Numbers don't mean squat, and an autoscribe shouldn't think so. A car is better than another car based on tangible merit.
Yugos are still made in very limited numbers. Does that make them more desirable than our cars?
Conversely, if Ferrari were to pump up production to 300k units a year, keep the passion and quality just as it is today, would it become a poseur or badge whore car? Why can't it stand on the merit of what it is, and not what some oblivious wank with a pen thinks it is, solely based on a single sales number?
