[MJH]

BMW sales are up 10.4% over previous years as of November, Husqvarna delivered more unit to dealers YTD actually nearly 20% more then they did in 2011.

Literality sales and delivery to dealers are not the same, HD was sued in 2008 by its dealers for accounting for delivery to dealers as sales. That change in accounting raised stock values and destroyed the value of dealers inventory which was not selling. They settled and under a gag order, I suspect they gave back profits to dealers, that had to cut prices to clear inventory.


Husqvarna is holding excess inventory over last year, rumor is they are off by as much as 12% in sales.
They will likely send that inventory to Asia and to existing BMW dealers in China?
