract import tax and no longer receive government subsidies, pricing it above those people it used to be aimed at.

Sorry to go Off Topic, I'll get my coat.

At least we still make good HiFi.
