Car makers running out of space to park unsold cars

Carmakers around the world are axing jobs and halting production as the number of unsold cars climbs to unprecedented levels. Storage areas and docksides that once functioned as temporary parking are now packed with vast number of unsold cars and it looks like they’re running out of places to put them. Nissan sure is. They’ve resorted to stashing row upon row of unsold Micras on their factory test track.

That is just plain sad. Now is probably the best time ever to buy a car if you can afford one.

this is a clear fact that the market of new cars are saturated already. Those can afford to buy expensive vehicles already have 1 or more cars. There are new professional and middle class citizen that are not capable of the level of prices. This crisis will bring the prices to lower level and opportunity for other to experience driving brand new cars while some will be able to purchase used cars when rich owner decided to sell their slightly used vehicles..
The crisis i think is not a crisis but a trends in Economy.
The crisis has worsened with every month. I think car manufacturers should offer fantastic discounts on sales to get the unsold cars moving. Nissan can start the trend.

First thing I thought when I saw hose pictures was: That’s a large amount of cash wasted. Thank God for Cash for Clunkers though
If someone going to view the pic 1st they will thought it’s a car rally but unfortunately its not Its a news for Car Company and business man.
Prices are way too high. 25-45000 before taxes, fees etc. Not anywhere near what I’m about to pay for a vehicle. Also, they don’t make them like they used too - longevity, and they all look the same. Boring. I will never pay that kind of money.
These Car Manufactures has been suffering as the their sales still not coming up. Also , Many other subcontracting manufactures has been bankrupting after the economy recession.
Wow! Sad, but now is probably a goodtime to get a good deal on that new car you have always wanted. But I agree - they sure dont build the cars like they used too.
Its very sad by seeing all these pictures.I think the car price is too high to purchase.So only the car manufacturers are suffering alot.
Wow is about all that you can say when you see something like this.
this is due to that sometime people can ‘t afford money to buy these cars ,so the car companies should take the good steps for it.
Thanks
