Yeah, 95% of the world are foreigners...
and the U.S. and EU-28 is half the world market. (based on new car registrations)
So that is like what over 30% of new car sales are U.S. (China and all others make the second half, China alone is higher than the U.S. by about 1/4th)
So much for these 95% foreigners. Oz is not even in the top seven markets.
I posted some interesting engine trends...WITHOUT commentary, and immediately got parochial commentary from one of the more ignorant BITOGers...to which I commented that most of the world ARE foreigners.
Not sure that I follow whether you consider the EU to be the US, or how exactly they factor into your argument...or whether you agree with KingCake that BITOG is for Americans...or where you got any impression that I was mentioning Oz, or the size of Oz's car market.
So anyway, using your own stats...

Well KingCake, 70% of cars containing engine (i.e. the majority) ARE SOLD TO FOREIGNERs...
Thank Vern for the clarification.
