I'm just saying that if US auto sales drop to 14m units from 17m units, 100k is a larger market share (fraction) of that.

Fair enough. Though I expect Mangolini will give the auto industry more breaks once they kowtow to him enough. That's what it's all about, getting people to pay up or do other "favors" for him in return for him reducing the amount of pain he's inflicting on them -- "nice business you have there, be a shame if anything happened to it".
