materially from those stated, including, without limitation: greater price
competition in the U.S. and Europe resulting from currency fluctuations,
industry overcapacity or other factors; a significant decline in industry
sales, particularly in the U.S. or Europe, resulting from slowing economic
growth; currency fluctuations; further economic difficulties in South America
or Asia; a market shift from truck sales in the U.S.; lower-than-anticipated
residual values for leased vehicles; labor or other constraints on our ability
to restructure our business; increased safety or emissions regulation resulting
