Dear Mr. Schrempp:

      We have reviewed the above filing and have the following
comment.  Please be as detailed as necessary in the explanation
you
provide for this comment.  After reviewing this information, we
may
or may not raise additional comments.

      Please understand that the purpose of our review process is
to
assist you in your compliance with the applicable disclosure
requirements and to enhance the overall disclosure in your
filings.
We look forward to working with you in these respects.  We welcome
any questions you may have about our comment or on any other
aspect
of our review.  Feel free to call us at the telephone numbers
listed
at the end of this letter.

General

Your 424(b)(3) prospectus supplement filed on March 4, 2005,
states
that you and certain of your subsidiaries and affiliates
"occasionally sell, directly or through their authorized sales
representatives, passenger cars, commercial vehicles, vehicle
components and other products to persons located in Cuba."  In
view
of the fact that Cuba has been identified by the U.S. State
Department as a state sponsor of terrorism, and is subject to
economic sanctions administered by the U.S. Treasury Department`s
Office of Foreign Assets Control, please describe for us your
operations in Cuba; advise us of the materiality to the company of
its operations in Cuba; and give us your view as to whether those
operations constitute a material investment risk for your security
holders.  In preparing your response, please consider that
evaluations of materiality should not be based solely on
quantitative
factors, but should include consideration of all factors,
including
the potential impact of corporate activities upon a company`s
reputation and share value, that a reasonable investor would deem
important in making an investment decision.
We are aware of a published report that you are under
investigation
by German authorities because of some 453 units of truck-trailers
you
sold to Saudi Arabia that surfaced in Iran.  Please confirm for us
the existence of the referenced investigation, advise us of its
status, and describe for us all direct or indirect contacts the
company has with Iran, a country that has been identified as a
state
sponsor of terrorism, and is subject to U.S. economic sanctions.
We
may have further comment.

Closing Comments

      Please respond to this comment within 10 business days or
tell
us when you will provide us with a response.  Please file your
response letter on EDGAR.

      We urge all persons who are responsible for the accuracy and
adequacy of the disclosure in the filings reviewed by the staff to
be
certain that they have provided all information investors require
for
an informed decision.  Since the company and its management are in
possession of all facts relating to the company`s disclosure, they
are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosures
they
have made.  In connection with responding to our comment, please
provide, in writing, a statement from the company acknowledging
that:

the company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the
disclosure in the filings;

staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff
comments
do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with
respect
to the filings; and

the company may not assert staff comments as a defense in any
proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the
federal securities laws of the United States.

In addition, please be advised that the Division of Enforcement
has
access to all information you provide to the staff of the Division
of
Corporation Finance in our review of your filings or in response
to
our comments on your filings.

      Please understand that we may have additional comments after
we
review your response to our comment.  Please contact Frank Green
at
(202) 551-3522 if you have any questions about the comment or our
review.  You may also contact me at (202) 551-3470.
