    Not that straightforward. They might have used the money on something else. And would they have had the results? Is there a price for positive publicity?

    Yes of course, and as someone wrote here even 6,8mill is pocket change for Toyota. My point was that building up a new facility and having to buy new machines etc instead of that already existing in Köln is extra costs even for Toyota and since TMR basically works independent from Toyota they naturally are in the business to make a profit as well.
    All in all TMR has done a good job so I doubt them making a profit is of concern for Toyota

    But then they wouldn't have the huge advantage of being able to use gravel and snow roads 50km from the Puuppola base.
