less moderate operation plus
It's a moderate plus to their finances. Hertz has become kind of a noncore operation for them, a much less important outlet.
half job model
Probably half the job is cost-cutting. The new model lineup is the other part of it.
crisis feeding frenzy gm mode small
If it wasn't GM in crisis mode and the whole feeding frenzy going on in the media, a small restatement like this wouldn't get any attention.
expanding lead market models opinion upside
My opinion is there's still a lot of upside for Toyota, ... They're expanding capacity, still introducing models (in market segments) where they haven't been. They've got a technological lead in (fuel efficient) hybrids. They're aggressively expanding here still.
car cost detroit developed developing eat less models parts produce profitable recent segment truck
Truck-based models cost less for U.S. car markers to produce because they already have all the parts developed for their truck business. These truck-based SUVs have been the most profitable segment for Detroit in recent years, so developing new car-based models will eat into margins.

It's more trouble for the suppliers. Partly, it's a reflection of the fact that Ford and GM are shrinking to reckon with lower market share. And so there's less business to go around for the suppliers.

begin operations turned
They've got to get these operations turned around. By 2007, I think that will begin to happen.
coming continue ford gm north squeeze stuff
They've got some interesting new stuff coming out. They're going to continue to do better than GM and Ford in North America, but I think there'll be a squeeze on their earnings.
cure hype match pills useful
These pills can be useful pills, but they don't match up to the hype we've had that they really cure the illness.
company darn maybe
It's not bet-the-company, but it's pretty darn important. Well, maybe it is bet-the-company.
caused market shares strike sure warped
I'm not sure how significant that is because these warped market shares were caused by the strike that is now over.
