They need to. I've had my CX-50 almost 3 months and have not seen a single one of mine on the road, over 3000 miles driven.

I drive about 500-800 miles a week and have only seen one in the wild so far.

Just saw this weekend 2 other CX-50's out in the wild here in SFL.

They've only sold about 3,200 through May so it's not surprising that you would not have seen one on the road. It's a new plant producing a new model--they would want to work out bugs and optimize the the manufacturing process before producing in quantity. Most manufacturers would operate in this way. Even new models in existing plants follow this path.
