Holden commodore is gone so is Ford falcon. So in essance Holden vs Ford is a thing of past. MG arrived in Australia in 2013 not 2010 but they only started sales from 2016 onwards. That too with a snall car like MG6. Since then they have grown. I live in heart of sydney near Olympic park & I know what I'm talking about. I can't cure your biase but but numbers are there for everyone.
I know KIA was considered poor mans car in early 2000 but now they have the better looking cars & impressive range. One has to start from somewhere & Chinease have certainly arrived. It's matter of time before they consolidate.
Ford v Holden is a lot more than Commodore vs Falcon. And even if they don't make Commodore and Falcon anymore, that does not mean the fan of Ford v Holden does not exist anymore. Have you ever wonder why a lot of Aussie buy XB Falcon and VT Commodore?
And lol, MG start selling in Australia since 2010, not 2013, you know why I know? I bought a MG in 2010 when they come out from bankruptcy, only to be told it was now a Chinese car, that's why I know MG is Chinese. And I live in Blacktown and Granville before, both suburbs have MG dealer, and I know what I am talking about.
As for whether Chinese car can outsold Japanese in Australia, I don't think they can do it, even if they can, it would have to be in a very long run. Japanese car are well known in Australia, that's the go to car for many people, it will take a whole new generation of people to have this change, and even then the change may not be that much. Plus, there are stigma about Chinese being lack of Quality, I mean, I tried out some Chinese car before, and also Japanese car, as I am actually actively searching for my next car, all I can say is, Chinese car quality were no where near the Japanese as of now, call me biased, call me damning, that does not change my feeling, and most other Australian feeling. I mean, if you ask any Australian on the street as for whether or not they are going to consider a Chinese, you probably know what they are going to say.
Still trying? Here you go again, this is an artical from
2021.
You can read Chinese.

Oh my god, you are still talking about this.
Again, BETWEEN June 2021 to September 2022. Even in your own article, it mention the deliver window to extend from 1 to 3 weeks to 6 to 8 weeks, not that many people are willing to wait 8 weeks for a car you know? And that indicate Delivery problem.
And Again,
THIS IS A MOOT POINT, because you are expecting what happened to BYD in China to happen to BYD in Australia. It doesn't matter how or when Model 3 deliver, this is different set of market requirement.
