Lol, ok, you got me, yes this type of deflection is usually your strategy on these matters.
Why stop there, lets look a little further back at trends
...............Nov 2017.......Dec 2017
Hilux...........4,103............3,949 a drop of 154
Ranger........3,576............3,458 a drop of 128
Dmax..........1,699............2,053 a rise of 354
...............Nov 2018.......Dec 2018
Hilux...........4,671............3,871 a drop of 800 despite incentives
Ranger........3,469............3,365 a drop of 104 despite incentives & refresh
Dmax..........1,587............2,184 a rise of 597
So comparing the November to December swings from 2017 to 2018..
Hilux got smashed by an additional drop of 644 units but came off an extraordinary November 2018 compared to November 2017.
Ranger only fared 24 units better off despite offering generous incentives in 2018 on a new model.
Dmax increased its December 2018 gain by 243 units over its December 2017 gain on a 12 month older product.

I think Toyota's drop of 800 sales has more to do with pull ahead due to incentives in November...
Ford's drop of 104 is consequential of a new model with increased pricing, I suspect that most of
the heavily discounted MY 18 runout stock was exhausted by December which is why we now
see 2018 Plate MY19s near those same discounts, there's only a few of those as well.
