SUPPLY vs DEMAND MISMATCH
  Toyota:  12.1% of SUV sales vs 8.5% of active supply
           → UNDER-SUPPLIED: demand outpacing channel stock
  Honda:    6.9% of SUV sales vs 7.0% of active supply
           → BALANCED: supply and demand in equilibrium
  Hyundai:  8.3% of SUV sales vs 16.2% of active supply
           → OVER-SUPPLIED: heavy stock relative to sales pace

KEY INSIGHT FOR ALLOCATION:
  Toyota's SUV pull-through is significantly stronger than
  Honda's in TX. With 61,676 units sold vs Honda's 35,114
  in 90 days, Toyota commands a +5.2 point share lead in
  SUVs. Current supply coverage of 0.28x (Toyota) vs 0.41x
  (Honda) confirms Toyota dealer lots are lean — allocation
  increases to TX SUV dealers are justified this quarter.
