DUH! Qoute:
"Mercedes Benz has predicted 2.8 million Pickups will be outside NA by 2025"
Posted by by Guess who of course!
Paltry by any common sense at best!
Both GM and Ford alone will very easily each sell over 4 million pickups using the same details by 2025 each just here in "tiny" North America with having only 1/14th of the population of the rest of the world that does not live in North America. Annual pickup sales have averaged over 500,000 a year for both GM and Ford and there's approx 8 years of sales left till the 2025 year.
Let's see? 2.8 million vehicles divided by the 13 times as many people left living outside of North America = 215,285/year in annual sales apples to apples sense both GM and Ford sell over 500,000 each annually in just that remaining 1/14th of the world's population!
Then add in the sales of the tail dragger FCA Ram sales, if they should still be in business by then which isn't very likely though, and pickup sales alone in North America alone more than dwarf Mercedes Benz sales over the same time period spread across the entire rest of the planet Earth countries population.
DUH! DUH! DUH!
