Moderator note: The thread is shipping, and posts on production volumes and associated speculation, even if approaching facts, aren't actually about shipping. While a car needs to be produced to be shipped, given China is serving it's domestic market, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and a host of other markets, production news does not necessarily translate to shipping news.
The thread gets busy enough to start diverting the topic into other topics. Posts will be removed or moved if they stray too far from the topic, or risk doing so. If people want a production topic, then each model has its own production subtopic that is not country specific which might be a better place to discuss, or if needs must, start a dedicated thread.
It's been said many times on this thread: please keep out the clutter.
This is for the good of the thousands of people who visit this thread and want shipping news so please be respectful of them.
