European new car sales had their worst January in recorded history. The European manufacturers organization ACEA started recording in 1990, and it had never seen a January as bad. New car registrations were down 8.7 percent to 885,159 units in the EU. TTAC readers were pre-warned. As reported earlier in the month, volume markets such as Germany (-8.6%), Spain (-9.6%), France (-15.1%) and Italy (-17.6%) were down by the double digits. Only the UK (+11.5%) posted growth.  Ford, down 25.5 percent, is hard hit. GM is down only 5.5 percent, with Chevrolet down a whopping 40.2 percent, Opel is up 4.5 percent. PSA, down 16.3 percent, continues its swirl down the drain. Renault is down a benign 5.6 percent, Fiat lost 12.3 percent. Volkswagen, down 5.2 percent, keeps gaining market share. (Volkswagen's odd "others" number is mostly Porsche, which became a Volkswagen brand in August 2012.)
