Aussies like their big 6 rwd cars, almost as much as they like their big v8 rwd cars. My dad went to a subi liberty, loves it everything other than its got a 4cyl in it. He would go the 6cyl any day. Other than the price. In which case the commo was better. Ditto with the camarys, I dont know anyone who likes the 4cyl version, V6 they are happy with, yet many complain about the fwd.
And in to someones comment about they all look the same...
Accord euro, Subaru Liberty, Hyundai Sonarta, Mazda 6 also looks rather simliar just a tad more rounded. All good cars (yes even the sonarta, makes more power than the VE commo from memory with a smaller engine)
