I saw a statistic that said overall auto sales in the UK for April were down over 97% from April of last year!

U.S. authorities recently arrested two Americans accused of helping Ghosn escape, reportedly by secreting him in a box for musical instruments flown in a private jet. Japanese prosecutors issued arrest warrants for them last year and are seeking their extradition.
Before his downfall, Ghosn was a revered figure in the auto industry, especially in Japan, where he was a corporate superstar.
Material from Reuters was used in this report.

It trails market leaders Hino and Isuzu, which each typically sell more than 10,000 vehicles in the U.S. and Canada annually
