We are not particularly optimistic about the U.S. market in the next six months and next year. |
We are not worried so much about that. There is such a high demand for the jobs. |
We are the car manufacturer who grew the most, not only in growth rate but in absolute numbers, which was very rewarding ... since we were not on the front line of the incentive game, |
We don't know where the markets are going, |
We don't know where the markets are going, ... We have to observe what's going down, see the trends, look at every vibration on the market, prepare the technology and jump when consumers start to think one way or the other. |

We'll encourage our employees to make their decisions based on an existing experience, |
We're going to be facing in 2006, 2007, I'd say at best stagnation. It's an industry where you have to move all the time. You have to question yourself all the time. You have to challenge the way you're doing business all the time. |

What we are foreseeing is the situation of the market is not going to be fundamentally different than in 2004, |
Without any doubt I don't like Formula One with an average show, I like Formula One with a strong show, ... We are doing well at the moment and as long as we keep doing well we will still be in Formula One. |
You'd be hard-pressed to name another industry in which so much emphasis is placed on discounting to move products. |
You're going to see the same story everywhere, |
