WESTLAKE VILLAGE, CA - J.D. Power said new light-vehicle sales this year will hit lowest point since 1994. Projected sales for the year were revised downward from 15.7M to 14.95M units, and falling consumer confidence and a troubled economy are cited as key reasons for the bleaker forecast, according to the company.

· Projected retail sales for the year are revised downward from 12.6M to 12.3M units.

 

· Fleet sales are on the decline already, but further decline is expected.
