David Elshoff Quotations

We're going to try to get out ahead of the curve and be aggressive with incentives.

There's no difference in the economic climate that Chrysler faces than the one that Ford and GM face. All three of us are in an entirely different boat than transplant operators. All three have legacy costs. All three of us have made commitments to our work force and our retirees that haven't manifested themselves with the transplants.

It is not a response to incentives. It's something designed to cut us from the herd and have us stand apart. Our quality perception trails our quality reality.

We would expect any deal reached with G.M. would create a new pattern for the other bargaining U.A.W.-represented auto companies.
