For 2008 : 5 Million new unemployed 2.5 Million less cars sold.

[C......N......C]

Certainly the drop of car sales is a function of the number of new unemployed. Every manufacturer was down significantly including all of the Japanese builders. I think they are looking at the problem totally wrong. There are not any able or qualified buyers. I think the drop in car purchases is permanent and growing throughout the whole industry. Am I missing something or are they. It is inconceivable that they are wrong. What am I missing?
