I believe the auto industry is a competition of human resources, competition of funding, competition of technology - and the competition is international.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
What I've said repeatedly is, 'I think the auto industry is a very important industry.'
The problem with the auto industry is layered upon the lack of consumer confidence. People are not buying cars. I don't care whether they're or American cars, or international cars.
I believe the auto business is a highly comprehensive and complicated business. It's not that easy for people simply to enter and ruin the whole thing.
Every single country that has an auto industry is stepping forward to help that auto industry. Why wouldn't we help this industry too, because it needs 3.5 million jobs.
If the auto companies were free agents, they would act to break the fuel monopoly that is so damaging to their own interests and those of their customers. But they are not, and so they won't.
The automotive corporations, including Ford, I think are in the business of trying to make cars that people will drive.
I like American cars. And I would do nothing to hurt the U.S. auto industry.
Folks, you're the reason that the automobile industry is back. Whether it was the wage freezes, the plant closures, folks, you sacrificed to keep your companies open. Because of your productivity, the combined auto companies have committed to invest another $23 billion in expansion in America.
I believe those that produce the least emissions in autos will also be those who have the greatest success worldwide.
There has to be a drive to make the U.K. competitive in the motorcar industry or in the engineering industry. To do that, you have to give attention to the manufacturing sector.
