說實話，在近代歷史裏，美國汽車產業從未經歷如此糟糕的一年，幸好時間已經過去了，我們期盼著車市怨氣也隨之煙消雲散。
2008年12月，MINI還是熊市的唯一倖存者，與2007年同期相比，總共多賣出4輛汽車，約增長0.1%，而日均銷量則完全沒有變化。至於其他品牌或集團，都成為了樂極生悲2008的最後祭品。
顯然，聖誕老人沒有帶Accord和Camry為禮物，Toyota和Honda的日均銷量分別下降36.7%和34.7%！GM和FoMoCo也不好受，占盡主場之利也只是少輸一點------日均銷量分別下降31.4%和32.4%！底特律三巨頭已重傷兩員，猜猜Chrysler LLC如何？它已是瀕死狀態，與2007年同期比較，日均銷量下降53%！它的子品牌Chrysler更難以置信地暴跌59.8%！知道這意味著什麼嗎？那是Hummer終於在2008年底擺脫了最差銷量品牌的惡名，好像是2008年首次。然後，Hummer也不會好多少，「僅僅」暴跌59.3%而已。
Audi、Lincoln、Subaru和Volkswagen成為去年底美國車市支柱，不僅僅是因為絕對銷量比較大，而且我們還要說，他們的跌幅水準已經比想像中輕微了------分別下跌9.3%、10%、7.7%和14.4%！
