His boss worked out that the lost sales from missing meetings due to breakdowns were more per salesman than the catalog price of the cars.

Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostThe Italians were well ahead of their time, producing the world’s first biodegradable cars back in the 70’s.
The main reason for that was that Agnelli sold various bits of the production line for the Fiat 124 to the russians for the Lada. When the time came for them to cough up they had no foreign reserves so Fiat were paid with Ukranian steel which was surplus to requirements and very low grade. They used it make Fiats and Lancias with.Comment
