All in all, these are strong results. |
Cutting out Okazaki says we are not in the registered car market. |
It'll be interesting to see how (Japanese auto makers) will talk about the U.S. market. |
Setting those two issues aside, we would have seen a pretty nice rise. |
They have some new products coming in the US and Europe, which should help. |
Things are basically good for Toyota. |
This is probably the right way to go for them, but it's a riskier proposition than Lexus was for Toyota. |
Toyota is looking to do with hybrids what Volvo did with safety, trying to get people to pay more for hybrids. It is very similar to the debate a couple years back, whether you want to have air bags or not. American automakers were fighting it tooth and nail. Volvo got people to pay for it. |

We have some good expectations for Nissan for the coming year based on a richer U.S. product cycle. |
We're not too worried about the situation, as Suzuki's fundamentals and growth prospects are solid. |
