Unfortunately, the experts are united in the opinion: the 2009-meters cars will get up, and the auto will remain. However, to adequately assess the situation can only be in March - the first quarter will go on «awakening».
Under the pessimistic forecast, which takes Autostat, car market serious setback. For example, sales of cars can drop by 20% and return to the level in 2006 as a result - the shortage of liquidity and rising costs, which automakers and dealers will fight austerity.
There will be frozen a lot of projects - such as construction and car production at the assembly line of new models. There have already been indefinitely postponed production model Mondeo, and moved started Renault and Nissan models for 2010-2011. Participation and forced to leave for employees.
Not surprisingly, the decline and imports. First, manufacturers cut production throughout the world. Secondly, as a result, prices will inevitably rise. Finally, on 10-11 January in force a government decree, significantly increases import duties on cars. Avtokontserny will make every effort to pass on to consumers the cost increase. Expected price increases for cars - 10-15%, but in terms of imports. On the contrary, are expected to decline.
Still, analysts are not so unanimous. According to some, especially to decrease the import of used cars - an average of 10-15%, while imports of new cars had been reduced or even increase. Others are more pessimistic and promise skoraschenie all.
As for the car, then in any form in the coming year should not wait for his recovery. The stakes are very high and unfavorable for the consumers, and to change the situation is not likely before the last quarter of 2010.
