We can only hope that things calm down in East Asia, rather than actually get any worse.
It's a boost for GM's management and can be cited as evidence that the turnaround strategy is beginning to yield results.

Lots of people to catch up with and that was good. On one level, it seems daft to wrestle with the engineering conflicts involved in making a leisure vehicle that will do land and water. Could Volvo Cars find itself 'going home' - AB Volvo perhaps taking a majority shareholding, Ford keeping a sizeable stake? Wagoner was bounced into agreeing to it, by Kerkorian, in the first place. But liberal democracy it ain't. The word 'deathtrap' was mentioned.
- Ghosn and the alliance speculation rather stole the show. Really, it was nicely set up for Wagoner. But we have been here before with Ford and Ford has come through before. Volvo Cars is still very Swedish and has been largely left alone by Ford while it turned a profit. There was a fair bit of screaming from some of the passengers, apparently. From what I can gather, the move is being seen as an attempt by left-wingers in Beijing to rein in the increasingly powerful pro-business Communist Party powerbase in Shanghai. The car has two engines: the. In that context the Renault line-up for Paris this year looks a little disappointing.

Revenues have gone up as much as twenty percent throughout the parish.
For now, the focus is on the respective turnaround plans.
It is basically a slimming down exercise, but Ford has realised that there have to be more factory closures and more jobs cut sooner than was originally planned. As far as I can see, things have got worse since then, economically.

Does it just sit on the sidelines as the next round of commercial vehicles industrial consolidation involving Scania takes place?
Interesting to reflect on how safety is a subjective concept and always moving on.
Can't really say the same for the likes of Kalina. Must be frustrating for eavesdroppers. But don't rule it out if things in Detroit get worse rather than better.
Another concept that is very close to the production version.

I'm surprised that Toyota didn't pull out all the stops to examine its processes and systems to sort out the quality problems on the preferred - short - development timescale.
No-can-do, said Mr Ghosn. So it's a safe bet that. Like the occasionally vaunted coming together of Renault and PSA - it would be a tough pill to swallow.
It looks like it is run by a regime well and truly in the dark ages.
They have their place in the transportation mix, especially in heavily urbanised areas, but I must admit to not being a frequent user myself.
Anyway, Eurostar train to Paris beckons and then I will be dropping in to the Crain roundtable event, hopefully in time to catch keynote speaker Carlos Ghosn. Only thing is, these two American corporations are so head-to-head there would have to be massive rationalisation.
For now, the focus is on the respective turnaround plans.
