Not sure what it is, but I have seen this twice in So Cal. one dirt lot had about 500 Lincoln Town cars that were covered with dirt, had flat tires, etc. Maybe the dealer bought at a discount and the cost of storage (away from the dealership) offset the purchase price, or maybe Lincoln paid it, but I saw them for months.
Sorry, I just got here and have not already read the many other replies advising you that this report is bogus.
But it is.

Of all the BS claims made this in this article; this is the BSieist...
As it is, there are more cars than there are people on the planet with an estimated 10 billion roadworthy cars in the world today.
Yes, I’m certain that at any given time there are hundreds of thousands, if not in the low millions, of new cars and trucks sitting in shipping lots like these. I used to live in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and we had an autoport there that served part of Canada. The whole of Canada is a market of about 30 million, remember. Anyway, they had vast lots there just to handle the traffic to and from Canada - cars being accumulated before being shipped out, and cars which had just been unloaded from ships.
I was 19 and the Pinto was still a new car at the time. The bad news about the gas tank didn’t come until after I had traded it in..............
This article has been posted, reposted, and debunked multiple times already.
Those Dodge Durangos that you see above, for instance, are from pre-bankruptcy Chrysler...not current pictures.
Other pics are from rail marshaling yards and ports where you get surges of vehicles based on shipping schedules.
Those Acuras are 2 generations old.
Old pics.
