not trying to be negative, but $245 million sounds like just enough to cover production for a year or so + give them a chance to produce a 9-3 + hope that takes hold... a chance to gain traction in the marketplace... I would think an order of magnitude more, $2.45 billion, would be a more appropriate figure for development of 3 new models, no?
I also question the need for 2 bigger models when the 9-5 is not selling well primarily because it is too big! Maybe the vision is for replacing the 9-4x + 9-5 going forward with the bigger models + somewhat down sizing the 9-5 on the new platform in the future? we'll see I guess!
anyway, at this point (with the recent near demise!), I think there is a need to walk before running... I like VM's enthusiasm, but I'd prefer to see a bit more JAJ style conservatism in these announcements (and the planning in general)...
James...
