New car sales on the decline in Europe
Global marketing information firm JD Power and Associates estimates a 6.9% decrease in new car sales in western Europe in 2010, in comparison with 2009 figures. Sales in Germany, England and France have declined considerably under the average in Europe. But in Sweden, the automotive industry is actually seeing an increase in car sales, presumably due to the tendency among consumers to delay car purchases during the recession.
