Even if one does put on rose colored glasses, takes LSD, and has just spent a day with a naked Jennifer Hawkins, its still hard to see any positives from any of the non negative assessments. No company wants tor un at a loss, no company wants to just breakeven. Mullaly wants to see a return on invesment. Any future investment will be decided this way. Producing 4500 cars a month will never provide a return a decent return on investment. Toyota produces 2.5 times more cars at its Altona Plant (with I beleive roughly the same number of employees), and is wondering if it gets a return on its investment. I think it would be good to track the similarities between Burela's comments and those of Mitsubishi's Australian CEO prior to March 2008.
