Traditionally, spring is a major selling season for automobiles. This year, however, the thaw has been almost imperceptible. April sales were 65% of those a year earlier; May was slightly better, reaching 66% of year-ago levels. Both figures are a tiny improvement on year-to-date sales, which so far are only 63% of 2008. So things appear to be getting slightly less bad.
