But we probably won't do it alone. We will collaborate with someone, most likely major suppliers. Towers' sales goal for 2001 is 190,000 units, down 3.7 percent from 2000's 197,379 because most new models don't arrive until the autumn. But MG Rover will have to step up the pace to reach that goal. Its sales were 165,002 for the 12 months ending in April.
Towers resists long-range speculation.
We have a five-year plan. We will have a new medium car, we will renew our range, and we will have some degree of collaboration.
