Title: ECONOMIC CONSIDERATIONS (DISCUSSION)
Accession Number: 00378510
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: Looking at sensitivity to overall car size, looking at sensitivity to operating costs, looking at sensitivity to pruchase costs, looking at demographics, and looking at safety, there's no reason to believe that a mini-car like the Honda City could not substantially enlarge and dominate the small car market. Using the most likely combination of characteristics for the car, I would project a total market share of 60 percent for subcompacts and minis, with minis taking about 40 percent all by themselves.
