Data comes from the company that purchases registration data from each state dept of motor vehicles and then sells it to various customers like OEMs, aftermarket, etc.... They've been doing it since 1922.

Counts are based on current vehicles-in-operation registrations. Same company also handles NHTSA recalls and their data has withstood legal scrutiny since it is used in litigation.

U.S. counts were provided, but global counts are also available from the same company.

Not clear why I would need to "lie" about this or what needs to be "proved wrong" since you haven't listed any facts, counts or back-up data. We all know what opinions are worth, particularly yours.
