Why is the Pill so disconnected with reality?

It doesn't take a mathematician to be able to tell that the pony car market is currently larger then it was in 2005, back then with only the Msutang it was something like 160,000 units a year and we are well above that point as we are already at 157,000 units and we have 2 months left in this year. I expect that in the next two months we will add about 30,000+ units to this total for an est. of 190,000 units. This makes the pony car market some 30,000 units larger then it was in 2005 and not to mention that the total auto market was larger then. So the market share that the pony car segment makes up is much bigger then it was in 2005. I do not know why the pill expects the pony car segment to be twice as large now then it was in 2005 when the total market volume is down by 1/3 compared to 2005 and with that in mind the total pony car market should actually be at 107,000 units so its going to be this year almost double what it should be. This also is only based on the traditional 3 not including the Hyundai Genesis coupe which is a competitor in this market segment, if you include its total volume year to date and you really blow the 2005 numbers out of the water.

So I can not figure out what it is that the pill is getting on about, I don't even think that he knows what he is going on at.

It just seems that he is bitter because the Mustang isn't the sales leader in this market segment, so instead of just admitting it he just rather make stuff up out of thin air.
