Even Japanese cars which used to have great gains in the car market due to their efficiency are now experiencing sharp falls in sales due to customers shunning expensive items in favor of necessities.
All of the major cars were affected, led by Toyota, which dropped its sales by 32 percent. Honda followed with a 21 percent reduction in sales.
Quite unsurprisingly, demand for new cars softened as customers became unwilling to spend money on them.
