Car sales race to a blind corner in Canberra

Article Abstract:

The automobile industry continues to use discounts, rebates, and the addition of equipment to sell its automobiles at near record volumes, despite the industry's lobbying the government for cuts in wholesale taxes to avoid a buyers' strike. 1999 volume sales to end of September are down only 2.9% from the same period in 1998. The "light car" segment, however, has fallen, with some manufacturer's sales down by as much as 25.8%.
