Luxury - genuine leather

These days the line has blurred somewhat from what was once called "a luxury car", once upon a time of your car had electric windows and air con and power steering, you where in 7th heaven, these days even poverty packs more gear in them, and your hi performance jag luxury salon probably did 0 to 100 kph in 8 seconds hurly burly what a goer !
These days the family hack camry is probably faster and has twice the kit in it.
For Harry suburban the family hack has more than enough gear to satisfy.

This is a Random comment.. but since you posted, name a Chinese car sold here in Australia, I can think of a couple but there certainly isn't a lot of them.

or by Chinese do you mean somewhere in Asia..

Yes i should rephrase that and say asian cars.Majority of the market is asian, yes i know times have changed but i believe thats why american car makers are having problems aswell its because of the infux of imported cars.
But also mik has a pretty much hit the nail on the head aswell, there are plenty of factors in play. I do find if sad how aussies have to miss out on luxury american cars because theres no market here.
