[QUOTE="melvimbe, post: 1462626, member: 35314"] I have a hard time imagining demand is going to be very high for quite sometime. Besides the high unemployment right now, there is another group of the market that doesn't have a ton of job security. Sure, we aren't getting laid off right now, but it's entirely possible by the end of the year. A lot of companies that have the cash for the next couple months will have some respect for employees and keep them on during the crisis, but once it's over, they're going to have to right the size to fit the current market. It's not just about who has the ability to buy right now, but how confident we are about the future. And if you aren't confident, you're not going to discretionary spend. Even those that are cash flush, the ones laying off others, are going to be less inclined to make unnecessary purchases after just laying off employees. People are not as cautious, and are much greedier than previous generations, so it won't take as long, but it will take some time. What I think we'll see in terms of the auto market is that a lot of dealerships will close up, consolidate. Same goes for other industries. The small won't survive, while the big are likely to come out with a better market advantage when it's all past. [/QUOTE]
