"Parked in the sea" is a rather dramatic way of saying that incoming container ships couldn't unload.

- charles_f 6y agoYeah, slightly click-baity
- XzAeRosho 6y agoFor some reason the headline got me thinking that they were throwing cars into the sea.
- dx87 6y agoSame. The headline made it sound like dealerships had a bunch of cars already ordered, and were caught dumping them in the ocean because they weren't selling enough inventory to make room for the newer cars.
- lotsofpulp 6y agoThat is the intended purpose of the headline in order to get you to click on it.

- loco5niner 6y agoThat was intentional.

- dpeck 6y ago"at sea" is reasonable and attention grabbing, "in the sea" is just click-bait junk.
- dang 6y agoOk, we've taken them out of the sea in the title above. Nice "at".
- Shivetya 6y agowell that and it certainly is not just SUVs but that does make for a more click bait title. It would be interesting to see how many products are affected that sit on container ships. I have not seen any slowness in delivery of mailed items, specifically ebay auctions that were shipped from China
- monkmartinez 6y agoNot really... Oil is "parked at sea" right now and you see the effect. Too much supply is too much. I live in a medium sized city and parking garages are full of rental cars as they have no where to put them. All of our dealers have lots full to the brim. Sales fell off a cliff.
- bertjk 6y ago"parked at sea" has that meaning. There would be no complaints here if the headline was "SUVs Get Parked At Sea,..."
- dhosek 6y agoWhen the overhead shot of the cars was loading, the initial blurring made it look like they were lined up in 20' of water.
