...established a joint venture with domestic vehicle manufacturer Mahindra & Mahindra. But 13 years later, it sells just 2,000 vehicles a month in India in the compact and mid-size car segments, according to the New Delhi-based Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers. India's biggest car company, Suzuki India, sells 57,000 cars a month in the same segments; Hyundai sells 23,232 cars a month...
...guards at gated homes like the one in which middle-class narrator Zaki Shirazi lives. Also in the house are three related women whose lives mirror the tottering arc of recent Pakistani history - from partition to the bruised Bhutto years, caught between purdah and leggy Jane Fonda workout tapes, Suzuki Swifts and donkey carts.

...most vulnerable? While 50 to 60 days' supply of cars is considered ideal, Chrysler is sitting on a 71-day supply and GM has an 82-day supply even after keeping most of their factories shut since the beginning of May. Some foreign-based automakers had even higher numbers: Suzuki has a 108-day supply, Jaguar dealers are sitting on a 92-day supply, Mitsubishi stands at 84 days and Mazda has 78 days of supply, according to estimates from dealers collected by J.D. Power & Associates. Honda, which traditionally has kept inventories lean, has a generous 64-day supply; Daimler...
