At the end of the day, most people really only want a minivan for a certain part of their lives, when they're forced to have it because they have a lot of kids they've got to carry around or whatever, so I still think that the emotional connection with the car is very important.

If design isn't profitable, then it's art.

I think the key is that you come out with products which are embracing and true to the brand.

My view is that we will still have many different categories of cars in the future.

One of the things that I think nobody's done yet is really taking advantage of the electric powertrain layout, which of course, means you don't have a gasoline engine in the front and you don't have a gas tank in the rear.

There's obviously a big difference between driving on the freeway in the desert, where there are no children playing or running over the road, than deploying it in a neighborhood.

I would design any vehicle, but probably least likely... a minivan.

You can make them so small that they almost disappear, but I think headlights are also part of the face of a car.

I've never designed a bicycle, so one day that would be fun to do.

We have to control our battery development and testing.

I think we still have a love for cars, and whether you're going to be driven in a car or whether you drive the car yourself, I think most people still want a good-looking car. That's the reason why, when you order a cab, you prefer a sedan over a minivan to pick you up because it just isn't as cool to be driven somewhere in a minivan.

I'm not one of those radical believers that everybody has to be forced to do one thing.
