I didn't dismiss your comment Tripp I never saw it. You probably posted it while I was writing up my post that followed.
The data I was speaking about not being privy to was the difference in emissions between the AT and MTs.
The ATs do sell though correct? They may sit longer but that doesn't mean they are not selling. From a production standpoint they wouldn't be adding models but simply upgrading what exists so sales numbers should have no impact on what upgrades are done to what version. Maybe I misunderstand what you meant?
