IT’S THAT TIME of the year again, but from where the big bosses of the car industry sit, they’d likely trade all that the Ghost of Christmas Present can offer for hot new models, fatter margins, more sales and yet more sales. CarBuyer polled four captains of industry, along with one motoring hack just for contrast, to find out about new trends, what plans they have for their brands for 2006, as well as what regulatory changes they’d like to see introduced in order to help the trade get off to a good start next year.
