In this case I'm sure Inferno may have been thinking that this answer may be one of them that fell into that category-not "about 50,000 registrations", but 50,232 to be exact. I believed your data because out of 77,000 then a loss of about 20K since inception seemed reasonable, and I know there are lots of data sources out there. Somebody somewhere wants to know how many whatevers are out there so they can decide if they want to provide parts or add-ons for whatever. Marketers always want the data. Thanks again for the answer
A loss of 20K or roughly 25% of the cars over the last 5-6 years seems reasonable to you???

He said that the 50,232 are registered in the US, I am certainly hoping the other 20K are in Europe or elsewhere (I have even seen some 'down under'). I am hoping only a few thousand have been lost, maybe wishful thinking. However I believe 25% over half a decade to be ridiculous.

Just my $0.02
