I don't mean volume, I mean value. Of course you can sell a 10 million rolls of good toilet paper cheaper than 100k rolls of lower quality paper.


I am talking value added, google if you don't understand it.


There is much more value added components on the WRX than our FRS, a ton more and they cost the same. Its a problem. And I'm not saying the FRS isn't Quality, there just ain't a whole lot too it.


The whole issue of not meeting says volumes is capital payback ( again google), these days automakers want it as fast as possible. The Japanese used to be famous for accepting long paybacks, up to a decade. That was the "glory" ears before OBDII. If the platform survives their business case payback then maybe we will see more value added goodies.
