close gm happen likely million numbers pass strength thanks toyota vehicles volume
I think GM's numbers will be close to 9.1 million to 9.2 million vehicles in 2006 thanks to its strength in the Asia-Pacific market. It's likely that Toyota will pass GM in volume worldwide, but I don't think it's going to happen in 2006.
agreement closer coming locked past retirement room understanding wage week
I don't think they could have been locked in a room 24/7 over the past week and come up with this retirement agreement without coming closer to an understanding on the Delphi wage situation.
close confidence consumer december january strong took
It must have been a really strong close to the month. December wasn't a big blowout for incentives, so there wasn't a lot of payback in January and consumer confidence really took a jump.
again close imports percent winners year
Imports and transplants are again the big winners in 2005, and will close out the year with about 40.5 percent of the market, up from 38.8 percent in 2004.
management plans reasonable though time
I think it's reasonable to give the new management time to look over the details, though I don't know how Ford's plans are going to change.
easier embraced equality gm goes principle rank
It goes to the 'equality of sacrifice' principle embraced by the union. It may make it easier for GM to get concessions from the rank and file.
cut dividends gm paying
I think they will cut the dividend today. They should say something about the dividend one way or the other. Financially, GM shouldn't be paying any dividends at all.
gm matter short shut strike totally
I think there will be a strike, but a short one. But any Delphi strike would shut down GM totally in a matter of days.
among benefit bitten consensus forgetting gm hughes perhaps taken value wait
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.
ford wants
Padilla is a very able (executive), but he is also the old guard. Padilla is out because Ford wants his own people. That's my view.
area attract expecting great heavy hoping immediate limits plenty serious tells tremendous
Rockport has a tremendous fishery for reds and we are hoping to attract the most serious redfish anglers to show them off and put on a great event. Our immediate inclination tells us we are expecting a big angler turnout from the area and plenty of heavy limits at the weigh-in stage.
addition billion gm
I still think it's unlikely, ... I think GM has the liquidity it needs. In addition to the cash, it has $50 billion in untapped borrowing.
bring eventually fields mark might outside possible
I think Mark Fields will eventually be COO, but it's possible they might still bring in someone from outside the company.
capacity extremely half hard job
I think they're doing half of the job extremely well; that half is capacity and costs. That half of the job that's hard to tell is the new models.
