They have built complexity into the product, and have increased prices to match. They have spent a lot of money on "upmarketing" the factory. They have increased staff costs significantly at the top.

Perhaps the hope is that 3 wheeler sales will grow to bring a return on the investment, but the CX cars are expensive niche toys. Growth numbers in this zone must be limited, and there are already used CXs in the market.

I hope MMC gets through this, but the current range doesn't interest me at all.
