Manufacturers must reawaken passion for cars and trucks and restore the value to the minds of our customers.

Cars have a large engine in the front and you have a gearbox, which is cumbersome. Electric cars don't have this problem. The motor is much smaller, the battery is below you. This will allow you to play with different shapes.
Electric cars are going to be very important for urban transportation.
Design is important, it's an important dimension in the car. It's not the only one.
It would be easier to make money in other sectors, but since I was a kid, I liked cars.
Electric cars are not going to take the market by storm, but it's going to be a gradual improvement.
The time is right for electric cars - in fact the time is critical.
As the CEO, I have to take care of the short term, mid term and the long term.
I always loved cars. I don't know why, I can't explain it to you. It has always been with me.
Our objective is to position Nissan in the top rank of the car industry. Until we get there, there will be no rest.
We're interested in when the car goes into the showroom, what are people going to think?
