May 2008, substantially above the 13,000,000 unit 
seasonally adjusted annual rate generally regarded 
to be the indicator of a robust automotive industry. 
(3) Beginning in June 2008 and continuing 
through the present, the seasonally adjusted annual 
rate of automotive sales has averaged less than 
10,000,000 units and has exceeded that number in 
only three months and has not in any matched or 
exceeded the 13,000,000 unit seasonally adjusted
