That is really not true. Each individual car is sold for more than the cost of manufacturer. Statistics like this tend to take fixed costs and historical costs into account in a way that shouldn't be divided by unit volume. I caution you to read more about this, as you see statistics like this quoted often in the press. It is almost always an indicator of issues with article quality.
