Keywords:
Tags:
10.5 million vehicles is the new number at GM for USA auto sales in 2009. GM has consistently predicted a scenario for auto sales that is much higher than it has turned out to be, leading to a lack of proactive speedy decisionmaking where needed to close plants, get financing and other steps needed to pull the company out of trouble. This new lower number may also turn out to be higher than actual because figures for inventories, unemployment, foreclosures, consumer spending, exports, all are worsening.

Sinking demand in 2008 and the Detroit automakers future.
02/13/2006
Sinking demand is casting a long shadow on the future of Detroit automakers, not the sinking demand of the 3rd quarter which was bad, but the sinking demand for the 4th quarter 2008 and in 2009. Something that GM and Ford with their optimistic forecasts of 13-14 million vehicles for 2009 as stated in theSenate on November 18, 2008 by their CEO's, may have missed as sales may be in the neighborhood of 10 million or lower in 2009.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
