Ok, but are these the same numbers issued in the press releases? That is what I'm getting at. Every car dealer sends back a number of how many retail sales they made, including the ones in the U.S. However the retail numbers are usually used internally in order to determine shipments, not draft press releases.

In the U.S. that is all it is, dealer shipments/allocations. They're saying that other markets are different. M |

If all it takes is dealer allocations for a car to be 'sold out', won't all cars be sold out all the time? Cause I am pretty sure manufacturers are not stocking cars. |

 "In its first year of production, BMW will produce 40,000 units of the new X6 Sports Activity Model with half of those heading for the U.S. Dealerships and according to BMW AG chief executive officer, Mr. Norbert Reithofer, it has already sold out. There are still reportedly some dealership that have a few models left although there are some that are reporting they have a waiting list. There were a large number of doubters about the X6 when it was first launched stating the interior space was too small for an SUV and driving performance could not be strong enough for this model to be labelled as a coupe, but it seems that BMW have had the last laugh. The X6 opened up a new niche in the automotive market which will surely be entered by other premium manufacturers over the next few years. The success of the new model is likely to spur the German manufacturer into action to create yet another SUV in the form of the X4. Whereas the X6 is based on the X5 platform, the X4 would be based on the X3 thereby creating a smaller version of the SAV." - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER |
