Economic issues and increased competition continue to dramatically alter an already turbulent automotive industry landscape.

Our annual, global Automotive Benchmarking Survey shows that gains made by both Asian and select European manufacturers have come at the expense of all three major US automakers and that the rise of Chinese and Indian manufacturers will further cloud the landscape. Additionally, increasing global competition has eroded new vehicle prices—profoundly influencing the profitability of major players with higher cost structures.
