There was more to it.
Fleets stopped purchasing local vehicles, Governments no longer had a requirement to purchase local vehicles, companies stopped buying cars for their employees and instead they leased them themselves (which gave them a greater choice of Camry, Magna, Falcon or Commodore) greater competition from overseas with reduced tarrifs.
Could go on and on
