The crowd - 2008: Phew! We are pleased that most of the output

We did not know the turnover of the automobile industry in the U.S. in 2008 was wrong when he was in the year, but has been on an installation. In the last six months, or if the United States, the sales of vehicles to the market almost collapsed, and in our own national car industry with him.

However, there were a few points. The two Subaru MINIBEAT and a bit of the benefits of after-sales in 2008 over the previous year. The success of the MINI is probably due to the production capacity of the most popular, but we have no other explanation that his employees to sell Subaru is convinced that the average car.

As with the big dogs, but many are also concerned in recent months, the Japanese manufacturer has a very good first half of 2008. As such, the end of the year the data on the sale is better than that of households, Toyota is the worst performance in the Japanese Honda -15.4% hoods and better with a decline of only 7,91%. In comparison, the Ford Motor Company (-20.7%) and General Motors (-22.9%) were also poor, while sales of Chrysler Group bleeding and ended at a 30%.

As for the rest of the automotive industry and its prosecution is not sufficient.
