All well and good until the tapped out buyers stop buying. And the 3 mainly sold to private buyers, too. So no fleet purchases backstopping sales.

Much as i like the pending cx30, sales may be weak because it will appeal to private buyers, who have too much debt to service as it is, the current housing dead cat bounce not withstanding.
