ggersh,

Not officially. At this point volume projections are meaningless. We have a range that we can guess, but actual planning numbers are just not possible.

For example, if the first three months of truck and SUV production satisfies those that have been waiting, and there are no more behind them, then poof, you can forget all your projections for the second half of 09.

I was known for my accurate forecasts at my last three companies. I actually told the head of North America that I am at the point where I'm going to just flip a coin and would he prefer I use 2 out of 3 or 3 out of 5 for my averages. I'm serious, that is how useless material, fab, and cycle planning has become.
