preferences towards smaller, lower-margin vehicles; a possible lack of acceptance of our products or services which limits our

production due to shortages of materials, labour strikes or supplier insolvencies; a decline in resale prices of used vehicles; the

regulations and government policies, particularly those relating to vehicle emissions, fuel economy and safety; the resolution of
