Then assume that a factor of 80% may be defined as a majority, they'd lose 720 diesel sales in every 900, i.e. 80% of diesel sales = 38% of total sales. But, as I speculated earlier, I'm sure Jeep is basing their strategy on their enormously larger domestic market where petrol has always is been king, and if you tow you buy a truck.
Yeah no doubt, looking bigger picture, the needs/wants of the Aus market are really not a huge consideration. Lost sales will be offset by possible newfound appeal in a different market segment, but it'll be interesting to see how it all plays out. Particularly in relation to the the two-row, which is ultimately the 'true' successor.
