Am i the only one not to see a BA?

I have been driving around a lot everyday here in Sydney and I am yet to see ANY .... thats right not a single one BA of any type.

And before you say it , yes I pay a lot of attention to these things when I am driving.

Whats going on?? Any figures on Sydney sales and delivery? Cause if this is the revolution then the launch aint real impressive.

Well I've only seen 3 here in Sydney. In fact 2 of those were yesterday. One was an blueprint XR6 (probably N/A), the 2 yesterday were I think both Fairmonts. One was silver and one was a dark navy blue sort of colour.

I guess it's just matter of waiting until more people buy them and then they will become visible.

Conversely, I've only seen one VY in the flesh: a white Executive. Saw it before I saw any BAs though.

You just need to be in the right place at the right time... =)

I'm in Sydney as well... and I have seen quite a few BAs...

including NA XR6 - white.. some company car with company adverts...

3-4 XTs

1 Fairmont before the release of the BAs...

The count for VY:

1 SV8 today...
1 SS a while ago...
1 Clubby the day it was released...
1 Exec...

So these new Commodores and Falcons are running about... just need to be in the right place at the right time...

And seen a stack load of Camrys... although no one would care about them anyway...

I live in Launie in Tasmania and havent seen a VY or BA up until today then until went on a trip across town and say 2 Ba's & 2 vy's the BA's put the AU 1 Forte's to shame, but still i thought it would look bigger and I love that blue perl colour. VY looks ok from front but back well, the lights could have been bigger and minus boot lip would have been good

You guys need to take a trip down here to Sleepy Hollow..

I've seen BA's on the road literally almost everyday for the last couple of weeks.
Saw a nice black XR6T today..

I am annoyed aswell. I am still to see a BA on the road here in adelaide, while I have seen many VY's (all executives I think). Atleast ten of them.

Oh well, I will keep looking.
