Exactly! Sales numbers for one make and model do not show a thing.
In fact sales numbers alone are almost meaningless unless we know what the business plan said they wanted to make and how many they actually did. If they planned to, and actually made, 8,000 86s and sold 6,846 that is a success. If they planned to, and actually made, 20,000 86s and sold 6,846 that is a horrible failure. Unless somebody is privy to the plan and the actual units made the sales are not a good indicator of success.


Let's play the sales numbers game for last month just for laughs though.
Looks to me that if we base the future of each model on sales numbers then the Miata should be gone soon and BMW might as well just pack in most of their models.
