Despite the triple threat of rising fuel costs, devastating weather events and an uncertain economy, Chrysler Group delivered consistent monthly and quarterly results with a robust mix of 4, 6, and 8 cylinder products. Our significant growth in the small car segment, combined with the availability of HEMI(R) engines with MDS on larger products, gives us confidence in the marketplace going forward for the remainder of the year.

They're not as big and they get pretty good fuel economy.

What is clear is that the damage caused by ever more severe and frequent weather events...ripples across the economy to the eventual detriment of shareholders.

We're going to have bookend events with the weather, because it was perfect the first year here in '99. I don't want to jinx it, but if the last two years were 2 or 3 on a scale of 1 to 10, we're probably looking at an 8 or 9.

We typically see severe weather in November, December and January; so some of our really severe events have actually happened in the winter time.
