"Sales of all Merc passenger cars were up 21 per cent to 8126. Sales of all Ford passenger cars were down 41 per cent to 7022. The three-pointed star is leaving the blue oval in the dust."

That's because Australia is having a love affair with SUV's. Would've been nice if the article expanded on their definition of "Passenger Cars". Mercedes did make 10th spot overall in April though which is impressive none the less in this market.

Top 10 brands in April 2015:
Toyota – 15,299
Mazda – 8068
Hyundai – 7210
Holden – 7072
Ford – 5163
Volkswagen – 4572
Nissan – 4188
Mitsubishi – 4077
Subaru – 3052
Mercedes-Benz – 2654


Top 10 brands in 2015:
Toyota – 64,285
Mazda – 36,348
Holden – 31,853
Hyundai – 30,823
Ford – 21,565
Nissan – 21,847
Mitsubishi – 20,706
Volkswagen – 19,383
Subaru – 13,381
Honda – 12,205
