- Story Text: Car shows in Frankfurt shines despite hike in oil prices.
The 61. International Motor Show in Frankfurt on Tuesday (September
13, 2005) still captivated with shiny cars and powerful motors.
Several carmakers have unveiled new models at the Frankfurt Motor Show
on the second press day on Tuesday, ahead of the official opening to the
public.
Car maker General Motors (GM), despite progress in the last quarter, is
not expecting profits this year.
"We are convinced that with our dramatically improved quality -
and our clients have acknowledged that - the brand is gaining momentum. At the
same time, we have improved our productivity in development as well as in
production," said Vice-CEO for GM, Karl-Peter Forster.
"In the second quarter of this year we at General Motors made a
profit, that doe not mean anything for the year but it shows us that we are on
the right track and so we view our future with optimism," Forster
added.
The Frankfurt Motor Show opens to the general public on Thursday,
September 15.
