Auto manufacturers' strong sales in the U.S. have been offset by a slowing European market. Europe's struggling economy has seen car sales in the region drop to near 20-year lows. European auto sales have fallen from 18 million in 2008 to a projected 14 million in 2012. As production continues to outpace demand auto manufacturers have been forced to take drastic measures. Ford has recently announced that it plans to close 3 European plants, which would eliminate 5,700 and reduce production capacity by 18 percent. The company expects to lose in excess of $1.5 billion in Europe in 2012, an increase from their previous estimate of at least $1 billion.
