Thanks to Autoblog Español and David I can now share with you the sales figures for absolutely all models sold in Australia over the first 9 months of 2012! You can see the September 2012 updated Top 30 models ranking here. As a reminder new vehicle sales in Australia are up 9% year-on-year over the period to 822,674 units, on track to beat the all-time Full Year sales record set in 2007. Outside the familiar Top 10 and the usual suspects (Mazda3, Toyota Hilux and Corolla), notice the Toyota Prado up from #28 in 2011 to #12 with 13,239 sales and 1.6%, the Nissan X-Trail up 7 spots to #15 and the Mazda CX-5 landing directly at #18 with 11,528 units and 1.4%.

While the Holden Commodore is still Holden’s best-seller for now at #4, albeit only 335 sales above the Cruze, Ford’s top sellers are totally reshuffled this year: the Ford Falcon, the brand’s best-seller here for 50 consecutive years, ranks #21 year-to-date and is passed by the Focus at #14 (+5), the Ranger at #16 (-1) and the Territory at #19 (-3).
