I really can't see how they can even do it cost effectively at 85 engines a day they will be running after the downbalance, considering we used to run at 480 a day 10 years ago.

Fixed costs don't change much between 480 and 85.
One would have to assume Boss... that when they take away availability for the Petrol, then more people would turn to the EcoLPi or EcoBoost offerings.

Only thing wrong there is the Turbo would be no more... and we need that. (Or do we?)
