2011: The Auto Industry Looks Ahead

The World

Paul Eisenstein, publisher of TheDetroitBureau.com, joins us with his predictions for the auto industry in 2011. “Barring a huge and fast runup in fuel prices, most people are predicting that this is going to be a pretty darn good year,” says Eisenstein.
