"It took 14 years for VW to sell 1,000,000 cars in america, the millionth being sold in early 1963. 2,000,000 cars had been sold by late 1965, less than 2 years later."
Shouldn't that read "less than three years later"?

Last time someone pointed out an error in the facts, JB said that the man who runs this site always finds a way out of blame. This means he's NEVER wrong. Let's see how this newest error is handled

Maybe it's 2 model years?
Fixed anyway.
I blame myself for not training Jen properly.
