Extrapolating from one retail point to another is problematic, the market is too diverse.
Did Bianchi have a dealership award program recognizing how many were sold in the past year?

Today, there is interesting production data that can be gleaned by the recall announcements where the number of units sold is often made public, I am equally surprised at the large and small numbers stated.
