Do you think this is due to your postings here, john? And are you aware that those sales figures for January are actually *better* than most manufacturers?

Are you still too embarrassed to tell us what you drive, john?

Yes, the "what does John drive" saga continues....

Well, at least they sold enough to be worth reporting. I can think of several manufacturers who this does not apply.
