I see you fail at logic.
The vast majority of vehicles were trucks and SUV's. Go figure, domestics occupied the highest percentage in this segment.
When they were traded in for CFC, the options on what you could trade in ON were quite limited. And definitely not tipped in favour of vehicles produced by the domestics.
Go figure, the segment of what has traditionally been held by the Imports; ECONOMY CARS, were what these vehicles were traded in on.
So, lets try on the logic hat.
SUV/Trucks from the 80's and 90's. Vast majority are going to be domestic.
New vehicle, most were economy cars.... A segment held traditionally by the Imports. Go figure, they got the vast majority of the CFC sales.
These are some pretty basic concepts to grasp here.... If it wasn't for the jade and zeal, I'd have some hope of you and troll-zappa understanding them. But whilst he's a hopeless headcase, I imagine there might be some logic left in you!
