Quote from the earlier post. Have marked the important words in bold, which leave a lot to interpretation. For me, I got confused with "working on" and "has now got", and paid more importance to the former.
If they actually have already started using high grade steel which is 200 mega pascal more than earlier, it is better. Just that I did not see the cost being passed on to the price of the car and this is the sole reason for my interpretation as such . |
