I suspect that the dealers may be considered Toyota/Subaru's customers and these numbers may be based on units delivered to them.
Can't use the release month since they were going to have 86 sold even if the real number was 2 or 1000. There was one person here that said theirs was pushed into a June sales date (even though bought in May) because there were already too many on the sold books. I have a hard time believing there were less than 86 sold across the U.S. On the month of release.

I didn't make up that the numbers are dealer sales.
