(Crossovers) are putting a dent in demand for SUVs. The designs of these vehicles are fresh and something different and they are capturing consumer's attention. |
At this point, it doesn't seem like Suzuki can give General Motors anything that Daewoo can't. |

From a functional perspective, it does everything well. From an emotional perspective it does nothing. It looks like any other car on the road. |
I never like to hear stories like this. But I don't really see it negatively impacting Toyota. |
I think October was the bottom. It could pick up modestly in December. |
I'm not sure they can move away from Ford fast enough. |
If General Motors is going to survive, they have to be a smaller organization and get the cost structure under control. They've got to become lean, streamline their processes, get products to market faster and take more risks. |

It's incredibly cyclical. It basically depends on business spending. If they're not spending money, that industry dries up real fast. |
It's the 800-pound gorilla. No one seems able to stop them. |
