The profit might be triggered by new model Persona and cheap sales of due model Iswara. The next quarter, that is 2008 Q1 will evidence the sustainability of P1 when it introduces BLM. There's not too much victory to celebrate as things only gets much and much more difficult and tougher, not the other way round. Surviving at our very own homeland is one thing, competing outside the protected safe playground is another thing. When all these things add up, it might just become an intereting opera soap drama.
