Winter sales suck in the northern section.
The used market will continue to grow and suck up sales.
All models but especially the 86 were delayed well beyond their "normal" delivery dates.

On the upside if we can believe the commercial that was posted we know for the first time how many they actually plan to make. I have sounded like a broken record with my "sales numbers mean nothing when we don't know how many were built" rants. The commercial states there will be "8,600" built. Now we can watch and see how many of those 8,600 get sold and have a true picture of how sales are going. If they sell all of them that they made then sales are just fine no matter if it is a reduced number from previous years. If they sell 1,500 of them then the car is doomed.
