You claimed special "cars" for your market.
Now, you're showing the entire market.
Logically fallacy.
Distill all of the Honda Accords, Toyota Camrys/Crowns/Corollas out of those numbers ...
then get back to me with the "special vehicles to chase this market you call 'minor'?"
then we can discuss like adults

I am actually not insulted, but I don't see facts to indicate the US is a minor market. The facts I see I would interpret the opposite way.
The US is different in many ways, some I like, some I don't. I actually wish the US market would embrace dynamo lighting and more efficient/practical cars (its better then it was but has a long way to go). I don't know why your jumping on my one statement. I was simply pointing out that the US market is significant enough that auto manufactures make a lot of vehicles specific for the US market. If it was a minor market there would be less cars tailored specifically for it. Clearly there are big numbers so manufactures want to be in the US market.
I thought I was discussing like an adult. I am questioning a statement you made, which really wasn't even relevant to bike lighting, not a judge of character like you did, assuming I was insulted by your statement.
