I had actually preconceived that this would be the next question, if it came up.

I want to turn you around on your ear on that. Four of the seven bestsellers in Canada are built in Canada. The Civic has been first for 10 years, and the Corolla is number two. The Sierra kicks in once in a while from Oshawa, and the Caravan manages to kick in around seven. The top 10 sellers in Canada sell at a rate of five to ten times that of all other models.

So you have 80 or 90 other models that are selling 4,000 or 8,000 or 10,000 units, and you have the Civic selling 100,000 and the Sierra selling 40,000 or 50,000.
