...will its future look like? It's difficult to imagine today, with consumers hunkering down, car loans drying up and the Detroit Three struggling to survive, but the global car business may be on the verge of a big upswing in demand. Companies that can meet consumers' needs for fuel-efficient yet stylish cars - and that have flexible manufacturing plants to turn out the hot products on demand - are likely to find huge opportunities for growth once the economy recovers.
