Consequently, they gave the suppliers an expected volume of 30-50k, not 80-100k, and they didn't add another shift at the plant to produce the cars, and so on. Looks like they did pretty well in their estimate for their product, as did GM. But if they made a car with more mass appeal, it would sell better. They didn't, and it doesn't.
Can't say it plainer than that.
