Yes but is there 175k every year such as the article implies? I'm skeptical.

I can believe there is going to be 100k in sales but that isn't a market dominating product. I could even see it hitting 200k that first year due to pent up demand but it won't sustain it.

I don't know. I wrote up a longer comment; but, when I was typing it up, I realized that I don't know, I don't even have the beginning of an idea.

I think the BMW 3-series will hold it's buyers pretty well, though. There's just something, especially in the tech community, about owning a BMW 3-series. They might as well be the Toyota Corolla of some parking lots I've seen.

That is all I was trying to say really. The article doesn't know either and you can't extrapolate markets like that.
