I don't want to be that
What you have to decide is what is fact. When their bean counters spin it one way it makes their cars look better. When GM ,Ford or whoever's bean counter mod the numbers in their favor then, well their car looks better. It's just like Ford claiming that they have the number one selling truck 20+ years and counting. They forget to tell you that if you combine GMC with Chevy they don't. (at least not every year)
