Cool <GROAN> Future CNW Nonsense

http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/2007...-savings_2.htm

. . .
Watanabe said reaching the 10 percent margin was "crucial" to be able to invest to the tune of 1.5 trillion yen a year each on facilities and R&D to develop safer and more environmentally friendly cars.
. . .
One of the math lies CNW Marketing used to claim a Prius costs $3.25/mile was to take the Research and Development cost and divide it by the most pessimistic mileage number they could find. A big numerator divided by a small denominator. So here is a '1.5 trillion yen' numerator waiting for some idiot to claims is an expense, a cost, to calculate a useless, misleading cost per mile.

Of course the world waits with baited breath for the cost per mile of the GM hybrids from CNW Marketing (NOT!)
