I think he was making the point that it would take more than a "me too" signature to register as a market opportunity. When you consider that BMW and Toyota had years to build the business case, it figures that they already crunched the data and determined that there would not be enough people willing to actually plunk down their cash for the MT to make it profitable. As such, a petition isn't likely to be a good way to motivate a change in plans.
