According to
car finance
news reports from
America, leading
car company
General Motors Corp is going to face a testing 2008.
A variety of factors have combined to increase pressure on the
company, including the
credit crunch caused by the US
subprime mortgages catastrophe. Combined with other slumps in
the
housing market and tighter credit throughout the country, the
purchase of
new vehicles is likely to slow down.
However, the chief executive of GM, Rick Wagoner, is particularly
optimistic and thinks that
vehicle sales will improve this year. However, how the main
manufacturers achieve this remains to be seen. It is anticipated
that
car companies will increase incentives and promotion to keep
sales high.
Financial experts in the US indicate that the
auto industry will decline still further during 2008.
