《欧洲华尔街日报》报道,虽然国际主要汽车市场表面上显得停滞,但西欧、日本及美国汽车市场到2000年前,每年平均仍将增长2%。麦克罗希尔公司(DRI)预测,到1995年底,欧洲汽车销售量低于业者预期,但目前的低迷并非长期走下坡的开始,只是增长周期中短暂的停顿。这个增长期可能要再过12到18个月才会达到顶点。 The European Wall Street Journal reported that although the major international car markets appear to be stagnant, the car markets in Western Europe, Japan and the United States will still grow by an average of 2% each year by 2000. By the end of 1995, the company predicted that car sales in Europe were below the industry’s expectations, but the current downturn is not the beginning of a long-term decline, but a momentary pause in the growth cycle. This growth period may take another 12 to 18 months to reach its peak.
