The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

The vast majority of people who are buying would have bought in the next 6-12 months (or less) anyway.

They just accelerated the deal.

So if you look at auto sales totals it will still be ~10 million this year. But there are 250K (or more) sales which might have occurred NEXT year that will not occur.

Unless there is a “with-job” recovery.
