cars historical inherently passenger profitable
The passenger cars are not inherently as profitable as big SUVs or big pickups, but they have to refurbish their car line, even if it doesn't get them back to historical profit margins,
car cost detroit developed developing eat less models parts produce profitable recent segment truck
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.
decline frankly market north people profitable sharp
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.
bail china gm problems profitable solve united
GM has to solve its problems (in the United States) before it can be profitable again. China is not going to bail out the company.
definitely profitable
It's still a very profitable segment. That's why everyone is getting into it. But you will definitely see more incentives.
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.
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.
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.
