GM's Channel Stuffing Goes To Germany: Is Europe's Largest Economy A Fraud? We have long argued that auto manufacturers have been channel-stuffing (and subprime-lending) themselves back into a disaster and as such class-action lawsuits have begun. Recently we also pointed out the epidemic of dealer-inventory-stuffing in China (and again this morning the Chinese luxury car market's over-stuffing). So today's report from Reuters that German auto manufacturers have been stuffing dealer channels just like the rest of the world as Europe's largest car market is in recession even if few outside of the industry would know it. "Essentially, the carmakers are deceiving their shareholders, since they make it look as if the vehicles were actually sold. They want to pull the wool over their eyes," as three in every ten new vehicles in Germany are sold not to customers, but to carmakers and their dealers - a type of automotive industry pump priming known as "self-registration". At nearly half a million such registrations in the six months through June, the total is greater than the entire new car market in Spain. Is Germany's economy really what it is reported to be given all this fake demand pull-forward - or is it a total fraud?............. lees verderop: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/gms-channel-stuffing-goes-germany-europes-largest-economy-fraud

Dat het aantal stabiel blijft is begrijpelijk. Hoeveel mensen hebben hun duurdere wagen niet verkocht en vervangen voor een kleinere (minder fiscaal belast). Best zou Febiac eens de omzet van de verkoop vergelijken.
