You’re not getting my point. Up until now, American automakers have majority of the market share in the US, so when they’re hurt, the auto industry is hurt too. But now, the foreign automakers are getting almost 50% of the US market share and last I heard, Toyota, Honda, and Nissan have breaking their sale records left and right. Seems like they’re limited by production. While American auto makers are struggling and closing plants, Nissan has already stated that they’ll buy those plants from GM or Ford when it’s available. So this decline in sales might be the American automakers losing market share fast while the foreign automakers can’t produce cars fast enough to offset the major decline from the big 3. The auto industry is in a very different landscape than it was in the past, so this decline in sales might just be temporary. Also, GM seems to finally be turning the corner too.
