Ich muss meine Einschätzung leider revidieren:
"The auto crisis is not specific to American manufacturers; Nissan recently cited the economic downturn as the reason it is pulling out of the
Detroit International Auto Show next year. Nissan saw a 42.2% drop in sales in November 2008 with Nissan vehicles showing a 44.4% decrease and Infiniti posting a 28% drop. The two largest Japanese-based auto manufacturers, Toyota and Honda, also posted dismal figures. American Honda saw a 31.6% decrease in sales in November 2008. Will the low-priced
Honda Insight Hybrid be the ace up Honda’s sleeves? Unfortunately, we will not know until the car hits the dealerships in the spring of 2009.
Toyota also posted a significant loss with a decline of 33.9% seen. What is unusual is that one Toyota model posted a huge increase in sales and it was not the Prius.
Instead, it was the Toyota Sequoia with its paltry 14/17 (city/highway) fuel efficiency rating. That’s right, gas falls to under $2 gallon in most places across the United States and people seem to have amnesia. Four dollar a gallon gas was not that long ago but the way the Sequoia sold in November (a 52% increase over October) you would think it happened decades ago.
And the winner is...
Also. Sobald die Spritpreise fallen, ist wieder alles beim alten.
