( forecast 10.2 million ) as global recession and credit crunch in the most industrialized countries are
ravaging demand despite the sharp drop of oil price since its peak of July 2008. In the mean time
domestic vehicle sales plunges as well to their lowest level since 1981 at 6.9 million ( forecast 7.7
million). This underline the fact that General Motors, Ford and Chrysler will need deeper restructuring
and more federal money to survive
