European Car Registrations In October

The automotive industry in Europe is rebounding. According to ACEA, the  registrations of new cars in the EU were 4.7 percent higher in October 2013 than a year earlier, reducing the gap to last years' sales over the first 10 months to "only" 3.1 percent (down from 6.6 percent for the first 6 months of the year). But make no mistake this was still the second worst October since 2003; and some of the improvement is due to very high rebates.
