    All quiet when sales are up... can't whine about the new models :)

    So worldwide sales have been consistently good month after month -- so good in fact that it more than makes up for the decline in the US. What makes the US market so different from everywhere else?

    We have taste and do not buy ugly cars that have so many recalls.

    Not ugly and inexpensive but premium priced and ugly with seemingly lots of nagging repair problems.

    Well....all the extra cars they can't deliver to US customers have to go somewhere!! Production is kinda inflexible.....so they ship them to other markets.....I bet other places where they have been lacking supply for years, customers are thrilled they can get a car fast!!
    My question is, what happens when that pent up demand is taken care of????
    Do they keep selling them by the boatload (Litterly) or we see demand slack world-wide and we see it happens to be the wrong car at the wrong time, or do they keep selling, and we see it was just the wrong cars and advertising campaign for the US?
