Paris Motor Show 2012 and European automotive reality

Cisco, Oct 17 2012 - The 2012 Paris motor show just closed its doors - and, with more than 1.2 million visitors, was once again the world's largest automotive gathering. More than 100 new car models were released. So the auto industry seems to be truly on fire, its innovation engine hitting on all cylinders. Yet economic reality looks very different. European auto sales fell 11% in September, representing the biggest annual plunge in almost 2 years. The full year market is projected to come in at a 17-year low. http://blogs.cisco.com/manufacturing/paris-motor-show-and-european-automotive-reality/
