There is no doubt we will be sailing Alfa Romeo right at the limit of her ability. That means there is always the risk of something breaking or the technology failing, whether it's a sunfish hitting a rudder, a plastic bag blocking the cooling inlet of the engine or something simply breaking under the strain.

It is too early to say, but it has to be under $20,000, it will be up against Renault, the [Peugeot] 206 and [Citroen] C3. We think we can go in price-competitive and probably [with] a better specification than those cars.

We have been waiting for the new generation cars, we are not going to bring any of the old models.

I would be surprised if we and Wild Oats were not in sight of each other all the way, unfortunately.

There will be an increase [in price for the diesel] but it won't be significant. It will be hundreds [of dollars] rather than thousands.

The record is there to be taken.
