Because that was the planned mix. Simple as that. You do not change manufacturing plans with the flip of a switch it can take years. Why do you think they keep building cars that don't sell at all? Hell they were building Aztecs and pretty much scrapping them at the end of the assembly line because the plan said they were going to build them for 3 years.
