Truck-based models cost less for U.S. car markers to produce because they already have all the parts developed for their truck business. These truck-based SUVs have been the most profitable segment for Detroit in recent years, so developing new car-based models will eat into margins. |
We can take some confidence from the result against Azerbaijan. |
We can wait to see what happens, but perhaps he's bitten off more than he can chew, ... They've used the value of Hughes effectively to benefit other shareholders. I don't think there's any consensus among analysts that GM is forgetting about shareholders and should be taken over by raiders. |

We did not play great but the main thing is that we won, |
We're off to a booming start and everybody's going to be raising their sales forecasts for the year. |

With their sharp decline in market share, they have frankly got too much capacity, too many plants, too many people to be profitable in North America. |
You buy these stocks when the world hates them. |
You have an earnings penalty and a cash benefit, neither of which is overwhelming. |
You have to admire them. Even with $4,000 in incentives, they're still making money...You compare that with how GM and Ford are doing in North America, and you have to give them a medal. |
