Tallene for bilsalget i USA for november svake

Til tross for at amerikanske bilprodusenter har kjørt kampanjer med store rabatter på nye biler, var omsetningen av biler i november i USA den svakeste hittil i det vanskelige året 2008. New York Times skriver:

Sales plummeted by more than 40 percent at three automakers: 47 percent at Chrysler, 42 percent at Nissan and 41 percent at General Motors.

Toyota sold 33.9 percent fewer vehicles than in November 2007, while Honda’s sales declined 31.6 percent, and Ford’s fell 30.6 percent. BMW said its sales dropped 26.8 percent.

“It feels like we’re back in 1982 right now,” Bob Carter, general manager of the Toyota division, said on a conference call. “Consumers are simply not shopping today.”

Salgene for november ble dermed lavere enn for oktober, som i sin tur var de laveste på 25 år for USA.
