But for the love of god, is everyone gone insane in the country? THey are shopping obama gear like he was some super-tonic that will cure all ills of the world. From books, comics, water, cookies, shirts, pants, shoes to calling him the messiah. When you look at the people he is getting into his "Change" government, you will notice no change, just same old lobbyists, ex-clinton people, and this is change? So this dumb fuckTard says the luxury car segment will bounce back in the second half of 2009 because of the Obama Stimulus package and 700 Billion bailout? WHAT A LIAR, or ignorant idiot. or both. Stimulus package, how much will an individual get? 10,000 for a down payment on a new 5 Series? lol or 500 dollars? As for the 700 billion bailout, that is really 7 trillion with fractional banking "Practices".... and what has that done so far? NOTHING. and it will do nothing, the banks will just play with the money and buy anything that is weak, while the every day joe-six pack looks on as his living standard, and pension gets blasted to smithereens.

Give it time, it's to our benefit now that luxury car sales are sliding - at least if you're buying a new car. That said, Audi surpassed BMW for the sport sedan niche in Germany with the A4 outselling the 3 Series. So, people are still buying them and not everyone seems to be hurting as much. It’ll rebound.

And the second-half of 2009 sounds optimistic...good luck with that. Just look at the numbers from the Business Week article. If corporate profits usually range in single to very low double digits annually then these drops of 20%+, no matter how well corporations are financed, are more than just a hardship. Tough times.
