The automotive industry enjoyed a period of increased productivity and innovation by cutting costs over the last 5-7 years. Most companies are now seeing softening sales and consumer confidence - a combination that spells a brewing industry storm.
Industry consolidation and joint ventures provide a short term fixed to control costs. The real challenge ahead is to address the energy and enviornmental concerns balanced with innovative and creative products.
The road ahead for the industry is filled pot holes - and - sink holes, and. winners know they must find newer and more innovative ways to get deeper into the customer psyche.
Customers want to be wowed with eye-catching products, at a reasonable price -- and save the planet. They do not want to choose between what are seen as false options.
