So there must be some flexibility in the production ratios - or else there are fleets of FRSs sitting in dealer lots with lots of money on the hood ATM. It doesn't seem reasonable to assume that the rest of the world has undergone a reverse sales ratio trend that is taking up the unneeded FRS production.
They are selling at different ratios because they are now made at different ratios. That is part of what was meant when we said the numbers are planned ahead. Like you yourself said there are not huge stockpiles of FRSs sitting someplace so the build numbers were planned against anticipated sales.
