Down here in NZ there SEEM to be a lot of BYD - though the actual numbers for the country are relatively low - as high as 7% a few months ago - but typically around 2%. (I am Auckland - which might be why the bias of perception?_

Chinese manufacturers as whole - around 10 to 15 percent - month by month - US manufactures sit in the 5 to 10 percent range.
