Among other options it says it rejected was to make only small cars; given its high fixed costs and the low prices it would have to charge, it would lose $43 for every such car produced in 1982.

...rushed to Boston airport to get the 4 p.m. Air New England flight to Martha's Vineyard, a 70-mile, 35-minute trip. But then there was a delay: no equipment. Finally, at about 6 p.m., we got on a plane and joined a long line of other flights waiting to take off. Just as we reached the head of the line, the pilot said he had to refuel. At last, at around 7 p.m., we departed. But later, in midcourse, we veered left toward the Vineyard's neighboring island of Nantucket. Apparently our flight number was switched...
