"British car production fell 51.3 percent year-on-year in March as falling demand forced manufacturers to cut output sharply, the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders said on Friday.

"The number of cars produced in March was 61,829. Of those, 46,458 were for export, down 52.6 percent on the year, and 15,371 were for the domestic market, a fall of more than 47.2 percent."

They are not alone. GM is closing all of its U.S. plants for 2 months due to high inventory/ low sales volume. Current joke is that after getting so much government assistance they will change their name to Government Motors.
