Economist forecasts slow sales recovery
TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. — The U.S. auto industry faces a slow sales recovery, says Sean McAlinden, chief economist at the Center for Automotive Research in Ann Arbor, Mich. He said automakers kept U.S. sales artificially high for years with a steady stream of sales incentives. “We are burning off a bubble that built up between 1997 and 2007,” McAlinden said last week at the CAR Management Briefing Seminars. U.S. industry sales could bump along at 12 million units or so for several years, he said. According to his projections, annual U.S. sales won’t reach 15 million until 2014. If true, that could spell trouble for automakers. Ron Harbour, a managing partner at the industry research firm Oliver Wyman, said that despite all the plant shutdowns of the past two years, North American automakers still operate at about 60 percent of capacity. Automakers, he said, “still have to make some tough decisions.” — David Sedgwick
