So it was money that provided the major topic as the Governors convened for their 61st annual conference at the Broadmoor hotel in Colorado Springs, Colo. In particular, they discussed the money...

Instead they are gambling that potential foreign-car buyers will pay a bit more in original cost and operating expense to gain speed and seating space. Even so, profits on the small cars are going to be slim compared with those on larger models like the Mustang, which are offered with expensive options that can double their price and profitability.
