陪同这次采访的有韦恩郡专案主管Olivia Deng, DIAS总经理Michael Wesney, DIAS销售副总Alphonse Kolis及销售副总John Gulbransen。在采访的开始，首先又DIAS总经理Michael Wesney介绍了到场的来宾，然后郡长Ficano先生对三立新闻台的来访表示了热烈的欢迎。
在接下来的采访中，记者钟佩玲关切的问到郡长先生对目前底特律经济、汽车产业破产的看法。郡长Ficano先生回答到，汽车公司破产最大的问题不是汽车公司本身，而是由此带来的汽车品牌营售商和供应商的亏损。作为政府，将协助这些行业的人员再就业，或者帮助这些企业逐渐过渡到另外的领域。前段时间白宫有专门派人到底特律解决失业人员培训的问题，足见政府的重视程度。他讲到，虽然底特律经济的重建将是一个很痛苦的过程，但是这个城市有很强的技术基础，有大量的从事汽车技术行业的人员，车厂虽然亏损，但其价值仍不容小觑。菲亚特目前并购克莱斯勒也是看到其品牌的价值所在。
记者钟佩玲特别问道郡长Ficano先生对底特律汽车工业衰退的个人感受。Ficano先生诚恳的回答道，目前全世界各个地方汽车销量都缩减，中国可能是现在唯一保持增长的市场，当然这是不容乐观的一个现象。但是回顾自己的成长历程，Ficano先生说他的祖父就是在福特公司工作的员工，是汽车行业给他们家带来了不错的生活水准，使其收益成为家里第一个去上大学，第一个学法律的人。身受汽车行业的滋养，自然对这个行业充满了感情，非常希望通过自己的努力让这个行业改变现状。
当记者钟佩玲问道克莱斯勒和通用为什么会走到今天这一步的时候，Ficano先生说，他虽然不是汽车行业的专家，但是他认为通用之前没有及时的做出决策，去掉一些亏损的品牌。而克莱斯勒很长一段时间和戴姆勒合作，但是合作期间技术并没有从戴姆勒那里传递过来。另外除了汽车公司本身，银行金融机构的问题也有待解决才能使汽车公司走出困境。

韦恩郡郡长Robert Ficano接受三立新闻台记者采访
In order to understand the current situation of the Detroit automotive industry, Taiwan SET-TV News Channel news reporter Chung Peilin and photographer Lin Yungming traveled to Detroit International Auto Salon (DIAS) in order to interview Wayne County executive Robert Ficano.
Accompanying Mr. Ficano in the interview were head of the Wayne County’s program manager Olivia Deng, DIAS President Michael Wesney, DIAS Sales Vice-President Alphonse Kolis and John Gulbransen. Before the interview, DIAS President Michael Wesney introduced Mr. Ficano, who then extended a warm welcome towards the viewers of Taiwan SET-TV News Channel. Reporter Chung Peilin asked Mr. Ficano about the current view that the automotive industry has gone bankrupt in the Detroit economy. Mr. Ficano replied that the biggest causes and problems of the bankruptcy do not stem from the car companies themselves, but from the losses of the suppliers and other areas. Currently, the government is helping personnel gain re-employment as well as helping enterprises to gradually transition to other domains. He said that although the reconstruction of Detroit’s economy will be a painful process, the city has a very strong technology base, engaged and knowledgeable citizens in automotive technology, and strong values.
Reporter Chung Peilin then asked Mr. Ficano about his personal feelings about the decline in the Detroit automotive industry. Mr. Ficano sincerely replied that the current situation is that China maintains the only growth in the market as automotive sales volume decreases in many places around the world. Clearly, this is not an optimistic phenomenon. However, he then reviews his own growth history, starting with a grandfather working at Ford Motor Company. This provided him with substantial opportunities for his success, such as being the first in his family to go to college. He has personally experienced a nourishing automotive industry and the benefits coming with that so he hopes to change the current situation.
When reporter Chung Peilin asked Mr. Ficano as to the reasons behind Chrysler’s declared bankruptcy, he replied that although he’s not an expert in this field. However, in general, he explained that as Chrysler and Daimler have cooperated for a long period of time, Daimler’s inability to transition technologically added to the current situation. Also, the questions surrounding the financial situation of the banks also contributed to putting Chrysler in a difficult position.
